Pozor na pripojenu fyzicku CDROM mechaniku!

Dnes som nasiel problem, ktory mi dlhodobo a pravidelne sposoboval vypadky dostupnosti virtualizovaneho servera. Na istu chvilu prestal sietovo komunikovat, asi 6-7 pingov, pocas coho prestala reagovat aj konzola vSphere klienta.
Log virtualnej stanice neukazoval pocas daneho pravidelneho vypadku absolutne nic.
Skusil som teda pozriet konfiguraciu virtualizovaneho hardware a nasiel som podozrive nastavenie CDROM, ktore mapovalo fyzicku CDROM mechaniku podkladoveho servera. Akonahle som nastavenie odstranil, vypadky prestali!

Takze pozor na namapovane fyzicke zariadenia!!!

Koniec uvazovania z rokov sedemdesiatych
