Hi guys, We're having issues with FreeBSD on our VMWare cluster since around October. VMs (usually higher load ones) will see a spike of CPU in VMWare and they'll become mostly unresponsive. No more network communication, and on the console you can sometimes switch VTs and type but nothing really happens. You have to give it a hard reboot.
Anyway, this has been happening mostly in the 8.x series of FreeBSD and we've run both regular VMWare Tools (which doesn't seem to even properly support newer versions of FreeBSD) and the lovely open-vm-tools which seems better taken care of and actually works. Oh, and it's nice to be able to update it thorough ports. Anyway, we're on a support call with a guy from VMWare trying to get this damn Heisenbug figured out and he says "open vm tools does not log properly on esxi". Can anyone shed some light on this or is this guy talking out of his ass? I can't find ANYONE on the internet talking about this.
