APAR status

  • Closed as program error.

Error description

  • Using MPIO, when a thinly provisioned Clariion LUN
    reaches
    its provisioned limit, any further write commands fail
    with
    a CHECK CONDITION with sense_key/asc/ascq of 07/27/07
    (DATA PROTECT, SPACE ALLOCATION FAILED WRITE PROTECT).
    Paths to the LUN are available, but I/O hangs.
    

Local fix

Problem summary

  • When an oversubscribed Thin Provisioned LUN is written beyond
    the actual allocated limit, the IO might hang. The IO will
    keep alternating among available paths but will never complete.
    

Problem conclusion

  • Disk driver modified to handle error conditions properly when
    a Thin LUN is oversubscribed.
    

Temporary fix
