HWNPM4189W number of MDisks of the MDisk statistics from the device agent were unrecognized and were not included in this data collection interval.

Explanation

The MDisk statistics data received from the device agent included data for a number of unknown MDisks. This could be due to one of the following conditions:

  • The probe of the subsystem did not complete successfully, and failed to record information for all storage extents of the subsystem.
  • The subsystem configuration was recently changed to add more MDisks. These new storage extents have not yet been discovered by IBM Spectrum Control.

Action

Rerun a probe for the subsystem to ensure that any unrecognized MDisks are discovered and properly recorded in the IBM Spectrum Control database. If this message persists for subsequent performance data collection intervals, even after successful completion of a probe, contact your IBM service representative.
