Network connectivity is lost when virtual machines
configured with Virtual Guest Tagging (VGT) are
migrated to another ESXi host
Description: When virtual machines that are configured with 802.1q VLAN tagging are migrated to another ESXi host,
the network connectivity is lost. The network connectivity is reestablished within a few minutes without
any user intervention.
Applies to: ESXi 6.5.x
Cause: VMware VMotion is unable to send a Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP) for the tagged guest
virtual machine. For more information VMware Knowledge Base article 2113783.
Workaround: Force an Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) lookup request on the tagged network which generates an
egress traffic that is started from the new switch port and update the switch of the new location. Forcing
an ARP lookup request can be accomplished by performing a ping to another destination on the network
from inside the guest operating system running in the virtual machine.

does not display any information when a drive is
removed
Description:
The Hardware Health tab does not generate alerts in the vCenter Web Client when a drive is removed
from the ESXi host or when a RAID storage array is modified.
Applies to: ESXi 6.5.x
Workaround: The drive status of the ESXi host is marked as Deassert under the Hardware Health tab when it is
removed. The status of the drive removal can also be obtained using the perccli storelib library in the ESXi
host shell.
