Wed Jul 6 08:02:24.889: Lost 72 DMP I/O statistics records

Cause

When the DMP  varible "dmp_probe_idle_lun" set to "on"  it will collect I/O statistics, the

buffer for the I/O statistics can over flow when there is a large amount of error activity on the SAN.

 

Resolution

Ths is an information message and does not cause functional problem.

Setting dmp_probe_idle_lun to "off" will stop statistics collection and stop any new messages related to statistics.

 

To Check the tunables, 

# vxdmpadm gettune [all | tunable]

To Change the tunables

# vxdmpadm settune dmp_probe_idle_lun=off / on
