Hi!
I have esxi 5.5.0 6480324 on HP Dl180 G6. The server has been working for the last 6 months without problems, but last week i can't update hardware status of some sensors. When try to update there is no erros in vsphere client.
in syslog.log have errors of this kinde:
2018-07-20T13:26:13Z sfcb-vmware_base[337575]: TIMEOUT DOING SHARED SOCKET RECV RESULT (337575)
2018-07-20T13:26:13Z sfcb-vmware_base[337575]: Timeout (or other socket error) waiting for response from provider
2018-07-20T13:26:13Z sfcb-vmware_base[337575]: Header Id (113395) Request to provider 474 in process 3 failed. Error:Timeout (or other socket error) waiting for response from provider
2018-07-20T13:26:13Z sfcb-vmware_base[337575]: Dropped response operation details -- nameSpace: root/cimv2, className: VMware_Controller, Type: 0
Error resolves temporarily by restarting host, but then it reoccurs.
Trying to restart sfcdb does not yield results.
Can you share the below details?
1) Share the output from the command - <grep -i "Dropped response operation details" syslog.log> as soon as the 'Sensors Update' is performed.
2) Around the same time, do we see any heap related errors in the vmkernel.log?
Cheers,
Supreet
