Summaries and Symptoms

Path failover on an active/passive array displays the warning message Did not switchover to vmhbaX:Y:Z. Check Unit Ready Command returned READY , which might be misleading.The fix changes the warning message to Path vmhbaX:Y:Z is already active. No action required , and also changes the alert level of the warning message from WARNING to LOG.
