Greetings
We have a ES40 at 5.1 and patchkit3 , the server is connected
with Fiber Channel { HSG80 and KGPSA } using a Fiber HUB. The sever is
running oracle 8.1.7.1 , now the problem is we are getting advfs I/O
errors on the system time to time, and at times corrupts the data.

Aug 28 07:51:26 pwarehouse14 vmunix: I/O error appears to be due to
a hardware problem.
Aug 28 07:51:26 pwarehouse14 vmunix: Check the binary error log for
details.
Aug 28 07:51:26 pwarehouse14 vmunix: To obtain the name of the file
on which
Aug 28 07:51:26 pwarehouse14 vmunix: the error occurred, type the
command:
Aug 28 07:51:26 pwarehouse14 vmunix: /sbin/advfs/tag2name
/db/db014/.tags/9
when u see using dec event we see command time out errors. We have
replaced the KGPSA { HBA } also , the errors are not particular to one
drive or one file system, everytime errors are on different filesystems
and different drives so that rules out possibilty that HSG80 can be bad
and we have replaced KGPSA. Has anyone seen such problem with oracle,
and what was the solution to it. We upgraded the oracle version from
8.0.6.3 to 8.1.7.1 last week.
