Explanation
When you add a managed MDisk to an MDisk group, the new MDisk is validated to ensure that adding it to the MDisk group will not adversely impact the MDisk group status.
The current status of the MDisk permits the validation to be initiated, but the allotted time for the validation process elapsed before the validation process had completed.
Note: You cannot add Read Only or faulty MDisks to an MDisk group.
Action
- Ensure that the controller settings are correct and that the MDisk logical unit is correctly configured.
- Ensure that the MDisk logical unit state is one that passes the validation. A Read Only or faulty MDisk fails the validation.
- Check the fibre-channel fabric and storage controller for faults that might reduce the reliability of cluster communication with the MDisk.
- View the cluster error log for more information about the failed validation.
