I read a few posts with statements to this affect "Make sure you do NOT have the VM Tools "File Sync Driver" installed - it will eventually break your database!". I haven't read an explanation of why this is or how dire it is. It seems like if this is a major problem, it would be noted somewhere in VMwares VCB or ESX documentation. I haven't found anything. Can someone provide more detail?
Also, our environment consists of the latest ESX 3.5 builds, latest Virtual Center build, and the latest VCB build. How does the VSS support in VMware tools affect the statement above? If I have the VSS support enabled, do I need to modify VMware tools to uninstall the "File Sync Driver"? I'd rather not have a different installation of VMware Tools on database severs.
Lastly, with only the "File Sync Driver" installed, that statement would lead me to believe an Active Directory DB would be in equal danger?
