Error Message SVC-3-NODE_ERR_MSG: (SVC [dec]/[dec]
SS_EID_VL_ER_MDISK_RESOURCE_RAN_OUT ) Too many Managed Disks 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 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_QUORUM_DISK_CREATION_FAILURE ) A suitable Managed Disk for use as a
Quorum Disk was not found [chars].
Explanation
No managed disk is suitable for use as a quorum disk. When a cluster is created, three
disks are automatically selected as quorum disks. A quorum disk is needed to enable a tie-break
when some cluster members are missing. To become a quorum disk: The managed disk must be
accessible by all nodes in the cluster and the managed disk must have free extents. This error code
is produced when at least one quorum disk is not accessible by all nodes in the cluster. A quorum
disk might not be available because of a Fibre Channel network failure or because of a Fibre Channel
switch zoning problem.
Recommended Action 1. Resolve any known Fibre Channel network problems. 2. Confirm that
managed disks have been created and that those managed disks have free extents. 3. List the manage
disks. If at least one managed disk shows a mode of managed, mark the error you have just repaired
as fixed. 4. If you are unable to make the appropriate changes, ask your customer support
representative for assistance.
