Hi Charles,

Can you provide with some more info
syslog.log - any errors

do an ioscan and find out the status of this card.

Seems to be a FC card error or may be some loose connection. I have recd such errors and after replacing the FC card the problem got solved. But this used to happen for the older versions of FC cards.

What is the frequency of the error. Run the fc_utils also and check.

Hi - just got off the phone with HP after checking the array and cards and finding no problems. This problem occured during a peak disk usage time and they said this could be due to that and not to worry about it unless we started seeing "escalating" numbers of these errors.

thanks,

Is it aways the device at port 0x27 ?

I'd keep a close eye on that.

What is the device with loop id hex27 ?

Run
ioscan -fnk | grep 255

Any other servers on the loop experiencing similar warnings?

Later,
Bill

Try increasing the timeout value

#pvchange -t 120 /dev/dsk/c#t#d# (120 seconds)

#pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c#t#d#

Good Luck
