ALERT

Description

This event is emitted when we detect that the partner sees more of our disk shelves than we do. In other words, it sees more shelves on its FCAL B loop than we see on our A loop. This is probably due to a cabling problem or a broken FCAL host adaptor. If "disk_shelf" negotiated failover is enabled, this condition should lead to a takeover by the partner if the partner is otherwise able to take us over.

Corrective Action

Resolve cabling issues which are preventing both nodes from seeing the same disks.
