SYMPTOMS
A logshow report includes the error

DISK01 FFAA date time - Ctrl/drive failed to generate an interrupt



CAUSE
This represents an RCB timeout, indicating that the system sent an I/O to the card but received no interrupt notifying it that the I/O completed. Usually this error occurs if the disk does not respond to the adapter or the adapter encounters a firmware problem.



RESOLUTION
If the error does not occur frequently, it's nothing to be concerned about. If it does occur frequently, your system performance can be affected, in which case you may want to consider replacing the disk and controller.
