Hello Everyone.

Here is my situation. I have a poweredge 2850 and a powervault 22os attached to it as well. the server has 6 gigabit nic cards, 16 g's of memory, and is a 2 quad core processors.

Yesterday about 3:00pm all my thin clients went down. I tried to restart the virtual machines and the host and it would be to about 95% then it would say request timed out. I would have to restart the server and the storage device just to get it working about this has happened twice in the past week. It need happened before. just trying to get input if its a esx problem, server problem, storage problem, or switch/network connectivity problem.

I've had similar issue when storage was a problem. That's where I would look first.

I've had similar issues with FC SAN with different array types.

We did not have that luxury. These are big arrays. We had to verify all connectivity back to the array. Fix paths as needed, balance ports on the array, as needed.
