My findings from the log files you provided- veem snapshot consolidation jobs is freezing the VM, refer to the following screenshot. You are running ESXi 5.0 version and there is a hotfix available to resolve this issue- Permanent fix- Install hotfix VMware ESXi 5.0, Patch Release ESXi500-201408001 (2080838) Description of the known issue- This issue occurs if the virtual machine generates data faster than the consolidate rate You can also workaround until you patch the VMhosts Shut down the virtual machine. Right-click the virtual machine and click Edit Settings. Click the Options tab. Under Advanced, click General. Click Configuration Parameters and add these parameters one at a time and check the result: Set snapshot.maxIterations to 20 (or higher). The default value is 10. If you cannot converge within default maxIteration (10), you just stun and perform synchronous consolidation, which may cause the virtual machine to be stunned for a long time. If you increase maxIterations to 20 or higher, then it is possible that the virtual machine will find a period within the maxIterations to perform synchronous consolidate. Change the snapshot.maxConsolidateTime to 60 seconds. The default value is 6 seconds. If you set the value to 60 seconds, the consolidate helper sees an opportunity to do the synchronous consolidate earlier (before the snapshot grows to a 30 minute issue after 10 iterations). Setting snapshot.maxConsolidateTime to 60 means that you can afford to have the virtual machine stunned for 60 seconds so the virtual machine can perform synchronous consolidate within the iterations. Note: There is a coefficient of 2 on maxConsolidateTime. A value of 60=120 seconds. The default is 6 but that stuns for 12 seconds. Set snapshot.maxIterations to 0. Setting snapshot.maxIterations to 0 causes the virtual machine to stun and perform synchronous consolidate in the first iteration only. This may reduce the stun time.
