I am having the same problems.  Accessing an EMC Clariion results in constant "Abort" messages and extremely slow access:

Comment 2 dtaniguchi 2010-11-09 06:57:21 UTC
I have same problem on Red Hat EL 5.3.
"Abort" message appears in /var/log/messages several times.

qdiskd says:
 qdiskd[4043]: <warning> qdisk cycle took more than 1 second to complete (61.000000)

And RHCS evicted active node.

Interested to see what is logged just before "qla2xxx scsi Abort command issued" after you enable the qlogic extended error logging...

First off, than you for offer some help.  We have had no help from Dell and QLogic won't talk to us since the cards came with a system from Dell (they told us to talk to Dell, which is the only reason we are talking with them). We didn't even know about the "extended logging" (and obviously neither have the folks at Dell we are talking to since they didn't suggest we turn this on).

Here is the extended logging after starting a format/write of a 10GB file.  I notice all of the dropped frames and underrun errors?  What do they mean?

Hello Zoltan, a key point here is the "qla2xxx Abort command issued" is not an error.  It is a status message indicating that the driver aborted a command at the kernels request (some upper level service) ~or~ in response to a fabric or end storage device status received.

Each person who has said "me too" to this bugzilla likley has a different root cause.

Yours: Dropped frames, firmware reported underrun.

After verifying the qlogic driver and firmware versions match that required by your storage vendor, update if needed, I would start troubleshooting the hardware.

- FC-CABLE (make sure it is not looped too tight), swap with another.
- GBIC.
- FC-SWITCH port, check for errors, switch to alternate port.
- FC-HBA, replace.

If this is a blade, check enclosure interface to FC.

James,

Again, thanks so much for your efforts to help.

I apologize for not giving details on what troubleshooting we have already tried. We have a very skilled staff - by the time we put out any request for help, we have gone pretty far testing things ourselves.

HBA -  This box came with 3-QlA2462 (planned to use 2-for tape and 1-for disk - currently not enough switch ports to use all 3).  So, we switched the disk connections to the unused HBA - no difference.  Errors and slooow SAN disk access still the same.  We also first tried switching the HBA connections/cables - same thing.

The switches are CISCO.  We ran all reports (show techsupport) with no sign of any errors, either from the switch port or cable.

As for the QLogic drivers/firmware, the QLogic SANsurfer cli (scli) shows all firmware levels are at their latest on both servers (more on this, shortly).  We also checked the Linux kernel level, filesystem format (ext4), etc.

My SAN guy also tried force/switching what paths/switches are used.  Also no difference.  With no signs of any errors from the switches, I don't think he has tried switching GBIC's.  Same for cable.  All lights are good and we don't see any error counts.  I will suggest we try replacing both, especially since nothing else we have tried has made any difference.

This server is one of two identically configured boxes purchased at the same time.  Their serial numbers are basically 1-digit difference.  The other box is running flawlessly, as for the SAN storage.  It also has a 5.3TB SAN filesystem (separately zones - no sharing) .  Firmware/kernel/drivers are the same on both.

One other point of interest is the SANsurfer software.  I installed it on both machines to do comparisons.  The GUI version will not run on the machine with the problems. When launched, it gives some kind of error related to networking/connections (sorry, I don't have the details/exact message).  Multiple un/reinstalls did not fix it and again we can't find any info on how to fix it.  

Not sure if this means anything but I thought I would mention it anyway.  I did IBM z/OS software maintenance and troubleshooting for 25+ years and have seen how seemingly unrelated issues/errors/messages are often linked.

Comment 7 Zoltan Forray 2010-12-02 14:28:10 UTC
An update.

Just for the ha-ha's, we swapped out both fibre cables. Then I ran a 10GB format. No errors on the logs and it ran pretty quickly.

Not believing we had 2-bad cables, we switched back to the original cables and ran another format.  Still no errors.

While the possibility of a fleck of dust on one of the cables (remember, we forcefully pushed the switch/SAN to use the secondary interface/connection and switched HBA's with no change), I did not think this fixed it.

So, I ran a 300GB format of a volume in the SAN space.  It ran 4-hours with no errors logged.  This time is not acceptable for performance.

I went to the other, identical system (both purchased and installed at the same time and setup the same way with both having 5.3TB of SAN space) and formatted a 300GB volume.   This format ran 1-hour.

As far as I am concerned, whatever we did with the cable switching/rebooting has stopped the reporting of errors/problems but the problem still exists.

We are continuing to dig through configs/logs to see if we can figure out what is going on.

Hi,Sirs

We also encountered such errors.

OS:Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
Applications: Oracle RAC

On RAC node 1, the I/O(especially write) turned very slowly, It took 3~18 minutes to write the DB redo logs to archive log files, normally only need several seconds.The average I/O wait was 30 times of normal one.

After OS reboot, the failure disappeared


The logs was regestered as below.

The vendor checked the server and storage, but no failure found.

So is this a OS bug?

HPAK344A FW:v5.03.16 DVR:v8.03.07.03.05.07-k

These are HP branded QLogic adapters.
We are not having any performance issues nor do we think it's hw related (hba, cable, etc) since these messages appear on all boxes and are located in different data centers with different san hw, storages, zones etc etc.

Let me know if you need more info!

Cheers

Anecdotal evidence indicated a HBA firmware update resolved this for one of our customers.
Closing this as NOTABUG. However, if you are still experiencing this issue, please open a case with Red Hat Support via the Customer Portal.
