I have three esxi hosts running on some Dell R640s all the same config and all three hang (have not timed it but at least 5-10mins) at the nfs41client page, I've searched and can't find anything that stands out but am unsure why it would take so long.
We only have iSCSI storage no nfs at all.
Not a single person?
Try 6.5 and see if it still hangs. Otherwise, open an SR to investigate.
I can't just toss 6.5 on a production server, and that's not really a solution, I'm more seeking answers to see why it hangs for so long, I know I can open a SR, am more curious what the board has to say about it.
We are experiencing the same issue - how did you go with resolving?
Cheers
Do you use RDM disks connected to your ESXi?
If answer is yes you should change flag perennially-reserved to true.
