the link to tell you the resolution takes you to a non existent page.

from what I have read here it seems lots of people started getting these error when they updated to 12.7 vsa version.  We have only had 12.7 so I can't say that we would not have gotten the errors on an erlier release.

Some background

we have a 2 Node cluster DL360's gen9 all 1G ports and they are all bonded, including the iSCSI connections.

the FOM is on a 3rd ESX server that is not part of this cluster.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Paul.

Hi Paul

I had the same problem, from time to time. Solution was on the switch to check and change MTU jumboframes to NOT use them or change the size to all use the same size.

cheers

Hey Thomas 

thanks for the reply.

So we don't have jumbo frames enabled, but I have heard that if you don't have the same settings for jumbo frames set across all VM's / servers you will get an error.

So I did find the Fix for my issue.  It turned out to be the bandwith settings under the (Main Management Group) this was set to 40Mb and the recomended setting is 16Mb.

Haven't found a solution for that. In my opinion it could correlate with Flow Control settings...... ???

It is only appearing when I'm running my backup at night!

Someone has a solution please tell me ;-)

Hi I was using 2 X HPE Veeam BR physical servers Win 2012R2 with 1Gbps network to 10Gbps VSA cluster & had this issue every time backup runs 

Yesterday I Installed 10Gbps T NICs in each Veeam box & connect to 10Gbps switch & the problem went away fully
