Abstract

Provided are a method, system, and article of manufacture for synchronizing device error information among nodes. A first node performs an action with respect to a first node error counter for a device in communication with the first node and a second node. The first node transmits a message to the second node indicating the device and the action performed with respect to the first node error counter for the device. The second node performs the action indicated in the message with respect to a second node error counter for the device indicated in the message, wherein the second node error counter corresponds to the first node error counter for the device.
