Chapter 2 System Messages and Recovery Procedures for the Cisco MDS 9000 Family
Error Message SVC-3-NODE_ERR_MSG: (SVC [dec]/[dec]
SS_EID_VL_ER_DEVICE_RESOURCE_RAN_OUT ) Too many controllers were presented to the
cluster [chars].
Explanation
The configuration is not valid. Too many devices have been presented to the cluster or
node.
Recommended Action 1. Remove unwanted devices from the Fibre Channel network fabric. 2. Start
a cluster discovery operation to find devices. 3. List all connected managed disks. Check with the
customer that the configuration is as expected. Mark the error you have just repaired fixed.
Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(1).
Error Message SVC-3-NODE_ERR_MSG: (SVC [dec]/[dec] SS_EID_VL_ER_IO_ERP ) Error
Recovery Procedure occurred [chars].
Explanation
A managed disk error recovery procedure (ERP) has occurred. This error has been
reported because a large number of disk error recovery procedures have been performed by the disk
controller. The problem is probably caused by a failure of some other component on the SAN.
Recommended Action 1. View the error log entry and determine the managed disk that was being
accessed when the problem was detected. 2. Perform the disk controller problem determination and
repair procedures for the managed disk determined in Step 1. 3. Perform Fibre Channel switch
problem determination and repair procedures for the Fibre Channel switches containing the node,
and connected to the disk controller that is managing the managed disk, and any Fibre Channel
switches in the Fibre Channel path between those switches. 4. Mark resolved errors from Steps 2
and 3 as fixed. 5. Take an error log dump if no switch or disk controller failures were resolved in
Steps 2 and 3. Call your customer support representative.
Introduced Cisco MDS SAN-OS Release 1.3(1).
Error Message SVC-3-NODE_ERR_MSG: (SVC [dec]/[dec] SS_EID_VL_ER_IO_ERROR ) Managed
Disk I/O error [chars].
Explanation
A managed disk or managed disk controller port has been excluded because of
excessive errors or unusual behavior.
Recommended Action 1. Repair the enclosure or disk controller. 2. Check the managed disk status.
If any managed disks show a status of online, mark the error you have just repaired as fixed. If any
managed disks show a status of excluded, include the managed disks and then mark the error as
fixed.
