sfo.giveback.aborted.bdfu

Severity

ERROR

Description

This message occurs when giveback of storage failover (SFO) aggregates is aborted because the background disk firmware update either on the source node or destination node took more than 120 seconds to finish.

Corrective Action

Rerun the "storage failover giveback" command.

Syslog Message

Giveback is aborted: %s took more than 120 seconds to finish the background disk firmware update.

Parameters

nodename (STRING): Node where the background firmware update took more than 120 seconds to finish.

sfo.giveback.aggregatesAbort

Severity

INFORMATIONAL

Description

This message occurs when a giveback of non-root aggregates is aborted by either another takeover or other conflicting operation.

Corrective Action

(None).

Syslog Message

Giveback of non-root aggregates to node %s was aborted due to another takeover or other conflicting operation. "override-vetoes" was set to %s, "require-partner-waiting" was set to %s, and "only_newly_acquired" was set to %s.

Parameters

partnerName (STRING): Partner name.
override_vetoes (STRING): Flag that indicates whether the system overrides veto checks during a giveback operation. This flag corresponds to the "-override-vetoes" parameter of the "storage failover giveback" command. When set to true, it might result in some veto checks made by subsystems on the source node getting overridden.
require_partner_waiting (STRING): Flag that indicates whether, during a giveback, the storage is given back regardless of whether the partner node is available to take back the storage. This flag corresponds to the "-require-partner-waiting" parameter of the "storage failover giveback" command. When set to true, it might result in the giveback proceeding even if the destination node is not ready to receive the aggregate being migrated.
only_newly_acquired (STRING): Flag that indicates whether, during a giveback, only aggregates acquired during the last takeover will be given back.

sfo.giveback.attemptExceeded

Severity

ALERT

Description

This message occurs when the number of attempts for automatic giveback of storage failover (SFO) aggregates exceeds the maximum allowed.

Corrective Action

Use the "storage failover show-giveback" command to identify the subsystems that failed the giveback. Follow the corrective action specified in the EMS message displayed by those subsystems. Retry giveback by using the "storage failover giveback" command.

Syslog Message

Attempts for automatic giveback of SFO aggregates exceeded the maximum number (%d) of allowed attempts.

Parameters

attempts (INT): Maximum number of automatic giveback attempts allowed.

sfo.giveback.complete

Severity

INFORMATIONAL

Description

This message occurs when a giveback of storage failover (SFO) aggregates to the SFO partner controller finishes.

Corrective Action

(None).

Syslog Message

Giveback of SFO aggregates to partner (%s) is complete. override-vetoes: %s, require-partner-waiting: %s, and only_newly_acquired: %s.

Parameters

partnerName (STRING): Partner's name.
override_vetoes (STRING): Flag that indicates whether the system overrides vetoes during a giveback operation. This flag corresponds to the "-override-vetoes" parameter of the "storage failover giveback" command. When set to true, it might result in some veto checks made by subsystems on the source node getting overridden.
require_partner_waiting (STRING): Flag that indicates whether, during a giveback, the storage is given back regardless of whether the partner node is available to take back the storage or not. This flag corresponds to the "-require-partner-waiting" parameter of the "storage failover giveback" command. When set to true, it might result in the giveback proceeding even if the destination node is not ready to receive the aggregate being migrated.
only_newly_acquired (STRING): Flag that indicates whether, during a giveback, only aggregates acquired during the last takeover will be given back.

sfo.giveback.delayed.bdfu

Severity

INFORMATIONAL

Description

This message occurs when giveback of storage failover (SFO) aggregates is delayed because a background disk firmware update is in progress either on the source node or destination node. If the update does not finish within 120 seconds, giveback will be aborted.

Corrective Action

(None).

Syslog Message

(None).

Parameters

nodename (STRING): Node where the background firmware update is in progress.

sfo.giveback.failed

Severity

ALERT

Description

This message occurs when giveback of the partner's Storage Failover (SFO) aggregate fails.

Corrective Action

Other error messages indicate the exact cause of failure along with the corrective action.

Syslog Message

Giveback of aggregate %s failed due to %s.

Parameters

aggr (STRING): Name of the aggregate that was not given back.
msg (STRING): Error that prevented giveback.

sfo.giveback.OpFailed

Severity

ALERT

Description

This message occurs when the Storage Failover (SFO) phase of giveback fails.

Corrective Action

Refer to other generated error messages to identify the exact cause of failure and the corrective action.

Syslog Message

SFO phase of giveback failed by node %s because %s.

Parameters

node (STRING): Name of the node that failed giveback.
msg (STRING): Error that prevented giveback.

sfo.giveback.postMigrNotOk

Severity

ALERT

Description

This message occurs when the specified subsystem encounters an error during the post-migration phase of the giveback operation.

Corrective Action

Check the event log for a subsystem-specific reason as to why the subsystem failed the post-migration phase of the giveback operation. The corrective action is subsystem-specific and is detailed in the corrective action portion of the message. Follow the corrective action specified by that message.

Syslog Message

The giveback operation of '%s' encountered an error during post-migration processing. The error was encountered by the subsystem '%s'.

Parameters

aggr (STRING): Name of the aggregate on which the subsystem attempted the giveback operation.
subsystem (STRING): Name of the subsystem that failed the post-migration phase of the giveback operation.

sfo.giveback.spares.failed

Severity

ALERT

Description

This message occurs when giveback of the partner's storage failover (SFO) spares fails.

Corrective Action

Try the SFO giveback again.

Syslog Message

Giveback of spares failed due to %s.

Parameters

msg (STRING): Error that prevented giveback of SFO spares.
