One of my vm was migrated from host a (esx 3.5) to host b (esx 3.5). When I checked the vm's (RHEL5 32 bit) message log, all the services seemed to have been restart without the vm having been powerrd off, restarted, shut down or lost power. I have not seen this before... what caused this and how could it be prevented.
The is from the esx side:
DRS migrated studyabroad from esx-7sc to esx-6sc in cluster CLS Cluster in X
