HP DL380 G7 - IO Accelerator Card(s) Issue

[tyoung44]

I have a customer that has several DL 380 G7's that are having issues with running fio-attach and fio-detach. They have replaced over 7 cards in the last few weeks and I am not convinced the cards are actually faulty. The fio-attach on one server goes to approximately 80% and the comes back with "Operation not permitted."    They also have one server that will not actually detach /dev/fct1.  I have ran fio-status on the server that will not attach and the device shows "Flashback active on: 2/8,"  also shows "Media status: Healthy: Reserves: 100%, warn at 10%; Data: 99.21%"

I have ran the fio-bugreport but unfortunately due to our site location/type I cannot forward this information.  Are there some things I can look at?  We have upgraded the drivers for the IO Accelerator cards.  Would upgrading the Proliant Service Pack be of any help?

Any information will be greatly appreciated.

Additional inforamtion: /var/log/messages has the following error during the fio-attach after approx. 45% status:
