Creation of several vport could take minutes. The iocb called from qla24xx_modify_vp_config sometimes take 20 seconds to returns. So creation for let's say 60 vports sometimes can take really fast (25 seconds), and in other times 10 to 20 minutes. It seems as a firmware issue, does anybody notice it ? is there any solution for it ? Thanks, Gal.
