Hi,
We encounter an error with one of our VMware ESXi (6.0.0) since few weeks.
Sometimes (it happened twice in 2 weeks), all VMs become innaccessible.
When we connect to the ESX using vsphere client, we notice that all VMs are grayed out.
When we try to access datastore by Configuration --> Storage, the window freeze on loading status.
The only way to "solve" this issue, was to reboot the ESXi server (not so good with production VMs on it...).
Our first idea was that the issue was caused by storage.
We've run RAID tests with the provider which hosts our server and everything seems to be OK.
The provider told us that it should be a software issue.
In vmkernel.log, we find a lot of messages as the following:

Thanks for your help.
