Cause

These errors indicate a CAM communication problem with a DSM Agent.

This could occur if network link is unstable or has been cut.

These errors could be ignored. They do not indicate a problem with caf on the Domain and/or scalability servers

 

It is possible to avoid these events to be logged by doing this on the scalability server :

 

 

1- Execute this command
 
ccnfcmda -cmd SetparameterValue -ps itrm/common/caf/events -pn error -v 0
 
 
2- Restart caf
 
caf stop
caf start
