Tweet Storage Performance and Timeout Issues Posted on April 10, 2012 by Rick Blythe Here's our second log deep-dive from Nathan Small scsi reservation conflict vmware (Twitter handle: vSphereStorage). If you missed the first one, here it is. reservation state on device is unknown. History of the issue General storage performance issue while experiencing timeouts and SCSI reservation issues (Timeout/conflict) on what is scsi reservation ESX 4.1 (VMware View) and ESX 5.0 environments. Need to determine why these events are being seen and how we can improve performance.The first step when troubleshooting this type scsi reservation conflict linux of issue is to take a frame of reference that is visible across all hosts. Here is the issue observed on one of the ESX 4.1 host:ESXi 4.1:Mar 28 17:12:58 vmkernel: 34:11:37:08.013 cpu13:4262)NMP: nmp_PathDetermineFailure: SCSI cmd RESERVE failed on path vmhba1:C0:T2:L1, reservation state on device naa.60060480000190100554533032324644 is unknown.Mar 28 17:12:58 vmkernel: 34:11:37:08.013 cpu13:4262)ScsiDeviceIO: 1688: Command 0x16 to
