Resolution

Summaries and Symptoms

This patch resolves an issue where after you upgrade to or install VMware ESXi 6.0.x, the following operations might fail or not work as expected on a Change Block Tracking (CBT) enabled virtual machine due to excessive CBT heap exhaustion:

  • Virtual machine backup
  • Virtual machine Power on
  • Expanding the size of the virtual disk
  • Taking virtual machine quiesced snapshots
You can observe error log similar to the following in the /var/log/vmkernel.log file:

<YYYY-MM-DD>T<time>.nnnn cpu5:nnnnnn)WARNING: CBT: 191: No memory available! Called from 0xnnnnnnnnnnnn</time>

The vSphere Client might display an error message similar to the following when you attempt quiesced snapshot:

An error occurred while taking a snapshot: msg.snapshot.error-QUIESCINGERROR


Deployment Considerations

None beyond the required patch bundles and reboot information listed in the table above.

Patch Download and Installation

An ESXi system can be updated using the image profile, by using the esxcli software profile command. For details, see the vSphere Command-Line Interface Concepts and Examples and the VMware vSphere Upgrade Guide. ESXi hosts can also be updated by manually downloading the patch ZIP file from the Patch Manager Download Portal and installing the VIB by using the esxcli software vib command.
