All paths down on vSphere esxi 5.1, LSI 9211-8i

  • 772

Works 100% ESXi 5.1

HBA (LSI 1064e) > 1x SAS2 100GB SSD

Doesn't work ESXi 5.1

HBA (LSI 9211-8i IT /IBM M1015) > 1x SAS2 100GB SSD

After a few hours of heavy HD load i get: - Device or filesystem with identifier ['all drives'] has entered the All Paths Down state. - ESXi retries but loses connectivity to the SAS drive, marks it as "dead or error" - reboot fixes the issue

How can i fix this issue?

vmware-esxi

  1. Update the ESXis LSI 9211-8i driver. VMWare is shipping v.10 and we are at v.14. This update resolved a lot of issues for me.
