are these warnings/errors in vmkernel.log anything to be concerned about?

Hello,

I've installed ESXi 6.7 on a few test hosts in my cluster and I'm seeing errors in the vmkernel log that I'm not sure if they are a cause for concern or not. Was wondering if anyone has any info...

I see the following errors repeated every hour. The hosts on 6.5 don't seem to have this error.

Can you share one vmkernel.log file? Need to check what events are being reported before and after the above errors. Also, run the below commands for one HBA and vmnic each and share the output -

vmkchdev -l | grep -i vmhbaX

vmkchdev -l | grep -i vmnicX

Cheers,

Supreet
