Hi,
I have a very strange issue that cannot solve today.
I am using ESXi 6.5 u1 with two datastore : datastore1 is SSD (samsung 840 1Tb), datastore 2 is 4Tb (WD sata). ESXi is installed on same disk as datastore1.
- When I deploy an OVF to datastore1, there is always an integrity issue on the vmdk file (md5 on the file shows a different hash on every new VM). The VM can most of the time run except if there is integrity check
- When I deploy the same OVF to datastore2, I have no issues, always the same md5 and VMs always run
- If I copy the machine folder from datastore2 to datastore1, it's always working fine, md5 match.
I could suspect an issue on the ssd, but the last test indicates the ssd is running fine.
I had the same issue with different ssd, different servers with ESX 6.0 to 6.5.
I now wonder how to identify the root cause.
