Hello Thomas, We have seen cases where connecting to a LEFTHAND target resulted in the local host requesting to perform LUN resets and the bnx2i in RHELS 5.5 does not have support for such.
Here's an upstream patch which adds the TMF LUN reset support to bnx2i: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg05058.html In the case that it doesn't help, it would be helpful if you can gather a sniffer trace and var/logs so that we can see what the target is doing during the failure observed.
