[APAR] IV30409 [Abstract] VMWARE AGENTS IN PENDING STATUS [Available since] Interim fix 4 [Description] 
If an invalid URL is defined or the VMware machine is incorrectly configured, the License Metric Tool server hangs when it attempts to connect to the machine, even though the timeout period was correctly configured. Such attempts of connection block the timer on which the VMware Connection task is running (Timer3). If the connection takes twice the amount of time that was defined as the timeout period, the connection thread is broken and the status of the VM manager is changed to Hard timeout - suspended. This status indicates that no further attempts of connection to the particular VM manager are made until its status is manually changed to Pending.
