Operating Systems Solaris Issue with Fiber Channel cards in Solaris Post 303043272 by hicksd8 on Thursday 23rd of January 2020 05:08:35 AM

My first questions are (1) What make/model of storage is it? (2) What make/model of FC cards?

The first place I would be looking is the link configuration(s). The expensive FC cards are highly configurable beasts and the settings need to be compatible with the hardware at the other end of the link. Under pressure, the storage controller might dispatch a packet with a higher payload than the FC card buffer is configured to take causing data to be lost, protocol recovery to be invoked (unsuccessfully), etc, etc.

Have you run an I/O benchmark between Solaris and the storage to see the performance and, more importantly, whether that breaks too.
