EMC ESRS stops working when it is VMotioned
- by makerofthings7
EMC is on site and told me:
The ESRS SAN monitoring solution will cease to function if that host is VMotioned
In case anyone doesn't know, the ESRS is a dial home solution that works over IP. An EMC SecureID is required to add or modify the list of devices that are monitored. The ESRS software is installed on the customer premises.
Question
If ESRS truly fails to work, as the EMC engineer stated, and based on our customer experience, what is it within VMWare that is exposed to the virtualized host that allows this behavior to happen?
