Tools 10.3.5 and LSI_SAS timeout in guest

Hey all.  I upgraded all my tools to the version above and using Starwind virtual vSAN and noticed that other guest vm's were freezing up due to the LSI SAS driver on the starwind vms providing the storage to the cluster.  I found the below KB stating the issue should have been fixed but obviously it has not, so i rolled back tools on the vsan vm's to 10.2.1 and that seems to be working for the time being.  Has anyone else come across this before I open a ticket with GSS?

Is this not more of an LSI driver issue then a Tools? What version of the SAS driver are you on?

Hi,

I am also using Strawind vsan, but haven’t noticed such issue with Tools 10.3.2 (LSI driver 1.34.3.83)

VMware has already released 10.3.10 – you can try either 10.3.2 or 10.3.10 and check the LSI driver version too.

P.S. I think you can also ask Starwind support, they really do a good job.
