hi evrybidy 

 

1 have a Vess R2000fi by 4 JBOD . that si connect to ESXi host by to SAN Switch .

 

i have many problem by this storage 

 

1- When add LUN to Hosts afte some hours ,host state change to not responding in VCSA  until detached LUN as Host by LUN masking or SAN Switch zoning or disconect port physically

 

 

2-befor state (problem-1 ^)  like this error view in host log =>

Hi Alireza,

It's not possible to debug a complex issue knowing just the topology.

But I can offer a few suggestions. If you have disabled LUNaffinity (controller settings), please re-enable it. You will probably have to reboot both the Vess and ESX hosts after this as half the active path will go standby and a rescan won't help. And I would not suggest that you use round-robin as the multipathing policy. The best is to use fixed and manually balance the paths.

If the SFPs are getting old, they may be a source of more errors than data passed. Check the FC stats and make sure that the FC paths are error free or only have a small number of errors. SFP write lasers have a limited life, this is why SFPs are plugin-replaceable.

Another thing you should check for is whether some of your disks are going bad. If they are going into constant read retries to recover a bad block, a RAID is no faster than the slowest component or link. Also check BBM.

And if you have not updated to the latest firmware, please do. The firmware update process will also update the JBOD firmware.
