Why does ONTAP report scsiblade.volume.event.lost when a volume is offlined?
Applies to
- ONTAP 9
- AFF systems
Answer
- The scsiblade.volume.event.lost error is typically generated when a volume is taken offline before the associated LUNs are offlined.
- When a volume containing active LUNs is brought offline, the LUNs become suddenly inaccessible to connected hosts.
- Because the LUNs were not gracefully offlined first, ONTAP detects an unexpected loss of access to the storage objects.
- As a result, ONTAP generates a SCSIBLADE VOLUME EVENT LOST alert indicating that one or more LUNs in the affected Vserver and volume are no longer accessible through the SAN LIFs.
