This message is also being directed to Customer Services in the event
that it is strictly a hardware error.
The Government program I manage from a sales standpoint has gotten a
tricky problem that has not yet been rectified. They receive a
particular error message that causes problems generally necessitating a
reboot, and then goes away. Everything appears to be okay, and it then
rears its ugly head. The prime contractor and Digital have both been
working on the problem, but have not resolved it yet. I was hoping
that someone here may have seen this already and could shed some light
on it, since the message is being generated by the UNIX operating
system.
The error message received is: "Deferring I/O (Error -1 or Error 5)"
The prime contractor was told that this means a h/w error, but no one
has been able to shed any light on its cause or what not. The system
is a relatively new 2100A system running Digital UNIX 3.2D (will go to
4.0x in September; not an option before then.) If anyone can give any
advice it would be appreciated.

This message is a result of an I/O subsystem returning a error on an I/O request that could not be satisfied. The reason for the I/O failure should be recorded in the error logs. There are numerous reasons why the I/O request is failed but some are un-recoverabled media errors, device has gone away, device fault, etc. To find the real cause of the problem review the error log.
