Re: [Xen-users] Gplpv drivers make reset raid controller

[Stephan Seitz <s.seitz@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

that sound's really strange, as there's obviously no "connection" between your domU
and your controller.
I've seen similar errors with ARC18xx but - to be honest - by using Nexenta (SunOS fork)
under heavy load.
It's more a feeling than knowledge, but I would expect some potential problem inside
your dom0 which panics out on *some* workload. I'ld expect your W2k8 is only *one*
trigger.
I'ld check
- for latest Firmware on your controller (currently 1.50  / 150-20120216),
- bios settings (maybe start over with system defaults plus CPU Virtualizationflag)
and as a last option: an oldconfig vanilla 3.4.3 dom0 kernel.

Hope this helps.

Good luck!
