Cannot reproduce this issue with "Emulex LPe12002-M8".
It's firmware version is :
1.11A5 (U3D1.11A5), sli-3

Kernel version: 2.6.32-71.el6.x86_64
Reboot 5 times, no lpfc kernel panic came out.

Do we need a large SAN environment to reproduce this issue?

I added 20 more SAN disks to the configuration and did a one hour reboot cycle for the system.
