Just thought I would put this out there..

Couple days ago, started seeing these errors in my message file.. Opened the case with support, and they said its “normal” and is going to disk for the data.. Has anyone seen this in their messages file before?  I am waiting to see if it’s a pattern, but has not gone away, and has happened the last couple days.

: extCache.io.readError:error]: WAFL external cache I/O read error: FAL error: fal_response_get_status() failed , code 2.

This filer is a 6240, PAMII, DOT 7.3.6.p2  running CIFS/FC, etc.  No VMWare, etc.  Couple heavy SQL servers on it.

I guess I could press and ask for a new PAM card (which was replaced about 6 months ago). Or take it down for diags..

Has anyone seem this before?

Thanks

Steve
