chris11256 Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 Morning All, Has anyone had any major problems with esx 7? I've upgraded our two hosts to esx 7 update 2a and it seems to have completely broken snapshot functionality. I only noticed when our Veeam jobs all failed and now running a snapshot seems to completely lockup the VM after a few minutes which also can't be cancelled. I do have a support case with vmare that I've opened this morning, but just wanted to see if anyone else has had similar problems?
DrCheese Posted July 22, 2021 Posted July 22, 2021 ESX 7U1 no, worked fine - Of course, just make sure your veeam install is updated. ESX 7U2 tho, they changed the way that it sees SAN storage which meant on the host I updated would try to mount it as local storage/lock the SAN which meant it couldn't see the VMS properly. Had to revert to 7U1 for now. 1
chris11256 Posted July 22, 2021 Author Posted July 22, 2021 Odd, I moved from 6.7 to 7 update 2a. Have checked it's seeing the SAN properly and not making it as local, I just can't create a snapshot. I've got a remote sesison with vmware support tomorrow morning, so fingers crossed that sheds some light. Is very annoying though as none of our backup jobs can run until this is fixed. Rebooting vcentre cleared the task from the UI, but something's still stuck on the hosts.

chris11256 Posted July 27, 2021 Author Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) Just an update to this in case anyone finds this thread with the same problem. I've fixed the problem with a firmware update. We have two DL360 G10's with the E208e-p storage controller. The solution in this case was to update the controller firmware, once updated & rebooted everything works normally again. If anyone needs it here's the firmware link https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/swd/detail?swItemId=MTX_1b05b3627f244efebc5553b7f4#tab1 as it does cover a few other controllers as well.

jtotheb Posted November 18, 2021 Posted November 18, 2021 (edited) Just a heads up for anyone planning to test or deploy ESXi and VC 7u3. It appears to be "problematic" with revisions being released and then subsequently pulled within days. Fortunately, we were only testing some VCSA upgrade scenarios. https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/86287 Edited November 18, 2021 by jtotheb
