So our ESX admin ran into an issue with 3PAR and DRS moving stuff around. We still haven't full resolved the case yet, but its looking like reservation conflict related. ESX is reporting a 50,000 ms latency for the copy, but the array is reporting 5 - 8 ms. A showeventlog -debug shows a ton of reservation conflicts.
We don't have VASA working, were still working through that, so the copy offloading was attempted and failed because it was moving across T800s, then reverted to a ESX based copy. I suspect the issue will lead to one ESX host doing the move, while a separate ESX host is running the VM, and the 2 are playing tug-of-take-a-turn-war with the SCSI locks.
