There are two options at this point to get to root cause of why your ESX hosts are continuously generating I/O timeouts and subsequent ABORT_TASKs, even when the host is idle. First, have you looked into changing the ESX host FC LLD side timeout and queuedepth that I asked about earlier here..? http://www.spinics.net/lists/target-devel/msg11844.html What effect does reducing the queue depth and increasing the timeout have on the rate in which ABORT_TASKs are being generated..? Beyond that, you'll need to engage directly the QLogic folks (CC'ed) to generate a firmware dump on both host and target sides for them to analyze to figure out what's going on. Are you using QLogic HBAs on the ESX host side as well..? -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe target-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
