VCL Intermittent Image Loading Problem
I've been working with a severely hacked up VCL installation.
I've had an up and down relationship with it. Ten minutes ago,
it was "up", and now it's sort of "down".
I was able to load images not too long ago (read: 10-20
minutes ago), and now I can't get them to load at all. VCLd
says the images are failing. A closer look shows that the
images aren't getting registered, mainly because of a sudden
"invalid datastore path" error:

I am going to have to check the management nodes to see if
something happened to the NFS server. Is there any other
reason this might have happened when everything seemed to be
working well not 20 minutes ago?
Thanks.

Gerhard,
I thought the same thing, too but that doesn't seem to be the case. I logged in to both machines with the infrastructure client and they have not been renamed, at least as far as I can see.
I've even checked the storage appliance and all seems to be well.
I will reboot both hypervisors and see if that solves the problem.
Thanks.

I have seen it before where ESX renames a NFS mount from [VCL] to [VCL(1)] which causes an issue when VCL looks for [VCL]. Also make sure to comment out your pwds in the logs you post.
