X9SCM-F
32GB Samsung ECC
3x LSI SAS1068e (old I know)
2x Intel 1000 PT Server Adapter
16x 1TB Seagate
4x 240GB OCZ ARC100
3 Pools:
2* 3x2 Mirror
1 2x2 SSD Mirror
All providing iSCSI storage for a 'production' lab VMware cluster.
I'm seeing a repeated (but difficult to reproduce) 'crash' which the only common thing is it is always during a storage vmotion operation. ESXi will show APD, SSH will freeze then eventually disconnect, the console over IPMI will be responsive in the shape that pressing enter will produce a line feed and key presses seem to be accepted but with no response, no shell, nothing. Only way out is to hard reset freenas over IPMI.
This has been happening ever since I moved from nexentastor (due to VAAI instability!) to FreeNAS lured by the apparent feature completeness of ctl vaai, both originally when I was running no ecc and a Z68 motherboard and now when i'm a bit closer to a recommended configuration. I can run memtest until the cows come home (days) without any errors and nothing memory error wise is reported in the IPMI event log either.
No crash dump, nothing in the logs, it literally just stops doing anything when it happens. It's also pretty random I could do 10 SvMotions and it will fall over on the 11th which makes it even more annoying as you can never be sure when it will happen. The only quasi indicator I get is was the idle process will drop to under 250% usage before it dies.
Anybody else experienced anything like this? I've run out of ideas and options until NexentaStor 5 goes GA but i'm not sure I want to go back there either.
