Master: W2k8 running 7.6.0.2
Data Store / Fibre Host / VM Access: 5230 running 2.6.0.2
VMWare is 5.0 and VM tools are up to date
All other smaller VM's attempted so far work just fine over fibre
The problem child is a 3.5 TB W2k8 box running SQL 2008 and client 7.5.0.7
On the VMWare side it's throwing a quiecing error saying to check the Event Logs. But there's nothing in the Event Logs. I did find this in the BPFIS log but can't seem to find this exact error in any of the KBs.
