Folks,
I have been running the SRM 5.1 FC certification testing for a SRA plug-in for a couple of days. So far, 83 out 84 tests listed on the workbench have passed without any problems. But, for a couple of days, I have had ERRORS with only one test, the IntegrationTests::Recovery. This test takes about 5 hours to complete, and it has been failing with the following errors listed below:
Failed to rescan HBAs on host 'MY_HOST_NAME'. Unable to communicate with the remote host, since it is disconnected

It seems to me that this error is not related to the SRA plug-in, but with the VCenters servers (Primary or Secondary), which for some reason are getting disconnected.
Basic SRM tunings (Advanced Setting for timeouts only) are in place and working fine.
I am working with the recommended ESXi, SRM and VC combination for the certification testing, which are 5.1 GA.
Your help is really appreciated.
Regards,
Andy
