SQL Timeout

[MASSOT]

Hello,
We do have an SQL timeout issues(see attached file) with our Itanium platform connected to an HP EVA 5000. Even when we do an intense copy on the EVA, we can observe a timeout.
We did use differents emulex divers, the last one is 6.1.11a3.
Our VCS version is 3.028 and our securepath version is 4.0c SP2-5.
We are in an MSCS cluster and the all the disks are on the same VD (so we have 1 group cluster) and SQL2005 SP1.

Thank you for your help here

We also have issues with an HP EVA 4000. Unfortunately, the configuration of this SAN is not under our control. However it should be pointed out that unless you are using diskgroups with only a single lun on them, you can't be sure what else is using the disk subsystem at the same time!

So firstly, find out what else is using the physical drives in question. Then find out if you're using any SAN replication.
