were not able to be restored.

0042 Primary DCB read error occurred
Event Type
Warning
Cause
The controller found an error while reading the primary copy of the Disk
Configuration Block (DCB).
The controller will attempt to correct the error by reading the back-up copy of
the DCB. If a valid DCB is found, the primary DCB is re-written to rectify the
errors.
