PCIe correctable error events for X4014A disks with a device status of 0xffff

Applies to

• AFF A800, AFF A250
• Internal X4014A NVMe SSD

Issue

• On AFF A800 or AFF A250 systems where internal X4014A NVMe SSD disks with a X4014S173A15TNTE drive string are idle, a PCIe correctable error event message might periodically be generated on the console and event log.
• The message can appear in maintenance mode or while ONTAP is running.
• It is least likely to occur if the drive is part of an aggregate that has active I/O.
• It is more likely to occur if the drive is a spare drive.

The following are examples of these error messages:

In ONTAP:

Correctable IIO errors: IIO3: RPT(93,2,0): PCI Device 144d:a825 in slot 30 on Controller, 
Dv[a825](121,0,0) in slot 30: DevStaJul 11 17:46:02 [localhost:pcie.errors:notice]: 
PCI Express correctable error - IIO3: RPT(93,2,0): PCI Device 144d:a825 in slot 30 on 
Controller, Dv[a825](121,0,0) in slot 30: DevStatus(0xffff);

On the console during bootup:

RPT(93,0,0): SecStatus(RcvMstAbt), BrCtrl((0x13)); IIO3: RPT(93,2,0): SecStatus(RcvMstAbt),
