ss_perform_timeout error



This system has been running on osf5.1 for several years but started having ss_perform_timeout issues fairly recently. We have replaced all associated hardware and cables (cpu, disk cabinet, cabinet disks, power cords, scsi cables & controllers) except for the original boot drive but the problem still persists almost on daily basis. Any help to solving this issue is greatly appreciated.

here's the binary log event :
