Windows 2008 VM losing connectivity

[Rohail2004]

One of my VM which is running 2008, R2 is keep losing it's connectivity. It is running under vSphere, Update 1. Everything looks good at the ESX networking level, but I can't find the culprit. Anyone have any ideas? the VM is running SQL 2008 database as well.

Any more info, what kind of NIC did you use for the VM ?

Is there anything in the guest's eventlogs ?

Anythning in the vCenter events ? The vpxd log ?

The NIC which was created by default upon creating on that VM.

I am only seeing the below error in vcenter log.

"App'] Update for property timestamp failed"

You could try the advise from .

But I don't think that has anything to do with your guest loosing it's connection intermittently.

Thread moved since it is not really PowerCLI related.

there is also a known issue with the VMXNET3 adapter losing it's gateway configuration. You may try, if you are not using, the E1000 adapter. Or upgrade to U2, where the issue is addressed.
