Hey all, FYI, it seems there is a bug in the qla4xxx driver shipped with XCP1.0beta (module version 5.02.03.00.05.07-c2). I tested it on an IBM x3650 with a QLE4062C card and found the device would keep resetting itself, as shown here in the dmesg: Feb 7 12:16:37 xenserver-2 kernel: qla4xxx 0000:1b:01.3: qla4xxx_get_fwddb_entry: DDB[2] MB0 4000 Tot 1 Next 0 State 0004 ConnErr 00000000 10.0.69.1 :3260 "iqn.2011-02.servers.nas1:xenstore" Feb 7 12:17:17 xenserver-2 kernel: qisioctl6: ql4_scsi_passthru: ERROR = command timeout.
