I am not sure if you will read this because your post is over a year hold; however, I want to give it a try. In your case of the Multiple PSOD’s, do you know what was on the PSOD itself? I recently experienced an issue with multiple PSODS at the same time on the same cluster. This cluster had been fully functional for over a year and we have never had any issues. Our Cluster has both CLARiiON and HDS LUNS; therefore, our systems seem similar.

Let me know if you have as screen capture of your PSOD..

As the VMware engineer explained, when ESX gets a response it doesn't know how to handle, it can't just do anything with it. The only proper action is to exit the building.
