Slow Solaris , very strange

hi all

we have new hosts ( solaris 10 sparc with 2 hba Emulex-LPe11000)

all drivers and patches on EMC recommended level)

solaris hosts take 3 hours to reboot if hba connected , but if i disconnect hba solaris reboot normally

format command on sloaris take long time display the disk,   mount  take time also although disk size less than 50GB

if disconnect hba2 which is connected to fabric 2 , solaris work fine , mount ,  fromat , reboot take normal time

hba1 and hba2 swapped , and still disconnect hba connect to fabric 2 solve the problem , ( swapping HBA to make sure both hba is ok)

so if hosts connected to both fabric i have problem . if connect only to fabric 1 then no problem , if connected to fabric 2 only then i have problem.

this issue on 2 hosts same hardware and os configuration

This host connected to 8 FA ports on VMAX  ,

are you using PowerPath ? Are FA parameters Solaris "friendly" ?

if hba2 connected and zoned to dir 5F1,6F1,7F1,8 F1 , then it will take long time

but if hba2 connected and zoned to dir 6F1,7F1,8F1m then it will work ok
