(Subsystem 198)
array device controller (by downloading new firmware),
and that upgrade operation did not complete successfully.
ACTION Call your Hewlett-Packard Representative.
-187 MESSAGE CS80_TOO_MANY_SPARES The disk device
controller has rejected a SPARE BLOCK command
issued by the host system. The command was
rejected because ten or more SPARE BLOCK
commands had already been given to the device
since it was last powered-on.
CAUSE Probably a hardware problem in the disk device has been
causing the disk device to report an excessive number of
Unrecoverable Read errors to the host system, thus
causing the host to issue an excessive number of SPARE
BLOCK commands.
ACTION Call your Hewlett-Packard Representative.
-188 MESSAGE CS80_MECHANISM_FAULT The disk array device
controller has detected sufficient error
conditions in one of the disk mechanisms to
cause the controller to declare the mechanism
to be faulty. The controller has removed the
mechanism from service.
CAUSE A mechanism within a disk array device has exceeded its
allowable error threshold.
ACTION Call your Hewlett-Packard Representative. If this is a
Parity-Protected disk array device and this is the only
mechanism that has faulted, then the device will continue
to operate correctly. If not, the device will go "offline".
-189 MESSAGE CS80_UNABLE_TO_SKIP_MECH CS80 hardware status
indicates that the device has received an
improper "Set Skip Drive" command from the
host system. The command was improper because
its execution would have caused the disk unit
to "go offline" and be inoperable.
CAUSE In disk array devices, either a Parity-Protected Striped
Unit already has one "skipped" or "faulted" mechanism
(and so cannot tolerate another skipped mechanism) or
else a Non-Parity-Protected Unit has been asked to skip a
mechanism; it can't.
ACTION This condition indicates improper operation by or of the
host system's disk diagnostic software. Check to see that
the diagnostic program is being run correctly. If it is, and
the problem persists, call your Hewlett-Packard
Representative.
