MC-08FC91]		 Under a server environment with LUNs by multi-path Fiber Channel (FC) cards, a failed FC path may not be switched to the alternative path. As the result, connections to corresponding disks are disconnected.
This problem occurs if the transmission line trouble occurs due to unstable FC connection even if an alternative path exists.
A error record below is added to Windows Event Log because the Windows Server OS judges this error as a disk problem.

Log name : system
Source : disk
Event ID:15
Description: The device, \Device\Harddiskxx\DRxx, is not ready for access yet.

This problem may occur under the following states.
- A FC cable is not plugged properly to the FC card, or,
- Connecting parts of either a FC cable or the FC card the cable is plugged are deteriorated

Please ask your local Fujitsu sales representative whether there is problem in the FC cable and the FC card.
