Does anyone have a resolution for this yet?  I have a PMR open with a level
2 tech and so far all he has said was to update VMware tools to 10.0.9.   I
did that on the datamovers which did not help at all.  I am trying to get
our VM team to update the VM's but that is a very slow process since they
would all need to be rebooted.   Last night half of our datamovers crashed
with this error.
