-Solution: Stop the server, update the firmware of the QLogic cards,
-then start the server.  The exact failure reason is unknown but it is
-possible that the QLogic cards firmware becomes incompatible with that
-of the SAN, which is always kept up to date.
+Solution: This is indicative of a device failure part of the backing
+devices of the SAN (Storage Area Network) array.  Ensure multipath is
+in used to mount the SAN (TBD), which adds resiliency to this problem,
+and report the problem to Ricardo Wurmus/the SIMB infrastructure
+department.
