Item Description
Contents Controller may fail with the above error when the online controller replacement or the online
microcode replacement is performed. When this error occurs before the replaced or rebooted
controller comes back to a Ready condition, a subsystem down may occur.
Problem may occur when all the following conditions are met.
A) LU0 is undefined or LU0 is configure with small cache segment(4KB/8KB)
B) 2GB or more cache memory is installed on the controller
C) LU with RAID5 (4D+1P or 8D+1P) or RAID6 (4D+2P or 8D+2P)
D) Sequential write commands with more than 512KB/command are issued to an LU
E) During the above sequential writes, the online controller replacement or online microcode
replacement is performed

2) Subsystem Hung-up by Controller Failure during LU Ownership Change


Item Description
Contents In case that a controller failure occurs during an LU Ownership change by LU, the remaining
controller may be hung-up. Problem may occur when all the following conditions are met.
A) LU ownership change by LU is invoked by an operation from SNM or host I/O
B) The default owning controller of the LU is blocked during the above ownership change

3) Subsystem Hung-up by large size READ command


Item Description
Contents The subsystem may hang up when a host issues a Read command of large size (1MB) or larger
and random. Problem may occur when all the following conditions are met.
A) RAID6 with 17D+2P to 28D+2P

Il42xy System copy failed(Unit-x, HDU-y)
Problem may occur when all the following conditions are met.
A) WMS100 (does not occur on AMS500 or AMS200)
B) Power On subsystem
C) Single controller
D) Removed(missing) System HDD or system area HDD block
