Do you run any software to periodically check the array status?

Or are there any other regular tasks involving 'tw_cli'-calls?

I had this effect while trying to examine the SMART-status of the attached
drives on a 9690-8E, leading to spurious controller resets due to timeouts,
also under high load.

Disabling the task solved the problem, and no further resets occured.
