AIX 5.2/Cambex PC1000/Securepath 2.0D/HSG80 i/o failure
I attach the relevant AIX errpt output and would be interested if anyone has seen similar conditions, or know of a remedy.
Early vendor support recommendation is to increase rw_timeout, as they judge it as characteristic of a long fibre connection, but cables are only 15 metre, and due to its nature, we are loathe to start performing outages just to tweak settings that shouldn't be causing issue.

Re: AIX 5.2/Cambex PC1000/Securepath 2.0D/HSG80 i/o failure
(as You're not using JFSunstable, err JFS2)
Can You do some load testing on each of the paths (simply a dd to /dev/zero) and watch PortErrShow on the corresponding switch?
Neither the cambex drivers nor AIX come with reasonable FC error statistics like HP-UX has, so You'll have to search for the root issue.
maybe something in between of 5.2's MPIO and the cambex driver and SecurePath got confused, letting the error go unnoticed. :/

Re: AIX 5.2/Cambex PC1000/Securepath 2.0D/HSG80 i/o failure
We are having a similar problem:
AIX V5.2 / p660
Secure Path 2.0D
HP/Brocade 2/32 SAN switches (fixed port speeds)
EMA 12000s with VCS 8.7x & 8.8x
We discovered that there's a restriction where you must only have a single path from a LUN mapped to a HBA in secure path. This resolved a problem with our inability to see LUNs dynamically. Do you know if you have more than one path per HBA per LUN?
Are you mirroring your SAN disk, if so, have you applied the LVM mirror patch for AIX: bos.rte.lvm 5.2.0.50? The combination of problems with the HSG and AIX without this patch will result in corruption.
Changes we have applied have resulted in resolving issues with corruption but we are still experiencing availability issues and I/O errors.
