Here are my architecture :

For the protected site

4 Host VSphere Enterprise Plus, each one with 2 HBAs FC connected to the switch fabric, connected to an EMC CX4-120

1 VCenter

1 SRM

For the recovery site

2 Hosts Vsphere 4

1 Vcenter

1 SRM

1 CX-4-120

The CX4-120 is connected to the second CX4-120 with ISCSI and the MirrorView / Asynchronous.

I synchronise for the time 6 Lun on a FC DAE, 2 on a S-ATA DAE

I have allocated 30% of the amount synchronised LUN for the SNAPSHOT us, but I have allocated them only on my S-ATA II DAE. It does not make a problem, my snapshot are correctly active.

All the installation is new (hardware and software), installed in January with the last files available in download. I have a strange problem, and it's random, sometimes when I run a test on my RP, some VMs have this error : Error: A specified parameter was not correct.

I don't know where to look. Any help is appreciated...

PS : I have checked on all the VMs, no Floppy disk or CD attached.

PS2 : There is severals VMs with RDM and OCFS2 filesystems on it.
