VMware HCL says that the firmware compatible is
11000000 but not 11001000 yet.
resolution:
The problem turns out to be caused by an old iSCSI firmware
module. This seems to be incompatible with the latest firmware XCS
11001000.
Original version for iSCSI module was
3_2_2_6
New version is 3_2_2_9
Disable the VAAI from ESX(i) host and svmotion will work. upgrade the iscsi module, then enable the VAAI option again and the svmotion will still work.
