I setup FC for ESXi back in 9.10 with a QLogic QLE2462 adapter as per the guide on here and all has been working well until I upgraded to 11 where I've ran into a very annoying and hard to pin down crash/kernel panic.
It's very random occuring, for example freenas had been up for over 40 days this time before it randomly reset on me this morning, as you can imagine this is pretty catastrophic from a VM perspective and I imagine 50% of the VMs will need restoring from backup due to corruption when I fire it back up again.
When it happens I will find freenas stuck in a boot loop where it begins to load the isp driver with the scrolling message in the screenshot i've attached.
I loathe to go back to 1GB iSCSI but I may have to at this point as this is probably the third/fourth time this has happened since upgrade to 11 and with the sporadic randomness of it all it's very difficult to trust the storage going forward.
Has anyone ran into this before/yet? Any pointers anyone can give, i'm set on trying something to try and solve this rather than just starting back up again this time as I know it will just happen again unfortunately.
FreeNAS is E3-1230v3 on a X10SLF-H with 32GB of Samsung ECC that memtests just fine so i'm pretty confident it's not the hardware directly and i've swapped the FC card for another which has made no difference.
