i've never experienced service interruption during storage provisioning. If all you were doing was adding new LUNs and did not even get to the part where the host was rescanning to see them ...i don't see how it could cause issues.  Were there any errors in PowerPath , syslog ?

are you saying adding LUN is the only change you did to storage groups? what OS is this for oracle cluster? any device scanning tool ran on the host side immediatly after presenting LUN?

Hi SKT,

To be more specific, the oracle cluster is an vSphere cluster, hosting virtual Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 R2 virtual servers. There is no clustering on Microsoft level.

I added a few luns to the ESX cluster. On that moment, disk errors were reported by multiple virtual servers.

I am not convinced the problem is in the CX, but I just wanted to check that in this thread.

I have seen something of that sort long ago but it was specific to an earlier release of flare 30 with virtual provisioning only.

You would see in the SP event logs events from virtual provisioning MLU driver, they may appear as normal but the drive experinced problems.

I do not remember the specific flare version, but the MLU driver had memory leaks and also had a SOC memory limit ( safe operating capacity). It has since been fixed though.

If you search for SOC on powerlink, you may find sveral primus cases.

May i know the flare on the array. I think you might have to open a case with the support to get the logs analysed accordingly.
