We are having disk issues with IBM VIO servers using CX4 disks(SATA). The symptom are that when we do veritas commands (specifically vxdisk list) it take for ever.... like 30-45 minutes for the response. One time, unknowingly we issued too many of the commands and it eventually panicked the box. We are digging deeper into the problem and I am wondering about the initiator type and the Failover mode.

Initiator Type: Clariion Open
Failover Mode: 1

Can anyone comment on these? Thanx in advance.
