Individual Drive - Degraded Path
What Caused the Problem?
The specified drive channel is experiencing intermittent errors along the path to a single or several drives. The Recovery Guru Details area provides specific information you will need as you follow the recovery steps.
Important Notes
You must contact your technical support representative to correct this failure. DO NOT attempt to fix it yourself.
If a Loss Of Path Redundancy failure is also being reported in the Summary area of the Recovery Guru, you MUST fix this failure first; otherwise, you could lose both paths to the drives.
DO NOT select Recheck until you have consulted with your technical support representative.
Correct this failure as soon as possible. The drives are still operational, but a level of path redundancy may be lost. If the other channel to any of these affected drives fails, the drives themselves could be failed.
