This error recreated on the smaller 1U Open Power system with the same smaller 1-adapter/1-4U90 drawer/90 HDD. There are 2 cables connected to the drawer (one to each ESM) that requires multipath enabled.

This defect will go to Linux as even after making the below 2 changes in systemd resource limit, errors are seen:
root@yellowbee:
[Login]
UserTasksMax=
root@yellowbee:
[Manager]
DefaultTasksAcc
DefaultTasksMax
root@yellowbee:
logind limit for MaxUserTask as well as systemd limit was made infinite.
Please look defect SW363655 for more details and the suggestion given earlier by Linux team.
errors are still seen. So, would ask Linux team to take a look and see if anything else is causing these
errors.

It appears that the version of logind on this system does not support the value of "infinity", and is reverting to the default of 12288:
# cat /sys/fs/
12288
As a workaround until this can be resolved, specify an exact value. You can try using the current system thread-max value:
# cat /proc/sys/
3974272
/etc/systemd/

This patch appears to be included in debian/232-7, but is missing in the xenial and yakkety versions.
