Right. I don't think it's the LIP's that's the problem but rather (a guess, not verified) the fact that the HBA loses "light" on it's fiber interface when the switch reboots... I think I also saw the same ZFS-induced panic when I (stupid, I know, but...) moved a fiber cable from one GBIC in the switch to another "on the run". I also saw this with the "ifp" driver btw. And as someone wrote - the ifp driver will never be updated since it's for EOL'd hardware :-) This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
