5406 unicast storm control?

Hi,

  I'm looking for a little more info on what Cisco calls unicast storm control.  I recently swapped out two Procurve 2900 switches for a 5406 to handle our Equallogic SAN iSCSI traffic.  We have 4 SAN arrays, that were all running perfectly on the 2900s but the oldest array started generating a lot of retransmit errors when we moved it to the 5406.  The other 3 arrays have been running fine.  Dell is making a big deal about this unicast storm control feature but I can't find anything about it.  Does this feature exist, maybe under another name?  I really think they're barking up the wrong tree since there's nothing unicast-related set on the 2900s either.

 

Thanks.

 

-Josh.

The traditional Procurve switches don't have unicast storm control, although some of the 3COM heritage ones do.
