Error message was generated by the EMS for the adapter installed at the hardware address 0/7/0/0.

Severity is critical, so chances are that you have a serious hardware failure.

# ioscan -fnH 0/7/0/0

Bill,

Is your environment by any chance a SAN that has an EVA on it? And running SecurePath software?

If you do, then chances are the SecurePath instructions were not followed to the letter. You must disable EMS monitoring of your FC Paths in a SecurePath+EVA/StorageWorks environment. Even with SecurePath 3.0D, this is still a requirement.

Nelson,

After talking with the sysadmin, it appears that this was generated during configuration the new system which is mirroring the old system for conversion to the new system.

Thanks for your info, I did pass it along.

I think you may very well have an EVA system and your SysAdmn is doing snapclones.. and I will advice him to make sure EMS is not active on the EVA FC. paths..
