Number Severity Description/Recommended actions
Recommended actions:
● Restart the Storage Controller that logged this event.
● If this event is logged again, shut down the Storage Controller and replace the
CompactFlash.
● If this event is logged again, shut down the Storage Controller and replace the controller
module.
482 Warning One of the PCIe buses is running with fewer lanes than it should.
This event is the result of a hardware problem that has caused the controller to use fewer lanes.
The system works with fewer lanes, but I/O performance is degraded.
Recommended actions:
● Replace the controller module that logged this event.
483 Error An invalid expansion-module connection was detected for the indicated disk channel. An egress
port is connected to an egress port, or an ingress port is connected to an incorrect egress port.
Recommended actions:
● Visually trace the cabling between enclosures and correct the cabling.
484 Warning No compatible spares are available to reconstruct this disk group if it experiences a disk
failure. Only disk groups that have dedicated or suitable global spares will start reconstruction
automatically.
This situation puts data at increased risk because it will require user action to configure a disk as
a dedicated or global spare before reconstruction can begin on the indicated disk group if a disk
in that disk group fails in the future.
If the last global spare has been deleted or used for reconstruction, ALL disk groups that do not
have at least one dedicated or global spare are at increased risk. Note that even though there
may be global spares still available, they cannot be used for reconstruction of a disk group if that
disk group uses larger-capacity disks or a different type of disk. Therefore, this event may be
logged even when there are unused global spares. If the dynamic spares feature is enabled, this
event will be logged even if there is an available disk that may be used for reconstruction.
Recommended actions:
● Configure disks as dedicated spares or global spares.
○ For a dedicated spare, the disk must be of the same type as the other disks in the linear
disk group and at least as large as the smallest-capacity disk in the linear disk group, and
it should have the same or better performance.
○ For a global spare, it is best to choose a disk that is as big as or bigger than the largest
disk of its type in the system and of equal or greater performance. If the system contains
a mix of disk types (SSD, enterprise SAS, or midline SAS), there should be at least one
global spare of each type (unless dedicated spares are used to protect every disk group
of a given type, which will only apply to a linear storage configuration).
485 Warning The indicated disk group was quarantined to prevent writing invalid data that may exist in the
controller that logged this event.
This event is logged to report that the indicated disk group has been put in the quarantined
offline state (status of QTOF) to prevent loss of data. The controller that logged this event
has detected (using information saved in the disk group metadata) that it may contain outdated
data that should not be written to the disk group. Data may be lost if you do not follow the
recommended actions carefully. This situation is typically caused by removal of a controller
module without shutting it down first, then inserting a different controller module in its place.
To avoid having this problem occur in the future, always shut down the Storage Controller
in a controller module before removing it. This situation may also be caused by failure of the
CompactFlash card, as indicated by event 204.
Recommended actions:
● If event 204 is logged, follow the recommended actions for event 204.
● If event 204 is NOT logged, perform the following recommended actions:
