BL35p disconected from MSA1000

Edgard Matamala — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 15:38:55 GMT

Hi all,
I have a BL35p with RedHat 3 connected to an MSA1000 with other 5 servers more.

The problem is that randomly the server loses connection with the MSA, this is only reset when restarting the server. After that the server returns to access your hard drive by the MSA.

This server has boot from SAN, Curiously before Beginning with this issue repeated messages are seen as still in the log messages:
