Error and Notification Messages

Error and Notification Message Details
0001 Controller reset occurred
Event Type
Information
Cause
The device driver has sent a soft reset to the 3ware RAID controller. The
driver does this when the controller has not responded to a command within
the allowed time limit (30 sec.). After the soft reset command has been sent,
the driver will resend the command.
Action
If this message occurs more than three times a day, collect the system logs and
contact Technical Support.
If this message is seen while installing a 9550SX controller card under
FreeBSD, it is due to the APIC (Advanced Programmable Interrupt
Controller) being enabled. To complete the installation you must disable
APIC. See Knowledge Base 14853: http://www.3ware.com/kb/
article.aspx?id=14853.
