Doesn't work
ESXi 5.1
HBA (LSI 9211-8i IT /IBM M1015) > 1x SAS2 100GB SSD
After a few hours of heavy HD load i get:
– Device or filesystem with identifier ['all drives'] has entered the All Paths Down state.
– ESXi retries but loses connectivity to the SAS drive, marks it as "dead or error"
– reboot fixes the issue
How can i fix this issue?

Update the ESXis LSI 9211-8i driver. VMWare is shipping v.10 and we are at v.14. This update resolved a lot of issues for me.
