Cause

This problem occurs when the Windows Server 2008 R2-based system has a storage solution that uses Microsoft Multipath I/O (MPIO) with the Microsoft Device Specific Module (MSDSM) together with Asymmetric Logical Unit Assignment (ALUA). A transient error on the storage subsystem can cause a failure to obtain any data from the SCSI Inquiry page 0x83. This failure causes MPIO.sys to send a NULL pointer to MSDSM.sys.
