Just upgraded one of our 5 hosts from 6.5 to 7.0.3. Everything went smooth but am noticing every 5 minutes, a series of tasks repeat on the newly upgraded host. Basically, the SSH access service starts, then it stops right way, followed by opening firewall ports. This repeats twice, every 5 minutes. The repeated events are below. So far everything is acting correctly, I can vMotion servers back to the newly upgraded host and VMs are running just fine. Just annoying to see the Recent Tasks area in vSphere fill up with these alerts.
