Issue/Introduction

VMWare devices in Spectrum disappear when the virtual center server reboots.

Environment

Release: Any
Component: SPCDIS

Cause

This is really an issue with the VCAIM, sometimes when the vCenter reboots the VM table is empty during initialization.

Resolution

A workaround for this issue is to go to Virtual Host Manager model's Configuration -> VMware -> vCenter Discovery view, and set the Allow Device Model Deletes option to NO.
