P400 controller error on SB40c

[Charlie Brown] — Fri, 31 Dec 2010 07:49:07 GMT

Hi,
I have a storage SB40c which is attached to BL460c. Today one of my server unexpectedly gave an error on the controller P400. My monitoring tool showed all 6 Disks inside SB40c for being down. The server was UP, the Windows Drive was accessible but I was not able to open any files or copy any files from this storage.
I rebooted the server and everything is back to normal.
Below are the errors details;

First I would check the firmware of all components involved, see also
