This can cause the hostd to crash.

The hostd.log will report similar entries as below

2019-07-17T16:30:09.223Z verbose hostd[A7C2B70] [Originator@6876 sub=PropertyProvider] RecordOp ASSIGN: summary.runtime, ha-root-pool. Sent notification immediately.

IpmiIfcSdrReadRecordId: retry expired.
IpmiIfcSdrReadRecordId: sensor not found, record id: 2219

Purpose

To avoid the ESXi host going into not responding status due to hostd.

Cause

Impact / Risks

1.Hardware health monitoring will stop working.
2.Sensor and SEL(System Event Log) data in vSphere Client and MOB( Managed Object Browser) won't be available.
3.esxcli commands to get sensor data will also not work.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in:
