  • Look at this the issue seems to be happening because we are waiting for VXTAP to Complete its process while closing the Disk During the Suspend Operation.

 

 

Action Plan:

 

 

  • Based on the logs we can see the issue seems to be with the VXTAP Driver from Veritas. In order to Confirm, please take a VM out of the Veritas Driver and then try to reproduce the issue.

 

  • In the Meantime you can also check with the VXTAP Team to check if there is any known issue or its something which they have seen before.
