Karen,
The above doesn't make sense to me. How is "SAS 1064 RAID" related to
"Ultra320 SCSI"?
This card has both traditional 68-pin VHDLC connector and SAS/SATA connector?
Is the word "and" missing from the above?

My interpretation of this (and Eric should know this alot better) is
the host is attempting to
read (action=01h) this page (type 08h ==
MPI_CONFIG_PAGETYPE_RAID_VOLUME) and couldn't.
ie maybe HW RAID isn't configured on the card?

Similarly, if this is being reported for a "normal" LSI u320 scsi controller
which doesn't support RAID, then perhaps the mpt driver should "learn"
it doesn't need to query this page.

My guess is it's reported as an error because the bhost attempted to
read them but couldn't.

hth,
