We will appreciate if someone can work with IBM support to report this problem. SAN Discovery is a very important TSM function and it is widely used by our customer.

Our dedicated HBAs would just randomly log out of the Clariion. Presumably when a SAN Discovery "probe" went out. We couldn't get it to log back in without a reboot. A reboot also caused another Probe though, so we'd only be up for about 20 minutes. It was a major outage at multiple data centers, lots of visibility. IBM support was trying to upgrade firmware and drivers but nothing worked. Finally, a guess worked out and I turned off SAN Discovery and the problem went away. Ever since I've been terrified of SAN Discovery!

There are 7 tape HBAs, 3 of which go to physical tape, two of those have drives with this problem.
