Hi all,

Our vmkernel log files are showing repetitive messages of disabling and enabling the network ports of VM's.
These messages only occur when a machine is being backed up by vBackup.

Here's a snippet of the vmkernel log:

These messages continue until the backup has finished.

Can anyone tell if this this behavior normal? We are using backup over SSH.

Kind regards,
Bart
