Hmm, sounds like some issue with the iscsi adapter on vmware?

This article isn't directly applicable, but the configuration discussion 
might give some pointers on what you can check?

You would be convinced it's network related, but nothing shows up obviously wrong in the switch logs and obviously the OpenIndiana iSCSI initiators (two of which are guest OSs on the VMware cluster!) aren't affected at all.  You get a bizarre situation where VMware is complaining about iSCSI going up and down, yet the VMs themselves don't register any problems whatsoever.
