Overloaded EVA configurations Under conditions where multiple servers are overloading an EVA, the boot or reboot of one of the servers may time-out. If the combined delayed access to EVA LUNs takes more than 10 minutes, the boot does not complete. To avoid this situation, restart the boot process and reduce the load to the EVA. WARNING! Persistent EVA overload may indicate an overloaded configuration and additional array host port resources may be required to match the configuration to the actual workload.
