Error Description: DISK OPERATION ERROR
This error is logged by the logical volume manager (LVM).
Physical Volume | ID of physical volume where error occurred. |
Error Description: BAD BLOCK DIRECTORY OVER 90% FULL
This message is issued when the bad block directory is over 90% full during an operation to update it. When this directory is full, bad blocks cannot be relocated.
Current Number Of Entries | |
Number of entries in the bad block directory. |
Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS
A bad block relocation attempt by the LVM has failed. The bad block directory on the physical volume has been corrupted.
Block Number | Number of the bad block. |
Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS
An update operation on the bad block directory has failed due to the reason indicated by the error code. Any bad blocks on this DASD that have not already been relocated will not be relocated.
Directory Operation | |
The directory operation, if any, the system was working on at the time of the error. |
Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE
A bad block relocation operation has failed because the bad block directory on this DASD is full. Any bad blocks on this DASD that have not already been relocated will not be relocated.
Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS
The bad block relocation pool has no free blocks left. Therefore, any bad blocks on this DASD that have not already been relocated will not be relocated.
Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS
A bad block relocation attempt by the LVM failed due to a cause other than a media error. The cause is indicated by the error code.
Block Number | Number of the bad block. |
Error Description: BAD BLOCK RELOCATION FAILURE--PV NO LONGER RELOCATING NEW BAD BLOCKS
An attempt at hardware relocation followed by the maximum number of attempts at software relocation have all failed for the stated bad block. No more relocations will be attempted on this physical volume.
Block Number | Number of the bad block. |
Error Description: HARDWARE DISK BLOCK RELOCATION FAILED
A hardware relocation operation initiated by LVM for a bad disk block has been unsuccessful. This could be due to hardware limitations.
Block Number | Number of the bad block. |
Error Description: HARDWARE DISK BLOCK RELOCATION ACHIEVED
A hardware disk block relocation initiated by the LVM was successful.
Block Number | Number of the bad block. |
Error Description: PHYSICAL VOLUME DEFINED AS MISSING
During the varyon procedure for a volume group, a physical volume was missing. The physical volume could be powered off or physically missing.
Error Description: PHYSICAL VOLUME IS NOW ACTIVE
A previously missing or removed physical volume has become active.
Error Description: MIRROR CACHE WRITE FAILED
A write operation to update the mirror write consistency cache failed.
Block Number | Number of the bad block. |
Error Description: PHYSICAL PARTITION MARKED ACTIVE
A formerly stale copy of a mirrored partition has been marked fresh. This could be due to its location on a formerly missing physical volume that became available and for which the syncvg command has been issued.
Physical Volume Device Major/Minor | |
The device number of the major/minor physical volume. | |
Logical Volume Device Major/Minor | |
The device number of the major/minor logical volume. |
Error Description: FAILED TO WRITE VOLUME GROUP STATUS AREA
A write operation to update the volume group status area did not complete successfully. The volume group status area contains the status of mirrored partitions and of the physical volumes.
Error Description: PHYSICAL VOLUME DECLARED MISSING
A physical volume is missing while the system is writing a volume group status area (VGSA). The VGSA contains the status of mirrored partitions and of physical volumes.
Error Description: PHYSICAL PARTITION MARKED STALE
A copy of a mirrored partition has been marked stale. This could be due to its location on a missing physical volume at the time the partition is updated.
Physical Volume Device Major/Minor | |
The device number of the major/minor physical volume. | |
Logical Volume Device Major/Minor | |
The device number of the major/minor logical volume. |
Error Description: QUORUM LOST, VOLUME GROUP CLOSING
If a plurality of volume group status areas are not active, then the volume group is shut down. The check of the quorum count is done whenever a physical volume is missing during a volume group status area update.
Quorum Count | The number of the status areas that reside in the volume group. |
Active Count | The number of active status areas in the volume group. |
Error Description: SOFTWARE DISK BLOCK RELOCATION ACHIEVED
A software disk block relocation initiated by the LVM was successful.
Block Number | Number of the bad block. |
