Hi,

In most cases you will find that this particular error relates to actual timeouts between your server and the disk array that is servicing. To fix this problem have a look at increasing the SCSI timeout for that LUN or even all of your LUN's in your disk array. The use of the 'pvchange -t' will look after this. There is a man page for this as well.
As an example I would look at increasing this value to 180.
pvchange -t 180 /dev/dsk/c2t0d2

Hi Michael,
Thanx for your help. I identified the disk and ran dd to find for errors. It got terminated with I/O error. Now I am planning to replace the disk.
Thanx & Regards,

Hello,

IO error does not necessarily mean a faulty harddisk. It could be a faulty SCSI cable or terminator. It could be the SCSI card.

HTH,
