The types of Cnt Ac-J Z failure are as follows:

Failure during a failover

PSOFF or severed power

Others

Inter-disk controller communication failure/full journal

Internal storage system failure

PSOFF refers to when a storage system is turned off, whereas severed power refers to when the

supply of electricity to the storage system is cut off, such as during a power outage.
