multipath status changed, freebsd fails

[Jay West]

I realize that this may not be a freebsd-xen issue, but not sure where to turn so thought I'd check here first.

We have a pool of about 10 xenservers (v6.5). All the servers are using multipath to connect to multiple nas, and each has multiple paths on different subnets. All seems to work ok, but....

About every 3 or 4 weeks, xencenter will throw an alert... "Multipath status has changed". Further looking in xencenter shows multipath status is AOK. However, a few VM's are down. Recovery is just restarting those VM's.

What is odd - is that every time this occurs, the VM's that failed are always FreeBSD (10.0-Release, most are P9) VM's, none of the windows VMs fail. Are there any known issues with FreeBSD where a blip in multipath status causes the VM to shutdown? I'd think this is a xenserver thing and not a freebsd thing... but thought I'd check. Any advice appreciated!
