I have an older Cisco catalyst that gives me hiccups like that too actually. In my colo if I point a vm from one server to another there is like a 30-60 sec delay before the box will start networking functions again. Its not the server, because if I move it from my backup esx boxes to my tertiary set which is on a 16 port dlink gigabit switch (hey its my third backup set!) I don't have the same issue.
-----Original Message----- From: Jeff Bunting [mailto:bunting.j...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 06, 2009 14:21 To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: CSA and VMWare With all the VM talk lately, I was wondering if anyone has had any issues with Cisco Security Agent on a VM. Recently had a problem with a VM hanging after migrating it to another host. The VM wouldn't ping, and console wouldn't respond to CTRL-ALT-DEL although Virtual Center showed processor utilization at 50%. Reset VM and all was OK again. Nothing in the event logs except for the unexpected shutdown. CSA may not be the problem at all, or may only occasionally cause this; I don't have any evidence other than it happened once before on another VM. I thought perhaps the MAC address was changing and causing problems with CSA. FWIW, vm is 2003 Server SP2, , CSA v5.0 under ESX v3.5. vmdk is SAN based.
