Strange Issues with one vSphere host

Hi

I am facing a major issue. I have 2 ESXi hosts not in cluster. The 1st host has 2 datastores: local and iSCSI. The 2nd host has a local one. The 1st host server is VMWare compatible while the 2nd one is not.

I have tried using VEEAM backup and VMWare DataRecovery on both servers. The 2nd server backups run perfectly well. But for the 1st server all backups fail with the foll error:

"VDDK error: 14009.The server refused connection"

I have tried almost everypossible tshooting step. VEEAM even did a Webex. I need help trying to find out whether this is a VMWare issue or something else. Please help in the same. Thanks.

As you have mentioned that on the 2nd host, backup runs perfectly and only on the first host there is a issue.. If this is a VMware issue, back up shouldnt happen in the 2nd host also..

What is the version of ESXI your using.

Check the firewall ports are open in host 1 same as host 2 if there is a firewall.

Check if ssh is enabled in esxi 1 same as esxi 2.

Both servers have esxi 5.0 build 498960. The firewall is disabled in host1 and SSH is running in Host1. Surprisingly I am able to download smaller files but with the VMDK files on host 1, I get "Storage i/o error" when i try to download via the datastore browser (VEEAM had asked me to do this check).

Any clues?
