PSOD ESXi build 1892794 Dell R720 Qlogic QLE4062C Equalogic SANs 4100 and 6100

I have a new host and its the only one of 4 that PSOD, this PSOD will happen after a day or a few days of running fine. The server is new, the load is new, I've updated everything to the latest firmware in hopes to correct this issue. I use the same QLE4062c cards in all the servers conencted to the same Cisco switches to the same 2 SAN units.

I've tried the direct vmware latest download of ESXi 5.5 and patched to latest. I've tried the Dell specific build and patched to the latest. I've also Updated the SANs firmware to the latest 7.0.5.

All of the updates were made to try and correct the PSOD. I"ve loaded..reloaded and still its not working correctly. There is some setting somewhere I don't know about and its getting hung up enough to crash the system

Thoughts?

I'm seeing similar issues, though my PSOD details are slightly different. There's a KB article which you've probably seen (http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2000091) although that's not supposed to be relevant to ESXi v5.5. Did you upgrade your host, or clean install 5.5? When I check my host (running v5.5, build 1892794) the Advanced parameter vmkernel.boot.usePCC isn't shown so can't be set (or verified).

PSOD is still there after firming up the server to 2.2.3, I"ve got cases open with Dell and VMware. I'll share what I find
