Hello,
we have 2 HPE Apollo 4510 GEN10 with the HPE P408i controllers,
2 Pools, each with 30 Disks (3x vDev with 10 12TB Disks in RAIDZ2)
Each pool has a (mirrored) slog device and 2 cache devices.
The P408i is runnung in "mixed Mode" wich means if the drive isn unconfigured,act as an HBA. All Drives are unconfigured.
We present the data (ZVOLS) with iSCSI over Qlogic FC to ESXi.
Firmware is the newest available.
We have done burn-in- and performance-tests with good results, 3 weeks long.
After running 3 weeks in "production" (as a Backup-Device) we cannot access the data on all pools.
The whole system is very slow accessing the disks/pool (creating a file with "touch" let the ssh-session hung).
Using another controller (eg. LSI 3008) the pool is OK. But this controller has problems with SAS Expander... not showing all drives for all pools.
This is the same an both servers.
The Driver for the P408i is the smartpqi from microsemi.
Already tried a fresh install. nothing helps..
Any ideas?
Console messages looks like this... but no other error messages:
Thanks a lot!
