Alarm Information
None
Handling Process
This problem does not affect services.
Root Cause

When it needed to access the storage device, the application server set up a connection again. The same symptom occurred on peer vendors' storage devices.
It is concluded that an HP-UX inherent mechanism defect led to an initiator Link Down on the storage device.
