Filesystem structure on disk is corrupt. What to check on SAN volumes?
Few SAN volumes show up as corrupt . with the errors "the filesystem structure on disk is corrupt and unstable"
The OS team is insisting that it is a SAN LUN issue. but I cant find anything
Luns are on a new thin pool on VNX, allocated via VPLEX. Is there anything on the SAN side, that might cause these issues on a Windows 2003 box?

Log a call with EMC to check. Did you get any soft scsi error on the box ?

Hi
What version of GeoSynchrony are you running
What version of Windows 2003 are you running
From the support Matrix
GeoSynchrony 5.0 - 5.4.x supports Windows 2003 Microsoft Windows 2003 SP2/ R2 SP2
With the following amendments
Starting with GeoSynchrony 5.3, some of these OS versions are EOL and no longer qualified. Therefore, before upgrading to GeoSynchrony 5.3 or later, the customer must upgrade the OS to a newer, supported version.
GeoSynchrony 5.5 and above
Only support Windows Operating systems are Windows 2008 and Windows 2012 (check support matrix for whihc flavours are supported)
Also are you running Power Path or native MPIO
I'm not saying this is the route of your issue but its something to check
Regards
T.

a very strange one. we replaced the switches and these were windows 2003 servers, which didn't work with the new SFPs on the switches. we replaced the SFPs with the one of our old switches, which doesn't have 16 g in it, (max 8) and it resolved itself
