This could lead to the disk drives becoming unresponsive for several minutes resulting
in the drives being marked failed by the storage system. If disk cages were connected
to multiple ports of the HBA, this could result in multiple drives getting marked failed
leading to virtual volumes getting marked unavailable.
This has been resolved by having the firmware turn off the transmit and receive lasers
when it gets a fatal error thus allowing the drives to detect the link failure immediately
and recover without becoming unresponsive.
