After a large (longer than 7 months) change in system date/time, either manually or via NTPD, vCMP guests may be terminated and restarted.
Temporary loss of service of data path elements, until terminated guests are restarted.
-- vCMP is provisioned. -- There is a large change (longer than 7 months, for example), to the system date/time.
Avoid large changes in system time during critical hours of operation. It may be better to bring down guests administratively, make the date/time change, and then bring the guests back up rather than allowing them to be terminated/restarted automatically due to heartbeat timer expiration.
