dasd-eckd.def9e6 <bus ID of the DASD>: Path <cssid>.<chpid> (pathmask <logical path mask>) is operational despite excessive IFCCs

Explanation

The threshold value for interface or channel control checks (IFCCs) for the channel path was exceeded. The channel path remains operational because the autodisable feature for defective channel paths is not active. Defective channel paths can adversely affect performance.

User response

Ensure that the cabling between the storage server and the mainframe system is securely in place. If you observe performance impacts, consider setting the channel path offline. By default, the DASD device driver disables defective channel paths for you. You can restore this default, for example, by writing '1' to the path_autodisable sysfs attribute. If the problem persists, report it to your support organization.
