Contact technical support.
CTL40 Detailed Description
An error involving multiple bits has been encountered during a read or write operation. The error correction algorithm recalculates parity data during read and write operations. If an error involves only a single bit, it may be possible for the error correction algorithm to correct the error and maintain parity data. An error involving multiple bits, however, generally indicates data loss. In some cases, if the multi-bit error occurs during a read operation, then the data on the disk may be ok. If the multi-bit error occurs during a write operation, then data loss has occurred.
Recommended Response Action
Replace the Dual In-line Memory Module (DIMM). The DIMM is a part of the controller battery pack. Refer to the storage hardware documentation for information on replacing the DIMM. You may need to restore data from backup.
