Hello,

Moved to ESX v3 forum.

I would verify that there are no hardware failures by checking the system itself. Perhaps you lost a NIC?

iso:/soft sounds like a mount point. Did you NFS mount something? If so perhaps the server is gone or the NIC to which the NFS server is connected went bad, etc.
