Inaccessible VMs in VMware Cluster

[Idgar]

Hi,

I'm encountering problems with inaccessible VMs,

I don't know what cause this, didn't find any special root cause or some resource causing this.

the cluster has hosts with version ESXi5.1.0 1021289. (21 hosts)

VC version is 5.1.0 947673.

Also using NFS Datastores.

I see that all of the inaccessible VMs connected to network "none(inactive)"

For now the only thing that works is to put the hosts in maintenance mode and exit maintenance mode (one by one), guess that unregistering VMs and registering helps.

Does somebody knows if there is known issue with that?

Thanks.

It happens due to hosts loosing connectivity NFS datastore for a certain duration of time.

Check this blog out. It says how to fix the issue you are facing.

The blog also says that this issues is fixed with 5.1U1.. wonder if thats true.

Looks like they didn't. If its not fixed you could always open a SR with VMware. they will tell you what to do.
