I am running a ESX 7 server with a couple of VM's. I also use vCenter and VeeAM. Running on a SM X9SRL-F, 2690V2, 192GB and and SSD at the moment. Will transfer to synology connect by a 10Gbit Mellanox (SCSI).
My problem is when i create a backup of my PFSense VM, after 20 minutes (give of take) my internet isn't working anymore. PFSense isn't showing any problems, but nothing with regards to internet works anymore. After i reboot the PFSense VM everything is working fine again. My vCenter is showing some alerts but not really sure what to do with those:
PSC Service Health
vCenter Stats Monitor Service Health Alarm
vAPI Endpoint Service Health Alarm
I have installed the open VMware Tools package on my PFSense.
I have got a feeling that the problem is either the VM Tools or the fact that i use vmtools quiescence (as part of the VeeAM backup).
The is the only VM with this problem, i have other Windows and Linux VM's (Sophos, DC's, Exchange etc.)
Any ideas?
P.S. I have converted my whole setup from Hyper-V to ESX. So i haven't seen this problem before even though the setup isn't new.
