Sorry for the delayed response. I adressed this issue with Novell
and IBM. It turned out out to be a bug in the firmware of the
FC adapters. Upgrading the firmware from version 2.50A6 to 2.82A3
did fix it. Just in case sombody else has the same issue: the
adapters are Emulex P/N 42C2069.

Thanks,
Thomas
