If the vMotion is initated by DRS disable the vMotion for the Virtual machine for the time-being.

Steps to disable vMotion for a virtual machine in a DRS enabled cluster are

Right Click on your cluster and then click on "edit settings"

Under DRS, click on "Virtual Machine Options"

Locate the particular VM and the drop down box under "Automation Level"

Change "Default (Fully Automated)" to "Manual"

After changing the automation level to manual vMotion would not happen unless someone manually triggers it.

There have been issues virtual machine going off network due to vMotion but only assumptions can be made until we find the cause of the issue and this would be great place to start
