Another serious issue following the upgrade -- we haven't used DRS rules before (prior to upgrade) Now per recommendation from VMware - I started playing with Rules that would group simillar VMs. Within minutes of enabling the rule - the VC service crashed... Nothing changed - just added the rule. Disabling the rule (not deleting - only disable) stopped the crash. Played with the bunch of things - no matter what - only disabling will stop the crash. Anyone has ideas? Did somebody experience it in previous versions? Where should I look? Any pointers are appreciated.
... And any crash produces this type of enty in vpxd log (if other logs are needed - let me know):
