When SIM=307600 was output, the action code was not displayed on
SVP.
Low
The problem occurs when SIM=307600 is output.
(When FM SUM value error is detected by periodical diagnosis due to a
FM failure in MPB.)
The micro-program has been modified to display the action code when
SIM=307600 is output.

Any of the following phenomena might occur.
(1) PS OFF was disabled and SIM=388F00 was output.
(2) MPB replacement failed and SVP message ONL2788E was output.
(3) MPB removal failed and SVP message ONL2788E was output.
(4) Parity group migration in a CLPR failed.
(5) Cache maintenance (replacement, installation, removal) failed and
SVP message ONL2788E was output.
(6) An I/O to an LDEV that was a target of following operations turned
time-out by an operation accompanied with LDEV ownership migration
(such as MPB maintenance/ failure, LUSE connection/release, SI pair
creation/release, Snapshot pair creation/deletion, JNL VOL
addition/deletion, ownership migration by CCI/Storage Navigator).
Low
The problem may occur when any of the following operations is
performed.
(1) PS OFF
(2) MPB replacement
(3) MPB removal
(4) Parity group migration in CLPR
(5) Cache maintenance (replacement, installation, removal)
(6) An operation with ownership migration such as MPB
maintenance/failure, LUSE connection/release, SI pair creation/release,
Snapshot pair creation/deletion, JNL VOL addition/deletion, and
ownership migration by CCI/Storage Navigator.

During post-processing for an MPB failure, link-down occurred in all
ports of mounted CHT/CHG PCBs. At the completion of post-processing,
SSB=B6FB or B6F3 was output.
Medium
The problem occurs when all the following conditions are met.
(1) CHT/CHG PCBs are installed.
(2) An MPB failure occurs.
The micro-program has been modified not to execute SoftReset when an
MP failure occurs. However, loop initialization is executed to recover the
sequence if N_Port sequence, FLOGI sequence, path creation during
RSCN sequence, FrameManager LUP (FC_Stat is not linked up), or GS3
command or FC_SP sequence is in process.

A pool shrink operation was stuck and could not be completed.
Medium
The problem occurs when all the following conditions are met.
(1) Pool shrink is performed. (Pool shrink rebalance is in operation)
(2) One of the following processing is performed for the above pool.
(a) DP-VOL deletion
(b) LDEV format for DP-VOL (SOM867 is set to ON)
(c) TC pair creation while the VOL on secondary side is a DP-VOL.
(d) UR pair creation while the VOL on secondary side is a DP-VOL.
(e) Pool threshold is exceeded by a host write I/O.
