Well i have the same problem again. After the first time we had the problem i decided that to re-install vcenter, since i had documented the whole process. I deleted everything from the vcenter vm and re-installed everything with a new database. (i only kept the vum database. )
and for the first two weeks everything was running fine. And then it happens again, in the beginning it happend once, and then a couple of days nothing, and then it started to happen more frequently.at the point that now it happens 10mins after i restarted the vcenter server.
I created a call with vmware, but they only asked me some basic questions (how many hosts and vms, database size, log retention.) and that i should check with my db admin... which we dont have...
And yes there are vpxd cash dump files.
