Under ESXi 5.1 and View 5.2 we always disabled change block tracking on our master image before recompose per this article
http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2032214
We are now running ESXi 5.5 and View 5.3. When I change ctkEnabled to false, this setting never sticks. If I change it to false and go back in to look at this setting it shows as true
This has led to recompose errors which is exactly what the KB describes. I opened a case with VMWare but so far they have not figured out how to set ctkEnabled to false
Has anyone else experienced this?
