While issues in SPS or the vvold service don't always directly impact the performance of a VASA Op, there are some factors to consider.

  • Responsiveness of the vCenter Server's vmware-sps service or ESXi's vvold service
    • If the Service is locked or resource strained, then it'll take longer for the service to send the request or to process the completed request response
    • Additionally if these services are taking time to respond then there could be queuing of those requests on the vSphere side
  • Management path disruption from the vCenter Ser'vers vmware-sps service or ESXi's vvold service
    • In the event that there is a network issue or the service fails or locks up the requests issued may fail right away or take 60+ seconds to fail
