Hi Konrad,
I discussed your issue with some smart fellows from Mellanox, this is what they had to say about your issue:
- There is a similar internal record for such issue. also discussed by communities. The issue had to do with SRP host receiving SCSI errors status (0x18) with read/write commands and 0x2 (check condition) for reports LUN commands.
The target also slows down on some of the LUNs resulting with SRP host aborts and vmkernel reported it with error “H:0x5D:0x0 P:0x0” (H:0x5 is SG_ERR_DID_ABORT)
That specific user also noticed the following errors in the syslog:
2013-12-15T05:46:50.282Z stratus105.api.oktawave.corp vmkwarning: cpu11:4107)WARNING: LinScsi: SCSILinuxQueueCommand:1175:queuecommand failed with status = 0x1056 Unknown status vmhba_mlx4_0.1.1:0:4:8 (driver name: ib_srp) - Message repeated 5956 times
On this particular error, vmware community also report the same issue with different transport SATA due to lun/device BUSY with ESX 5.1 -https://communities.vmware.com/thread/445270
However, the resolution provided is downgrade ESX version to ESX 5.0 U2 which does not help.
Please also looking at this vmsupport link that will explain the “H:0x5 D:0x0 P:0x0” error.
