What do you see for status on the datastore? Under storage view? What do you see for Storage Adapter status? Have you installed ioSphere VM and the vCenter Plugin for ioSphere? You can get explicit status of the Fusion-IO device from the ioSphere VM, Fusion-IO provides the VM as canned appliance that can show in great detail what the status of the Fusion-IO device is. However, that same ioSphere CIM/SMI-S provider does not integrate well, I have found with enterprise management frame works. The VM appliance communicates status via electronic mail? No SNMP or CIM event forwarding, so an enterprise monitoring solution like Tivoli or CAUnicenter may not be an easy integration effort. But in your case, you should be able to interactively see if the Fusion-IO device is aging or showing memory errors. Solid State memory has a finite life, or the controller on the PCIe side maybe starting to fail for some reason. We have been testing and plan to do more testing with Fusion-IO devices under 5.0 Update 2 and later, the big issue we have found so far, is the monitoring gap. That is a big issue for us.
