    • and;
    kernel:     <<vendor>> ASC=0x95 ASCQ=0x50ASC=0x95 ASCQ=0x50
    

Resolution

Next Actions

  • In most cases, these messages are hardware errors
    1. Open a Support Case with the hardware vendor
    2. If requested by the hardware vendor, open a new Support Case for collaboration with Red Hat, quoting the ticket number from them.

About Vendor Specific Error Codes

  • The SCSI specification reserves a number of codes above 0x08 for use by hardware vendors.
  • The meanings of these error codes are dependent on deployed hardware and vary between vendors.
