IMPORTANT: If you use Serviceguard, HP recommends the PCI Error Handling feature only be enabled if your storage devices are configured with multiple paths and are protected by high availability storage software such as PVLink, SecurePath, or MirrorDisk/UX. If PCI Error Handling is enabled, but your storage devices are configured with only a single path, Serviceguard may not detect when connectivity is lost and cause a failover.
NOTE: With the PCI Error Handling solution installed, there is still a remote possibility that an MCA or HPMC could occur during a PCI OLA operation (online addition of an IO card). At the beginning of a PCI OLA operation, the PCI bus is set to hardfail mode until it is determined that the driver associated with the card is softfail capable. Any PCI error that occurs during this brief window of exposure (while the bus is in hardfail mode) can cause an MCA or HPMC. This exposure only exists during PCI OLA operations. This exposure does not exist during PCI OLR operations (online replacement of an IO card) or during ordinary IO card operations.
