Controller Failover Question

I have a new install for a customer. All volumes are datastores. During controller failover I get the alerts below. NCM The datastore comes back but shouldn't the timeouts handle the short time the volumes are unavailable?

Lost connectivity to storage device

eui.f42a0b9ed83b20ba6c9ce9006fbaed88. Path

vmhba32:C3:T10:L0 is down. Affected datastores

Hello Bill. Do you have Nimble Connection Manager installed within VMware (or Windows if it's Hyper-V)?

Hi Nick,

We just have the NCM installed on the ESX hosts. We are only used volumes for datastores.
