Hello,
I wanted to follow up to report that I did get the problem resolved, and it was an issue with the Dell blade hardware. Once I updated my NICs and switches, the problem went away.
Additionally, I eventlayy had a 10 Gig M8024k go bad on me - Bad ports that wouldn't light. Dell replaced under warranty.
While there is not a correct answer for this, I will award do the only fellow who bothered to try and help. :-)
