Partition errors

This topic provides example error messages that can occur when working with partitions.

Error conditions can occur when working with partitions. If an error condition exists, the IMM2 will return an event code to the event logs. Two error conditions are described in the following table and displayed in the next two illustrations.

Table 1. Partition error conditions.

Three column table with two rows describing partition error messages and the action to take to resolve the error condition.

Error	Description	Action
Failed to do partition action.	Some partitions that are selected are in the power on state.	Power off the partition.
Failed to group partition.	There is a mismatch of the firmware versions between the nodes within the complex.	Update the IMM2 firmware version for all of the nodes to the same firmware version.

The following illustration is the response received if attempting to perform any type of partition action and the nodes in that partition are powered on. To correct this problem power down all nodes in the partition.

The following illustration is the response received if there is a mismatch between the firmware versions among the nodes. To correct this problem ensure all nodes contain the same IMM2 firmware version.
