Hi,
I have seen various other similar examples but so far not a solution for the problem I have.
I have several servers all connected to a distributed switch. Normally they seem to work ok and do vmotions etc... without problems.
In order to ensure a consistant configuration, all my ip addresses, switches, interfaces, vmk are the same number on each server
My vmotion vmk is vmk3 on every server and has a vlan id of say 123 again on every server.
The uplinks are again the same on every server ie vmnic0 is dvuplink1 on each server etc...
vmotions have and do work but occasionally they fail at the 9% mark with the error
If I then SSH onto the servers I can ping the local vmotion vmk ie if on .11 I can ping .11 but can't ping .15 and vice versa. If I delete the vmk from the server and recreate it with the exact same details it starts working again and then at some point in the future may fail in the same way.
We are running 5.0 u1 on each server, all built from same iso.
