APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • There may be cases that a particular IO hit too many
    ENXIO
    errors returned by the FC adapter.
    Normally, that would result in an I/O failure and
    an undetermined disk error be logged.
    In the case of MPIO configurations, this APAR makes the
    code more robust and allows the PCM to route the I/O to
    another path for retry, rather than failing the I/O
    outright after multiple retries on a single path.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • In MPIO config, under certain error condition, I/O might fail
    even there are some good paths available
    

Problem conclusion

  • code is modified to retry the I/O in other paths
    

Temporary fix
