Symptoms

This was received from CISCO.  This was an issue for everyone when they went to 8 Gig (not an issue just would receive messages in the logs as a disconnect and reconnect).

The HP LTO6 drives were connected to the Cisco switch via a 4Gb blade.  Device ONLY disappeared from the host, then reappear.  Seen in VAR MESSAGE FILE in the Host Software.

Customer example of problem:
