1 Blockage of multiple cache PCBs
Phenomena When a power outage that can be restored within several
tens of seconds occurs, the data is backed up in memory but
not saved in CM-SSD as per specification.
However, if such an instantaneous power outage occurred
frequently (*), battery charge gradually got low and
eventually ran out. In this case, though the data was
volatilized, the micro-program determined as non-volatile
and cache management information became invalid, leading
to blockage of multiple cache PCBs. (SIM=FFEExx,
SSB=1355, 13C0)
(*) An instantaneous power outage repeatedly occurs within

10 seconds for 40 minutes or longer.
Severity (High, Medium, Low) High
Conditions of Occurrence The problem occurs when all the following conditions are
met.
(1) Cache battery charge is 50% or higher.
(2) An instantaneous power outage occurs frequently. (*)
(*) An instantaneous power outage repeatedly occurs within

10 seconds for 40 minutes or longer.

output, if SOM144 or SOM887 was set to ON and a
response delay was detected in the same drive again, SIM
by the SOM setting was not output.
Severity (High, Medium, Low) High
met.
(1) There is a drive in which SSB=A4CE has been output.

which the LDEV used to belong, Restore Keys window is
activated.
Phenomenon 2:
After Edit CU Monitor Mode and then Select by Parity
Groups windows are opened, a parity group to which the
