Application servers disconnect after database server is Vmotion

[MJJDM]

We have a legal application called Relativity that consists of an application and database tier. If the database server is vmotion by DRS the application tier loses connectivity right away and does not recover. Has anyone found a way to address this without hair pinning the database server to a specific host? Thanks.

Welcome to the Community,

it's hard to say what could be causing this without knowing internals,. i.e. how the application connects to the database, and how fault tolerant it is designed.

IMO the only one who may be able to help, is the vendor/developer itself. Do you know whether they explicitly support (or do not support) virtualization?
