PD -- Sparing Algorithm is not set
PD Suggested Action 5
Check the system’s Sparing Algorithm value using the CLI command showsys -param. The value
is normally set during the initial installation (OOTB). If it must be set later, use the command setsys
SparingAlgorithm; valid values are Default, Minimal, Maximal, and Custom. After setting the
parameter, use the admithw command to programmatically create and distribute the spare
chunklets.

Displays port connection issues.
• Checks for ports in unacceptable states
• Checks for mismatches in type and mode, such as hosts connected to initiator ports, or host
and Remote Copy over Fibre Channel (RCFC) ports configured on the same FC adapter
• Checks for Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors on a port
• Checks for degraded SFPs and those with low power; perform this check only if this FC Adapter
type uses SFPs
