APAR status
Closed as program error.
Error description
A NPIV client may fail to recover a path, if the physical path remains in a failed state for an extended period of time. If the path is offline long enough for the client to exhaust its maximum number of retries, the client will not recover the path, even after communications is restored. A path might be in a failed state for an extended time due to the switch or the end storage device being offline. This can happen if the FC switch is rebooted, or if a storage subsystem node is rebooted during a concurrent code download procedure.
Local fix
Remove the virtual adapter instance on the client, and re-discover, using rmdev/cfgmgr.
Problem summary
DAfialed path does not recover
Problem conclusion
occasionally retry failed paths that have been open in the past
