Hi,
Since upgrading to vCenter 2.5 U4, we keep having problems with the Past Day stats rollupVirtualCenter SQL job. It keeps failing with the following error:
Log Job History (Past Day stats rollupVirtualCenter)
Step ID 1

Job Name Past Day stats rollupVirtualCenter
Step Name Past day stats rollup

Message
Executed as user: VirtualCenterDBO. Transaction (Process ID 89) was deadlocked on lock | communication buffer resources with another process and has been chosen as the deadlock victim. Rerun the transaction. (Error 1205). The step failed.
Sometimes, the vCenter service crashes, with error:
An unrecoverable problem has occurred, stopping the VMware VirtualCenter service. Check database connectivity before restarting. Error: Error[VdbODBCError] (-1) "ODBC error: (HY000) - [SQL Native Client][SQL Server]The instance of the SQL Server Database Engine cannot obtain a LOCK resource at this time. Rerun your statement when there are fewer active users. Ask the database administrator to check the lock and memory configuration for this instance, or to check for long-running transactions." is returned when executing SQL statement "UPDATE VPX_ENTITY SET NAME = ? ,
Is anyone else having this problem?
