Snapdrive 6.1 - Vmware ESX 3.5 - slow startup

Hi,

I've the following issue:

When I upgrade snapdrive 6.0.2 to snapdrive 6.1 in a vmware guest os (windows 2003), the vmware guest will boot very slow.

As I suspected snapdrive, I can see that it takes a lot of time to start the snapdrive service by restarting the snapdrive and looking in the event viewer.

When I did a deeper inspection, I may conclude that snapdrive wants to talk to our virtual center and that's where it goes wrong. This will take about 5 minutes or longer. (I saw this when I did a repair of snapdrive 6.1 software and at the part where the setup connects to vmware, the timeout was seen)

Is there a way to debug this and see what's going wrong ?

Greetings,

Boeckx Kris

Hi Kris,

Setting the "Remote Access Connection Manager" RasMan service as automatic should solve this problem.

Thanks,
