1320 A disk I/O medium error has occurred.

Explanation

A disk I/O medium error has occurred.

Action

  1. Check whether the VDisk the error is reported against is mirrored. If it is, check if there is a "1870 Mirrored VDisk offline because a hardware read error has occurred" error relating to this VDisk in the error log. Also check if one of the mirror copies is synchronizing. If all these tests are true then you must delete the VDisk Copy that is not synchronized from the VDisk. Check that the VDisk is online before continuing with the following actions. Wait until the medium error is corrected until trying to recreate the VDisk mirror.
  2. If the medium error was detected by a read from a host, ask the customer to rewrite the incorrect data to the block logical block address (LBA) that is reported in the host systems SCSI sense data. If an individual block cannot be recovered it will be necessary to restore the VDisk from backup. (If this error has occurred during a migration, the host system does not notice the error until the target device is accessed.)
  3. If the medium error was detected during a mirrored VDisk synchronization, the block might not be being used for host data. The medium error must still be corrected before the mirror can be established. It may be possible to fix the block that is in error using the disk controller or host tools. Otherwise, it will be necessary to use the host tools to copy the VDisk content that is being used to a new VDisk. Depending on the circumstances, this new VDisk can be kept and mirrored, or the original VDisk can be repaired and the data copied back again.
  4. Check managed disk status. If all managed disks show a status of "online", mark the error that you have just repaired as "fixed". If any managed disks do not show a status of "online", go to start MAP. If you return to this step, contact your support center to resolve the problem with the disk controller.
  5. Go to repair verification MAP.
