Dear VMWare Community,
I have serious trouble with Windows 2016/2019 VM guests on ESXi 6.7. Every 3,4,5 days several VMs are unresponsible and hang. The only way to bring the VM back to life is the reset. The log is clean. I seems that the VM hangs without any error and the VMWare tools are unavailable.

This problem occurs on several ESXi machines. The configuration is similiar.
Intel S2600 Board (with newest firmware)
LSI Megaraid Controller (with newest firmware)
Intel Xeon Processors
ESXi 6.7.0 Update 1 (Build 11675023)
Am I the only one having this problem? :-)
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
