Cause
The 3ware RAID controller was unable to complete the initialization. This

Action
If the unit was degraded, then rebuild the unit. This may necessitate replacing
the drive.
Check physical cable and power connections. You can also run the drive
manufacturer's diagnostic and repair utilities on the drive.
