Lots of "Deassert" messages about drives

What's really odd about these messages is I only have FOUR drives. I'm seeing messages about EIGHT drives here and they seem to just repeat through these various messages.

Are these real or could I be mising an update?

I installed a customized ESXi for the Dell R710 from the Dell website.

Thanks in advance

What about checking the logs from the ESXi?

The one to check here would be the vmkernel.log

I looked at the log you suggested.

I do not think I see anything related to the drives. I might not be looking for the right thing. I am not super familiar with Linux and these log messages look like linux/unix.

I can post the log here if it would help.

Well, you have to be used if you want to fix things in ESXi hosts (there are ways to check it from the vCenter but better be to used to).

Anyway, if you didn't find anythign there, check the syslog.log, but there must be something on any of those logs.
