Duplicate IP packet and Failover Issues with Beacon Monitoring

Details

When beaconing set in the ON state, NIC teaming can result in duplicate IP packets being received when a virtual machine connected to the virtual switch pings to the console OS.

Failover does not always take place when beacon heartbeat is not received for a given link. In some cases where failover does happen, an invalid link is chosen. This results in a problem where some failures are handled and some are not.

Solution

The issues are fixed in VMware ESX Server 3.0.2 and all higher versions.
