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.

Care to elaborate? What model HBA? What happened? We're a
Qlogic/EMC shop so I'm pretty curious.
