Hi,

We are experiencing the exact same issue with AG on SQL2012 and VMware 5.5. Snaps always cause the AG to failover. Increasing the timeout and only taking a snap of the c: alleviates the problem somewhat but can still cause a failover intermittently. Did you find a resolution to this? We really want to back these boxes up with vdp but can't until we resolve this issue.

Cheers,

Joe
