I think that ql is the HBA driver.

Verify that your firmware/driver for the HBA adapter are updated. Verify that you are not getting connection errors to the SAN.

Alberto:

This can usually mean that you have a connection problem with your hba or with your SAN switch, perhaps a bad hba or a bad port transceiver or even a bad fibre cable

Check the event log on your SAN switch as well.

The warning is the driver response to a query to the SAN Switch for either information from the Name Server or a request to access a device that has reached the "timeout period" and has not jet received anything.
