QLA2340 in an IBM x346 running ESX 3.5u3. Connected to a CX4-480. It'll corrupt the datastore and cause all sort of wacky errors when trying to manipulate files, use S-VMotion, etc. What accesses do work will happen at a glacial pace. Old firmware was 1.25. Latest is 1.54 and seems to fix the problem though I don't yet know if it will help matters when accessing a datastore that's been molested by the old firmware. I'll know more soon.
This setup was working great for many months talking to an old CX-500. This kept me up 'til 2AM. Grrr. RM On Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:34 -0800, "Sean Martin" <[email protected]> wrote: Care to elaborate?

We're a Qlogic/EMC shop so I'm pretty curious. - Sean On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 12:05 PM, RM <[[email protected]> wrote: ...or when you hook up your 4+ year old HBA in an ESX box to a shiny new CX4, Very Bad Things Can Happen.
