Doing a Google search for "B8FBD189" results in this tip:

"An array operation failed (D9770360) beacuse an adapter call failed (825849BF) because a protocol command wasn't supported (B8FBD189-Communication error has been detected at the FC I/O controller protocol device.).

Try updating the firmware on the HBA and switch. This recommendation assumes the protocol command that wasn't supported originated from the SFP."

If the disks and psudo disks (vendor specific MPIO output shows all paths and disks available) then i would ignore this message.
