member offline and initializing for hours.
One of 3 Equallogic members went offline yesterday. In a trial to fix we turned off the equallogic using physical button. I know now that this was a bad idea. From the groups CLI using command show recentevents we found this before the problems started:

Jumbo Frames.
NOTE: More than one initiator is now logged in to the target.
It appeared multiple times for multiple different volumes. And few seconds later this:

iSCSI initiator connection failure.
Connection was closed by peer.
Our Setup:
4x m630 blades in M1000 chassis, 2 MXL switches.
2x n4032F switches
3x Equallogix PS6210, v9.1.4 (24x 900G 10K SAS)
3 HDDs in 1 of the equallogix boxes have been replaced with 1.2 TB 10K SAS drives by Dell (I assume 900G are not available anymore). I'm writing here because 2 of the Equallogic boxes warranty and support expired in January 2020. So only 1 of them is still covered. The offline box is not under warranty anymore.
CLI on the box which seems offline from the group reads this:
The storage array is still initializing. Limited commands will be available until the initialization is complete. Please try again later.
