    Interesting: I've noticed dropouts in my lab with iSCSI targets (FreeNAS) since upgrading to 5.5 U1 – not done any real investigating as yet, but it may be related. All was fine on 5.5 GA, and I don't see these dropouts (usually only 3-8 pings worth, but enough to cause concern) when using local storage. Don't have NFS to test with I'm afraid 🙂

    Interesting: Probabily not related but when upgrading my small environment I shutdown a bunch of servers including my NTP server like I always do to conserve memory in my small cluster. Anyway the NFS started being flaky and not connecting reliably, then finally not connecting at all for day. Turnes out it was a time sync issue, and my hosts were just far enough off to matter. I didn't think NFSv3 would fail just because of time issues, but on ESXi v5.5 it does.

    FYI, my storage at this point was on SmartOS:ZFS using a global zone NFS mount, but another unrelated hardware NAS unit and a virtual Nexenta NAS also failed to mount NFS on ESXi 5.5 ( but iSCSI worked )

    I have to say that we have recently updated multiple sites to 5.5u1 and are using NFS with NetApp at all of them and we only had this problem at 1 site. The symptoms were exactly the same as the ones referenced in the KB with NetApp in Nick's article. This was only affecting attaching to one of our filers while the second one had no issues. The site that had the issue is a busier site and even though we are running a version of OnTAP that is bug fixed when I changed the queue length on the hosts and rebooted the issues stopped. So even though it is affecting multiple storage vendors kind of wondering if it could be near the same issue. Now another thing could be is that only the site affected has been upgraded to 10GB and JF so far.
