According to "man dasd-eckd.637cf1":
Description
The device feature codes state which advanced features are supported by
a device.
Examples for advanced features are PAV or high performance FICON.
Some early
devices do not provide feature codes and no advanced features are
available on
these devices.
User action
None, if the DASD does not provide feature codes. If the DASD
provides feature
codes, make sure that it is working correctly, then set it
offline and back
online.
zypper in kernel-default-man if you get "No manual entry for dasd-eckd.637cf1"
