I'll have to have a look, but the thing is that we were seeing these datastore drops while at the same time we were running pings showing no dropped packets and no significant network latency.  If it was an LACP issue (ports dropping etc.) causing iSCSI issues, wouldn't we see dropped packets at the same time?

Thanks,
