What did you see with your reset storm? Were there log errors in
/var/adm/messages or did you need to check the controller loogs with
something like lsi util?

Did the reset workaround in the blog post help?

The expanders you were using were SAS/SATA expanders? Or SAS expanders
with adapters on the drive to allow the use of SATA disks?

I've been using 4 X-25E's with Promise J610sD SAS shelves and the
AAMUX adapters and have yet to have a problem.

I'm surprised you had problems with the internal SATA ports as well-
any idea what was causing the problems there?
