After upgrading my vCenter and hosts from 5.5U2 to 5.5 U3, i noticed that browsing some datastore folder was slower than before.
I have 2 ESX hosts and 1 SAN (ISCSI).
When i browse a VM folder executing in ESX-2 it work like before but when i browse a VM folder executing on ESX-1 i have to wait 10-15 sec before file display.
If i disconnect ESX-2, i can normally browse VM folder on ESX-1.
If i stop a VM on ESX-1, i can normally browse this VM folder.
I found these KB :

It seem that vCenter determine a path for retrieving filesytem information on datastore and in my case it always choose ESX-2 even if VM executing in ESX-1.
So when ESX-2 try to retrieving information for a VM running on ESX-1 it see locked file.
I am not remeber of having had this issue with 5.5U2. Is anyone noticed this too ?
I there a way to configure vCenter to querry the host where the VM is running for retrieving datastore filesytem ?
Thank you.
