003E Migration paused
Event Type
Information
Cause
Migration is paused. Migration follows the rebuild schedule.
Action
If you want the migration to resume, you can disable or modify the schedule
through 3DM or CLI

003F Flash file system error detected
Event Type
Warning
Cause
A corrupted flash file system was found on the 3ware RAID controller during
boot-up.
The 3ware RAID controller stores configuration parameters as files in its
flash memory. These files can be corrupted when a flash operation is
interrupted by events such as a power failure. The controller will attempt to
restore the flash files from a backup copy.
Action
Update to the latest firmware, as earlier firmware resets corrupted files to
default settings.
We recommend using 3DM, CLI or 3BM to check your settings, in case they
were not able to be restored.
