      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Greetings,&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am trying to create a VMFS datastore of approximately 1TB in size on one controller in an active/active FAS3240 pair.&amp;nbsp; If I create the iSCSI LUN on one controller, it works fine.&amp;nbsp; On the other it does not and errors out with the error seen in the screenshot below.&amp;nbsp; The odd thing is, I have plenty of direct iSCSI connections to this other controller and everything is fine (from Windows and Linux boxes using software initiators).&amp;nbsp; I actually had this problem with two LUNs that I created today, but one of them inexplicably worked the last time I tried it.&amp;nbsp; I've checked paths, Jumbo Frames end-to-end, VIF configs, QLogic initator configs, etc. and nothing seems to make a difference.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;span class="lia-inline-image-display-wrapper" image-alt="1866087.png"&gt;&lt;img src="https://communities.vmware.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/40498i95F28A67EC9AB948/image-size/large?v=v2&amp;amp;px=999" role="button" title="1866087.png" alt="1866087.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;VMKernel logs from the event are below:&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:41.326Z cpu4:3273)&amp;lt;3&amp;gt;ata1.00: bad CDB len=16, scsi_op=0x9e, max=12&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:41.335Z cpu2:447519)NMP: nmp_ThrottleLogForDevice:2318: Cmd 0x1a (0x41240079d7c0) to dev "mpx.vmhba0:C0:T0:L0" on path "vmhba0:C0:T0:L0" Failed: H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0x5 0x20 0x0.Act:NONE&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:41.335Z cpu2:447519)ScsiDeviceIO: 2316: Cmd(0x41240079d7c0) 0x1a, CmdSN 0x81a74 to dev "mpx.vmhba0:C0:T0:L0" failed H:0x0 D:0x2 P:0x0 Valid sense data: 0x5 0x20 0x0.&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:41.477Z cpu1:3273)&amp;lt;3&amp;gt;ata1.00: bad CDB len=16, scsi_op=0x9e, max=12&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:42.821Z cpu6:3273)&amp;lt;3&amp;gt;ata1.00: bad CDB len=16, scsi_op=0x9e, max=12&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:42.824Z cpu6:3273)&amp;lt;3&amp;gt;ata1.00: bad CDB len=16, scsi_op=0x9e, max=12&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:42.827Z cpu6:3273)&amp;lt;3&amp;gt;ata1.00: bad CDB len=16, scsi_op=0x9e, max=12&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:42.830Z cpu6:3273)&amp;lt;3&amp;gt;ata1.00: bad CDB len=16, scsi_op=0x9e, max=12&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:42.836Z cpu6:3273)FSS: 4333: No FS driver claimed device 'mpx.vmhba0:C0:T0:L0': Not supported&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:42.836Z cpu6:3273)Vol3: 647: Couldn't read volume header from control: Invalid handle&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:42.836Z cpu6:3273)FSS: 4333: No FS driver claimed device 'control': Not supported&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:42.851Z cpu6:3273)FSS: 4333: No FS driver claimed device 'mpx.vmhba32:C0:T0:L0': Not supported&lt;BR /&gt;2011-11-18T20:02:43.557Z cpu6:3273)VC: 394: Number of PEs for volume 470ca539-5df8e7f0-d25f-0019b9eac0a7 changed from 3 to 1.

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I take it you have two controllres in active / active status as you state other luns are running off that controller.&amp;nbsp; I'm also curious to if you failover your primary controller (The one that seems to work) Will those luns fire up properly on the secondary ?&amp;nbsp; Seeing as the new luns are failing.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Possible the iSCSI initiator target in VMware is set to the wrong controller VIF? or IP or got mixed up somehow ? Silly question but figured I'd ask.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
