Hi
I am having some issues with my new implementation of vSphere 5, this is my enviroment:
1.- I have 3 Host with ESXi 5.0 update 1. BL465 G7 (ROM Firmware A19 03/19/2012, ILO3 Firmware 1.28 Jan 13 2012)
2.- I have 1 P6300. (last firmware)
3.- I have 2 Switches Brocade 4/12. (Firmware v5.3.0a)
4.- Other server BL465 G1 and BL685 G1 (Windows 2003).
The problem is when I reboot one ESXi server it takes a long time to boot or when I do a disk rescan. I notice that the boot screen shows this messages for about 15 min each one:
vmw_satp_alva loaded successully
vmkibft oaded successfully
vmf3 loaded successfully
and if I look at the vmkernel log I see these messages:

The message repeats for every RDM disk I have.
I think that this issue has to be with the SAN Switches, maybe I should update the firmware o maybe I have grong another configuration.
Could some one help me please?
Thanks.
