Recently we got an escalation from the field on AIX in which we saw that gab paniced the node because it got a packet with a wrong sequence number. On further debugging we found that everything was correct except that 1 bit in the gab sequence number was flipped from 0 to 1 thus causing gab to panic the node since it suspected data corruption.

If you have LLT working over the ce driver on Solaris, one small change that you can make to help performance problems in your cluster would be the following:

set ce:ce_taskq_disable=1
set ce:ce_reclaim_pending=1

A reboot is required.
