An error detected during a paging operation.

[aaaA_4]

Hi,

I have my Windows Server 2003 box connected to disk array XP512, with S-vol disks configured there. Problem is, that a huge number of warnings (An error was detected on device\Device\HarddiskX during a paging operation.) are created continuously in the Event log filling it up in a few minutes. S-vol disks in PAIR status are visible to OS, but the problem was not resolved even by creating them with -m noread options (paircreate).
Any ideas? Help will be appreciated.

Could be the disk timeout needs to be increased.

However it could also be a number of other issues.
HBA/drivers
Do you use scsiport or storport drivers
2003 SP1 or SP2 ?

If SP1 or without SP be aware there are a lot of hotfixes regarding disks.
Storport.sys updates
VSS updates
Cluster hotfixes
MPIO updates
etc...



Cheers,
Rune

Hi Rune,

Windows Server 2003 SP1 with storport drivers is used with no cluster or MPIO in place.

Thank you,
