Gets me closer, yes.

You have:

RX4640s, which are single-attached to a SAN with an EVA6000 by QLogic 
cards. Therefore, you're not doing failover between any HBAs - correct?

I'm assuming that any single LUN presented by the EVA is seen twice by 
the HBAs (at some level, but the driver-provided multipathing might hide 
it) - correct?

You have (presumably) set up the LUNs as raw devices (ie not block) to 
allow ASM to interact correctly with them - correct?

You've set the "Host type" of the RX boxes to be "Linux" from within 
Command View - correct? (yes, basic, I know ;-) )

Can you also try presenting another LUN to these systems, leaving it 
unmanaged by ASM (e.g, create a filesystem on it, mount it), to see if 
it remains accessible after ASM falls over?
