Hi Guys
I keep getting the above mentioned alarm once in a while and I haven't been able to find the problem. I've replaced network cables and checked in Vcentre everything looks fine.
Twice now over the past few weeks I've lost access to the VMs on the server but not all of them only some of them. Then as soon as I migrate them to another host all is working again.
Any where I can start looking?
I have 5x ESXI 5.1 servers running.
Compellent storage
Dell R710 servers.

If you have configured a cluster with a HA/DRS, then the agent requires that the Management portgroup should be having 2 uplinks in case of any 1 nic failure. If you have provided 2 nics, and still you are getting this error, then you need to check in the vmkernel logs of the host to see if the nic has gone any auto-negate process.

I do believe if your VMs are in the same vswitch as your management portgroup. Can you move your VMs to a different vSwitch to eliminate the vmnic probability?
Thanks zXi-Gamer I will check the logs.
My Management and VM portgroups are both in their own Vswitch.
Can you check the logs at the time of this alarm?
cat /var/log/messages | grep -i link
tail -fv /var/log/messages | grep -i link

Hi,
I suggest to provide more information about your config.
Hi,
I think you should check your load balancing settings. If you are doing iscsi port binding don't forget that the native loadbalancing technics are not all compatible with your storage array so put it to fixed to be sure and test active/passive configuration with nics in different order.
Regards
