The trespass events are seen with the error code "606" these are something which is caused by the host and the possible reasons are as follows: 
 
The primary reason for the trespasses is that the host is periodically aborting commands. A host will do this when it thinks a command is taking too long. That happens when the array is overloaded and/or the host timeout is not long enough.

This also occurs when the host senses a path failure or if a LUN is trespassed by another host if in a cluster.

Resolution

  1. The events of 606 unitshutdown are received due to the lower redirector of VNX Storage Array. When a pool private LUN is trespassing very few times per week, this is by no means excessive nor would it cause any performance problems. 
  2. These alerts are received by the user because he is not using default template of EMC.
  3. With reference to Call_Home_Template_7.33.0.11, these events are not checked. Since there is no impact on the performance by these events, all that is necessary is to un-check the event code from the template or use latest default call_home template.
