This is a known issue affecting ESXi 6.0.
Currently, there is no resolution.
To work around the issue, remove the vSphere Replicatoin Host-Based Replication (HBR) hbr_filter entries from the .vmx file:
Note: Virtual machine should be added to vSphere Replication in the vSphere 6.0 environment.
- Shutdown the affected virtual machine.
- Connect to the ESXi host the virtual machine resides on using a SSH session. For more information, see Using ESXi Shell in ESXi 5.x and 6.0 (2004746).
- Navigate to the location of the virtual machines .vmx file:
/vmfs/volumes/virtual_machine_datastore/virtual_machine_folder/
- Edit the virtual machine using a text editor:
vi virtual_machine.vmx
- Remove all the entries containing hbr_filter.
For example:
hbr_filter.configGen = ""
s csi0:0.filters = ""
hbr_filter.rpo = ""
hbr_filter.destination = ""
hbr_filter.port = ""
hbr_filter.gid = ""
hbr_filter.protocol = ""
hbr_filter.quiesce = ""
hbr_filter.opp = ""
hbr_filter.pause = ""
scsi0:0.hbr_filter.rdid = ""
scsi0:0.hbr_filter.persistent = ""
Note: You may also comment out each line by preceding each line with a #.
- Save the changes and exit the text editor.
- To find the vmid, run this command:
vim-cmd vmsvc/getallvms | grep -i VM_Name
-
- Power on the virtual machine.
