It looks from the vxdisk list like actsvr103 is failing, but it is hard to tell from this if the cause of the problem is the fibre loop or the disk itself. Given that it appear to be affecting multiple disks would lean towards suspecting the fibre loop sbus controller or array controller ( if you have an array configured as JBOD ) or possibly just a failing port/transceiver since they all the disks appear to be on one fibre transceiver.

How can we conclude what's the problem?
I have the explorer from the system. So whatever outputs you want, I can provide the information. Kindly assist me out. Im stuck.

What can you do in terms of availability? Is it ok to bring the machine down or is it in production? I don't want to suggest anything that will cause you "manager problems".

Also what is the exact setup and what parts of the setup do you (currently) have replacement parts for? It look like an old enterprise machine with A1000/A5000 series arrays.

looks like an a5200 array. there are 16x9gb disks and two controllers. so it looks like an split bus setup. and it's rather old cause the machine has socal and not fcal adapters... on the other hand it can be a a1000 with mapped volumes... the target numbers maybe an indicator for volumes from a hardware raid system...

I agree. Your analysis is pretty much the same as mine.

Its a Production system, connected to a D1000 Array.
No worries about the availibility of parts. We will want a resolution so that we can follow up on that as soon.
And if there should be a downtime required, let me know with the action plan so that we can proceed.
