Hi everyone,
Heres a strange issue - we're looking at veeam for backups. We're running veeam in the virtual appliance mode since the environment is NFS.
Sometimes (not all the time) after a vcenter initiated snapshot is made and removed as part of the backup process the ESX 4.0 U1 host will disconnect from vcenter and will then take 5-10 minutes to reconnect. This doesn't cause a HA event and all services remain normal during the disconnected status.
When this happens the removal of the snap does not seem to complete and I have to do it manually; any other virtual machines on that host cannot be contacted by veeam until the ESX host reconnects and so those backups fail too.
Has anyone ran into this issue?
