SIM = Service Information Message, a message that contains details of a
hardware condition you should be aware of.  It is obtained by the host as
a result of reading sense data from a Unit Check.

>From the Linux source, drivers/s390/block/dasd_3990_erp.c, you can see
that Linux will display sense bytes 22, 23, 11, and 12.

The precise interpretation depends on the control unit type, but generally
speaking, 0xE465 is the "fault symptom code."   I think you should open a
problem report with your dasd vendor.
