Hello,
We have a HP DL380 G5 with ESX 3.0.2 installed (soon to be upgraded). We have 4 VM's running that include AD, Exchange.
The server has hardware raid configured. It has 7 disks plus an online spare. It also has an HP MSL4080 Tape Library connected via scsi.
A couple of days back we had a disk failure. The disk has been replaced and all seemed well until we run a backup.
The backup fails at exactly the same byte count and causes the VM to slow down to a poiint where no services are available. Our only way around this is to Power down the VM and restart. The VM then works perfectly until the next back where we run into the same problem.
Has anyone seen this before?
Also in hindsight.....should we have shutdown all the VM's on the host before plugging in the replacement hard drive?
Cheers,
Keith
