Hello again. I digged more into the log and also previous logs. The fail differs from normal noise in following: First, normal noise begins with: aic94xx: escb_tasklet_complete: REQ_TASK_ABORT, reason=0x6 sas: command 0xd8c229c0, task 0xda2505c0, timed out: EH_NOT_HANDLED Whereas there is no REQ TASK ABORT line when the problem occurs. Then it continues with following. The last three lines (task not in LU) are very suspicious. sas: Enter sas_scsi_recover_host sas: trying to find task 0xd7aae5c0 sas: sas_scsi_find_task: aborting task 0xd7aae5c0 aic94xx: tmf timed out aic94xx: tmf came back aic94xx: task 0xd7aae5c0 aborted, res: 0x5 sas: sas_scsi_find_task: querying task 0xd7aae5c0 aic94xx: tmf tasklet complete sas: sas_scsi_find_task: task 0xd7aae5c0 not at LU sas: task 0xd7aae5c0 is not at LU: I_T recover sas: I_T nexus reset for dev 5000c5000704c79d Few other lines, and then reseting continues: asd_clear_nexus_tasklet_complete: here asd_clear_nexus_tasklet_complete: opcode: 0x0 sending hard reset to phy-3:5 control_phy_tasklet_complete: phy5: sub_func:0x81 aic94xx: asd_clear_nexus_I_T: PRE aic94xx: asd_clear_nexus_I_T: POST aic94xx: asd_clear_nexus_I_T: clear nexus posted, waiting... aic94xx: asd_clear_nexus_timedout: here aic94xx: asd_clear_nexus_I_T: PRE aic94xx: asd_clear_nexus_I_T: POST aic94xx: asd_clear_nexus_I_T: clear nexus posted, waiting... aic94xx: asd_clear_nexus_tasklet_complete: here aic94xx: asd_clear_nexus_tasklet_complete: opcode: 0x13 sas: I_T 5000c5000704c79d recovered sas: --- Exit sas_scsi_recover_host Log says recovered, but device is inaccessible, and whole controller is frozen for a while then. Maybe until all other commands/tasks are aborted. Any help appreciated. Thanks.
