Odd. With Linux (in this case CentOS), the guest will mark the failed disk as read-only when it's scsi drivers times out usually 2ish times. In older versions of Linux, this was a moderately short time (2 minutes) but a lot of vendors upped this timer because VM I/O doesn't easily match up against traditional disk drivers. The last time we ran into this failure, the NFS was unavailable for the VMDK files for literally 5 minutes. Our debian installs obviously timed out and marked their volumes as read only and we had to reset servers once NFS was back up.
20 seconds should be way to short a time for a VMWare guest to mark a volume as read-only. " target="_blank">The issue here if you didn't see this already.
What version of BigIP are you on as CentOS is of course a RHEL derived?
