WARNING: sfdsk: failed to abort I/O requests on disk:device info : devno(maj,min)=p_devno(p_maj,p_min)
devname=pdev
error info : errno=errno
Explanation
The request to cancel I/O requests on the physical device indicated in device info (an ioctl request for the mphd or mplb driver) ended abnormally.
Resolution
Collect investigation material and contact field engineers.
WARNING: sfdsk: hook for device is not GDS entry.
Explanation
Inconsistency was found in management information of disks registered with GDS, but it does not affect the operation.
Resolution
No resolution is required.
WARNING: access protection of physical special files disabled, major=major
Explanation
Accessing physical special files of the device for the major number major cannot be restrained due to unsuccessful memory allocation.
Resolution
Be careful not to access physical special files directly.
To restrain access physical special files, check whether you have sufficient memory or swap area, and then reboot the system after performing the procedure if necessary.
WARNING: sdxfunc: no enough address space, osfunc=osfunc, errno=errno
Explanation
Memory allocation failed.
Resolution
Check whether you have sufficient memory or swap area. If not, expand it and reboot the system.
WARNING: sfdsksys: cannot get device identifier, details
Explanation
Could not get the disk device identifier. Thus, operations such as setting or canceling the system disk mirroring, or swapping the disk cannot be performed.
Resolution
Collect investigation material and contact field engineers.
WARNING: sfdsksys: illegal disk specific informationExplanation
The disk specific information of the root class that GDS registered to NVRAM (non-volatile memory) of the server itself is invalid.
If this message is output, the system may not be started.
This message is output when the system is started, if either operation below was performed in the environment where the system disk mirroring is performed on a VMware guest by using virtual disk (VMDK) or RDM in virtual compatible mode.
The 4.3A40 or earlier environment that the patch for PH06344 was not applied was upgraded to the 4.4A00 or later environment.
The 4.3A40 or earlier environment that the patch for PH06344 was applied without canceling the system disk mirroring was upgraded to the 4.4A00 or later environment.
Resolution
Cancel the system disk mirroring once, and set it again.
By this operation, the appropriate disk specific information is registered to NVRAM.
WARNING: sfdsk: failed to create volume, no enough address space:volume info: devno(maj,min)=v_devno(v_maj,v_min)
Explanation
Because the memory allocation used in the settings for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function failed, the creation of the volume shown in volume info failed.
Resolution
Check if the memory is insufficient, see "MemFree" of /proc/meminfo. If the memory is insufficient it is necessary to change the system configuration and allocate more memory, or to cancel the settings for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
Refer to the installation guide for the memory necessary for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
WARNING: sfdsk: failed to open disk, no enough address space:device info: devno(maj,min)=p_devno(p_maj,p_min)
devname=pdev
Explanation
Because the memory allocation used in the settings for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function failed, the open request of disk shown in device info failed.
Resolution
Check if the memory is insufficient, see "MemFree" of /proc/meminfo. If the memory is insufficient it is necessary to change the system configuration and allocate more memory, or to cancel the settings for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
Refer to the installation guide for the memory necessary for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
WARNING: sfdsk: failed to change attribute value of iotimeout in class, no enough address spaceExplanation
Because the memory allocation used in the settings for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function failed, the command to change class attribute failed.
Resolution
Check if the memory is insufficient, see "MemFree" of /proc/meminfo. If the memory is insufficient it is necessary to change the system configuration and allocate more memory, or to cancel the settings for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
Refer to the installation guide for the memory necessary for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
WARNING: sfdsk: startup failed, failed to create a new threadExplanation
sfdsk driver ended because the creation of thread has failed and continuing of the process is impossible.
Resolution
Check if the memory is insufficient, see "MemFree" of /proc/meminfo. If the memory is insufficient it is necessary to change the system configuration and allocate more memory, or to cancel the settings for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
Refer to the installation guide for the memory necessary for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
WARNING: sfdsksys: failed to create a new thread, the I/O monitor was inactivatedExplanation
I/O Response Time Assurance Function is disabled because the creation of thread has failed.
Resolution
Check if the memory is insufficient, see "MemFree" of /proc/meminfo. If the memory is insufficient it is necessary to change the system configuration and allocate more memory, or to cancel the settings for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
Refer to the installation guide for the memory necessary for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.
WARNING: sfdsksys: no enough address space, the I/O monitor was inactivatedExplanation
I/O Response Time Assurance Function is disabled because the memory allocation has failed.
Resolution
Check if the memory is insufficient, see "MemFree" of /proc/meminfo. If the memory is insufficient it is necessary to change the system configuration and allocate more memory, or to cancel the settings for the I/O Response Time Assurance Function.

WARNING: sfdsk: slice is pre-detached by an I/O error:
volume info: devno(maj,min)=v_devno(v_maj,v_min)
device info: devno(maj,min)=p_devno(p_maj,p_min)
Explanation
The slice in which I/O error has occurred was detached from the netmirror volume prior to changing the slice status.
Resolution
If the message 44005 is output on one of the nodes after this message, no action is required fort this message.
Otherwise, perform the following resolution:
If the cluster node is in LEFTCLUSTER
Restore the LEFTCLUSTER. For details on how to check the LEFTCLUSTER and restoration procedure, see "7.16.8 Restoration when the Latest Disk Cannot Be Selected Automatically" and "PRIMECLUSTER Cluster Foundation Configuration and Administration Guide."
If the cluster node is not in LEFTCLUSTER
Closed class may occur due to disk failure. Identify the cause by referring to the object status, GDS log message, and rsyslogd message. For procedures on how to check for closed class and restoration procedure, see "(1) Class becomes closed status during operation." in "D.1.4 Class Status Abnormality."
