Hi List,

Any ideas what is wrong with controller? It is running latest 5.x series of centos and driver spills out following warnings at random times:

mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - IOC is in FAULT state (1600h)!!! mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing HardReset from mpt_fault_reset_work!! mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - IOC is in FAULT state!!! mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - FAULT code = 1600h mptbase: ioc0: Recovered from IOC FAULT mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - mpt_fault_reset_work: HardReset: success mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - IOC is in FAULT state (1600h)!!! mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - Issuing HardReset from mpt_fault_reset_work!! mptbase: ioc0: Initiating recovery mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - IOC is in FAULT state!!! mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - FAULT code = 1600h mptbase: ioc0: Recovered from IOC FAULT mptbase: ioc0: WARNING - mpt_fault_reset_work: HardReset: success

Take a look on the dell lists (this search in Google):

site:lists.us.dell.com IOC is in FAULT state (1600h)!!!

But, that is normally indicative of a drive failing ... though it could also be a driver issue.

The dell list is probably the best place to get an answer.
