As a side note we tried this as a physical server same problem, and decided to try it as a VM appliance and still get problems

I have logged a support call as we have similar issues on our production servers that use open-e for Fibre Channel Luns this is the Ticket Number (Ticket#1028763), basically when transferring large VMDK files the ESX 4 Cluster servers lose connections to the open-e LUN, even when I have stop volume replication. We have fitted LSI cards and made the settings suggested but no good.

We have Tried Dell, HP hardware the Fibre Channels Cards are Qlogic 2462 we have tried these straight through and also using brocade silkworm switches but still the same. Have tested with a different storage product and it works ok.

I know there used to be a problem with virtual iron and open-e disconnecting on heavy load so maybe this is a similar issue. We are thinking of getting in two new test servers Dell R710, 64GB Memory, Dual CPU x 4 Core and 8GB Fibre to setup one as Esx and one as open-e with a point to point fibre connection to see it that works but really our existing setup should work.
