What an unfortunate fix :(
I'd very much like to use TOE on my 10gig VIF, does anyone know if this is ever going to be supported, or is there an architectual reason why it won't work?

I have a call open with netapp about this however I thought I would ask the list if anyone else has had similar issues.
We have a cluster which is connected to our core via TOE-10G Ethernet (T320E-XFP). The problem we see is that the sometimes the netapp appears stop receiving any packets. I haven't done a packet trace while the problem is in effect as I have been a bit of a Muppet when I have noticed the problem as I had forgotten the rlm user name but I have made notes so next time it happens I will do a trace..
Thanks to Trey Layton, Matt Brown and tmac ( and the other Matt who didn't give a last name ).
- The most important thing to do is to ensure you are running 7.2.5.1
or later as there is a large number of bugs in the "drivers" for the 10G Ethernet card. 2) If you use Xenpacks to connect your system in your switch then there are some interesting potential issues.
We have just upgrade this system from 7.2.4 to 7.2.5.1 and I will post again if we do have anymore issues.
We did have a repeat of the problem running 7.2.5.1 however we have disabled TCP offload and the systems have been running stably for 22/23 days.
