cio.5b32ec 0.<from subchannel set ID>.<from device number> to 0.<to subchannel set ID>.<to device number> is not a valid range for cio_ignore

Explanation

The device range specified for the cio_ignore kernel parameter is syntactically incorrect. No devices specified with this range are excluded from being sensed and analyzed.

User response

Correct your range specification in the kernel parameter line to have the range of devices excluded when you next reboot Linux. You can write the correct range specification to /proc/cio_ignore to add the range of devices to the list of devices to be excluded. This does not immediately make the devices in the range inaccessible but any of these devices are ignored if they disappear and later reappear.
