We've a number of IBM 3630M3 servers, equipped with BBU M5014/5015s, running as 
CIFS server, with a mixture of OI148 and OI151a.  Nothing fancy (no dedup, no 
compression), just a pool of mirrored disks aka RAID10, with CIFS access 
authenticated via MS AD.

Intermittently, CIFS/SMB will go down, sometimes this can be restored via 
restarting the smb service ("enable -r smb/server"), other times it 
necessitates a server reset ("svcs | grep smb" shows that smb/server has an * 
next to it).

And one of the servers (always the same, so far...) will intermittently reboot 
(more frequently than the SMB service going down).  Sometimes in the middle of 
the day, sometimes in the evening (once it was around 6pm).  This particular 
server will reboot and come back up without much delay, and the pool and zfs 
shares come back online fine.

I'm not sure if these events, the CIFS/SMB service going down, and the 
intermittent server reboot are related, and I'm not sure if its also related to 
the mr_sas/mpt bug (https://www.illumos.org/issues/618 and 
https://www.illumos.org/issues/1069), as the M501[45] are just LSI controllers, 
using SUNWmrsas.

Anybody have any suggestions about how to investigate this further, or if this 
is indeed the behaviour associated with the aforementioned mr_sas/mpt bugs?

Thanks... Yu-Phing
