Task management is an important part of vSphere API. It enables asynchronous calls by returning a Task back before the work is actually done at the server side. If a task takes too long (for example, more than 15 minutes to create a virtualmachine snapshot from VirtualCenter), however, it can time out before it finishes. It means you lose tracking of the task.
You can easily fix this issue by changing the configurations. On the ESX server, add the following to the /etc/opt/vmware/vpxa/vpxa.cfg file:
<task> <timeout>7200</timeout> </task>
and
<vmomi> <soapStubAdapter> <blockingTimeoutSeconds>7200</blockingTimeoutSeconds> </soapStubAdapter> </vmomi>
Remember to restart the service:
