And predictably, I'm back with another n00b question regarding this array. I've put a pair of LSI-9200-8e controllers in the server and attached the cables to the enclosure to each of the HBAs. As a result (why?) I'm getting some really strange behavior: * piss poor performance (around 5MB/s per disk tops) * fmd(1M) running one core at near 100% saturation each time something writes or reads from the pool * using fmstat I noticed that its the eft module receiving hundreds of fault reports every second * fmd is flooded by multipath failover ereports like: ...

I suspect that multipath is something not exactly very happy with my Toshiba disks, but I have no idea what to do to make it work at least somehow acceptably. I tried messing with scsi_vhci.conf to try and set load-balance="none", change the scsi-vhci-failover-override for the Toshiba disks to f_asym_lsi, flashing the latest as well as old firmware in the cards, reseating them to other PCI-e slots, removing one cable and even removing one whole HBA, unloading the eft fmd module etc, but nothing helped so far and I'm sort of out of ideas. Anybody else got an idea on what I might try?
