1 Data inconsistency in data migration from EMC storage
Phenomena After data migration is performed from EMC to RAID700 using FICON
Data Migration, a host job may end abnormally on the target volume due
to data inconsistency. The following phenomena may occur.
- When DB2 is executed, the error message DSNB224I or DSNB226I is
generated. (No Rec Found or Invalid track Format)
- When a host I/O is received, EQC (Format’x8’, Message’x9’, Byte18-
19:x6388) occurs, and the host job ends abnormally.
(Note) Even if the above phenomena do not occur, the volume for which
data migration is performed using FICON Data Migration may already
have a data inconsistency.
Severity (High, Medium, Low) High
Conditions of Occurrence The failure may occur when all the following conditions are met.
A. RAID700 Ver.70-01-62-00/00 and later
B. Data is migrated using FICON Data Migration
C. The source external storage is EMC
D. A link failure occurs while mapping a registered path during data
migration Note: The link failure in D. is not a link down, but is a bit error
caused by a signal problem.
Affected Products/Version DKCMAIN: 70-01-62-00/00 and higher

2 Data inconsistency Copy-on-Write Snapshot P-VOL or S-VOL
Phenomena One of the following phenomena may occur.
a) When the pairsplit operation is performed for a Copy-on-Write
Snapshot (hereinafter referred to as “CoW”) pair and data is read from S-
VOL, the updated P-VOL data after the pairsplit operation is read instead
of the P-VOL data before the pairsplit operation. As a result, a file system
problem occurs, or applications detect errors.
b) When the pairresync –restore operation is performed for a CoW pair,
and P-VOL data is read while the CoW pair is in the COPY(RS-R) status
or in the PAIR status, the P-VOL data before the pairresync –restore
operation is read instead of the S-VOL data before the pairresync –restore
operation. As a result, a file system problem occurs, or applications detect
errors.
Conditions of Occurrence Phenomenon a) may occur when all the following conditions A, B, and C
are met.
A. RAID700: All the current versions
B. System Option 737 is set to OFF
C. The following shows the conditions for each CoW pair configuration.
C1. Multiple CoW pairs are defined for one P-VOL
C2. One or more CoW pairs described above are in the PSUS status
C3. During P-VOL data update (*1), the pairsplit operation is
performed for the above-described CoW pair in the PAIR status
*1) Data update that occurs in following four environments C3-1 to C3-4
C3-1. Configuration that contains only CoW pairs Write I/O is issued to
P-VOL from the host
C3-2. Configuration where a CoW pair is combined with a TrueCopy pair
P-VOL is TrueCopy S-VOL. While the TrueCopy pair is in the COPY or
PAIR status, initial copy or update copy of TrueCopy pair is performed
C3-3. Configuration where a CoW pair is combined with a Universal
Replicator pair P-VOL is Universal Replicator S-VOL. While the
Universal Replicator pair is in the COPY or PAIR status, initial copy or
update copy of the Universal Replicator pair is performed
C3-4. Configuration where a CoW pair is combined with a ShadowImage
pair P-VOL is ShadowImage S-VOL. While the ShadowImage pair is in
the COPY(RS), PAIR, PSUS(SP), or COPY(SP) status, a copy operation
is performed for the ShadowImage pair.
C4. The CoW pair for which the pairsplit operation is performed does not
have the CTG configuration
Phenomena b) may occur with the following conditions A, B, H, I met.

A. RAID700: All the current versions
B. System Option 737 is set to OFF
H. While a read or write I/O is issued to CoW P-VOL, the pairresync –
restore operation is performed.
I. The above-described pairresync –restore operation is the second or later
pairresync –restore operation for the same P-VOL after the pair is created

3 HDD may become blocked when SATA-E mode is used
Phenomena When the SATA-E mode is used for SATA HDD, CHK2 may occur due
to a write sequence error. Depending on the number of times the error
occurs a day, the following phenomena occur, and LDEV and/or MP are
blocked and data loss occurs in the worst case.
- It occurs four times in the same drive port -> SIM RC=df6xyy or df7xyy
- It occurs eight times in the same drive port -> The drive port is blocked.
SIM RC=df8xyy or df9xyy is reported.
- Both ports of the same HDD are blocked -> HDD is blocked.
SIM RC=ef0xyy is reported.
- HDD is blocked by exceeding redundancy in same ECC -> LDEVs in
the same ECC group are blocked. SIM RC=dfaxyy or dfbxyy is reported.
- It occurs 128 times in the same logical DMA -> Logical DMA is
blocked.SIM RC=cf6xyy is reported.
- Multiple logical DMAs in the same DMA are blocked -> DMA is
blocked. SIM RC=cf83xx is reported.
- All logical DMAs in the same DKA PCB are blocked -> MP is blocked.
SIM RC=3073xx is reported.
In addition, if this error occurs when there is no redundancy in the same
ECC or when correction read is performed for recovery of a write
sequence error , PIN slot(s) occur(s) and SIM RC=ff4xyy is reported.
Conditions of Occurrence The WSEQ# information may become invalid when all the following
conditions A to C are met.
A. RAID700 micro-program version 70-01-01-00/00 and later
B. The SATA-E mode is used
C. SSB EC=13dc (Write Pending 65% or more) is reported
(Note): In reality, the phenomenon may occur when “Write Pending of
the CLPR to which the HDD that uses the SATA-E mode belongs is 68%
or more”. But in the case of monitoring data, a brief increase in Write
Pending may not be indicated in the data, so check if SSB is output to
determine whether the condition is met. When the WSEQ# information
becomes invalid, if the SATA HDD data is read using the WSEQ#
information, a write sequence error occurs.

executed every 10 seconds by the failure information receiving module
and logging off from SVP.
