In the cause of daily VM backups (actually with VDP, but that should not matter), we incidentally got msg.snapshot.error-QUIESCINGERROR when the backup is creating snapshots, and then, after a short time, the VMs will freeze: you can ping them, but any other interaction is impossible, and we eventually need to power-cycle them.
So maybe disabling the sync driver is not a bad idea after all, as it could be the double & intertwined action (FIFREEZE + vmsync) is causing the deadlock?
as I believe that quite a few SLES customers are running on ESXi, an official recommendation by Novell / Microfocus would by good.

Since these forums are not officially monitored by MF/SUSE then you probably won’t get an official recommendation through this channel, if possible then open a SR and ask and also kindly ask them publish a TID about this issue?
