ESX 5.5 on Supermicro purple screen

Similar Questions

• Purple screen United immediately after ESXi 5 loading bar when starting the installation disc.

  I have a client that is running ESX 4.0 on a compatible with ESXi 5 host.  When I went to upgrade the host to ESXi 5 I ran into a problem, I have never seen elsewhere.  I started on the disk and screen with the status bar at the top is fine.  Immediately after loading, before showing always the yellow background or license agreement, he throws a Uni purple screen and without words.  If you leave it for about 20 seconds, then the screen goes black with gray blocks randomly everywhere.  I tried with another download and CD but I get the same results.  I couldn't find anything on purple screens without the current text.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!

  Did you check if the version of the BIOS of the host must be updated in order to run ESXi 5.0?

• Simulate the purple screen

  Is it possible to simulate the purple screen of death?  If so, how?

  Thank you.

  If it's for ESXi, you can do it using vsish - http://www.ntpro.nl/blog/archives/1388-Lets-create-some-Kernel-Panic-using-vsish.html

  If you are looking for classic ESX, you can do it with vsish, but you will need to get a package of VMware debugging, because vsish is not available on ESX classic by default.

• Error MCE - purple screen of death - HP DL360 G6 ESX4.0

  Twice now that we have received control of Machine errors, with a purple screen of death: that is to say:

  We do not have a support contract with HP, (warranty support Just). They asked to take it down and run full diagnostics on it (ugh) as well as to ensure that we have the current firmware (we were).  But why we have to run diag on the disks for this sort of thing escapes me.

  Well, the diagnoses are happily cranking away. I'm just happy that we had put this system into production yet.

  Issues related to the:

  Anyone else had problems with the errors of Machine control with new chips from Intel's Nehalem under ESX?

  Anyone know how I can map the number of CPUs in the vmkernel message to a physical processor? HP actually said that we should "change processors" to diagnose. In my mind, it's clearly a hardware problem and they should understand what cpu is themselves and replace.

  Obviously, we need some sort of a support contract, because guarantee support for this is a little lacking. It is our first server HP (experience with Sun). And so far, I'm not too happy.

  I guess it's off topic for Vmwre ESX, but if anyone has any suggestions as to the quantity, we have to pay to get a decent level of support, I would like to know.

  Errors that you see in the newspaper combined with the control of the machine strongly suggest bad memory.

  Hi everyone, this is my first purple screen I extracted the log file and the tail, which is mentioned below.  I think it is a mistake to CPU and hoping it's off but any advice would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance

• Authentication failure on the purple screen when trying to access MSN games

  I have seen similar questions in the forums, but can't see all the answers on what to do.

  When I click on my bookmark/link to the home page and you try to connect, I get a purple screen saying:

  You have reached this page due to errors in your authentication

  You can choose from the following sites in the area to continue

  • I don't know, or none of the above, (just exactly what this refers to?)
  • I was trying to buy a game
  • I tried to play a game at Zone.com
  • I tried to play a game in MSN Messenger

  None of the links work. From the home page, has managed to access a help screen - even if my username of games was not displayed.  Despite the removal of temporary files & cookies and make sure Active X, etc is enabled on Internet options, when I try and sign again, I will re-directed to the purple screen.

  In addition, I can not get access to my account, nor my badges - so I can't change anything, even if I wanted to. Everything that happens? Is there something in the Internet Options, which must be enabled (which I missed it). Someone at - it ideas on how to overcome this problem. I don't think it's because of the upgrade to Windows 7 from Vista, because I was able to play my usual game immediately: this problem started 3 days ago.

• Windows 8 shows a purple screen flashing after the start. I can't access the start menu and the desktop... How can I fix it?

  It worked fine for a day. Then this happened.

  Mine 8.1 flicking of screen between the office and purple screen constantly, occurred because of a Windows update that is has happened when I wasn't paying attention.

  I just went into recovery menu taking into turning computer turned off and before you turn on the computer, press and hold the F8 key

  -Press F8 all the time until the "Please wait" is displayed on your screen

  - Then it will say recovery

  -See Advanced repair options

  Were able to:

  -Troubleshooting

  -Advanced options

  -System restore

  I chose a restore date before that I did my last windows update and then flew it worked.

  Then I created a good restore point and reinstalled the update and everything was fine. I hope this helps someone.

  I guess the update got initially interrupted either by loss or hiccups in the Wi - Fi or DSL and something do not go right.

  Suddenly during the production during the day, one of my hosts ESXi 5.5 crashes with a purple screen.

  The error is 14 exception.

  
  

  At the bottom of the screen, it says "partial discharge: not enough space.

  This suggests that it is impossible to make a Coredump on the disk.

• Purple screen on HOST with Esxi 5.5

  Good afternoon

  I'm upgrading from 5.1 to 5.5 esxi servers.

  I've updated 5 servers without problems but the sixth, I had a problem.

  This morning when I've updated a host everything worked fine. Suddenly, an hour later, host was unreachable and when I checked in the server room

  I got a purple screen. I manually restarted the host, and everything seems to work.

  In my research, one user has this kind of problem, and it's cyclical. I'm doing research in this type of case a way to fix this bug.

  I took a quick glance at 2 positions:

  VMware KB: ESXi hosts with larger workloads can generate partial core dumps

  VMware communities: All content-all communities

  Is that someone already had this kind of screen? Understand what the purple screen?

  Kind regards

  Definitely check your versions of firmware on your server, BIOS, NETWORK card, card Raid array.  What type of server is it?

• A purple screen of death (.. .exception 14 to the world...) with Vsphere 5.5 and Windows 2012R2 Server (problem solved)

  Hello

  I think it is good to add here...

  I started now to migrate my server under Windows Server R2 2012. The virtual environment is vSphere 5.5 HP DL380G7 servers.

  Today, I have solved a hard crash of the host server after you have added a server Win2012R2. The symptoms are CMTF (purple screen of death) to the host (I was pleased that I have disabled the new customer HA; that would be a blow my other hosts).

  Basic message was "...". exception 14 worldwide xxxx... ».

  I solved it very simple by changing the E1000 to VMXNET3 virtual network card. For me, it looks like a bug to develop by VMware in the next versions. For now it works.

  I hope this information helps you!

  Good luck!

• LSI-9210-8i (LSI SAS 2008) written very unstable and purple screen

  Hello!

  I have a serious stability problem and I am not able to understand how to solve.

  I have an IBM ServerRaid M1015 (oem of a LSI-9220-8i version) I reflashed with the ISIS software (9210-8i IT mode, but see below for details).

  When I started with ESXi and create a virtual machine with a big virtual disk (90% of the physical disk), the creative process hangs after some time (about 10% for a vdisk 145GB on a 160 GB pdisk)

  and I get a lot of 'stuff' in the file vmkernel.log (see attachment logfiles). Finally, ESXi will be purple screen and die.

  I seem to be able to make the small diskaccesses with no problems.

  To test if it's a hardware problem, I have:

  • I did a new install of Debian - 6.0, and there everything works without problem.
  • I only did a new install of Solaris-11u1 no problem here too: the controller was FAST!
  • I tried to move the controller to another host (HP DL120 G6), same problem here.
  • I even tried to buy another controller (which worked perfectly with the included IBM software but after that I have reflashed with the LSI-9210-8i IT firmware, that he was not only the first)
  • I tried a cable cutter instead of HP backplane to be sure it wasn't the bottom of basket that gave me problems.
  • I tried to move the map to another location PCIe cable 8087 to the other port on the controller card.

  The system configuration:

  • VMware: ESXi - 5.1.0update1 (build 1065491)
  • Machine: HP ML150 G6 (12 GB of memory, BIOS: ø21) and HP DL120 G7

  I have attached the log files from the system. Is anyone able to point me in a direction for a fix? Or any who have used IBM M1015 (in mode IT) with VMware - 5.1

  This starts to become just a little frustrating! :-)

  I cannot conclude 100% but it seems to be a driver problem ESXi or the combination of firmware and driver.

  Hello!

  It seems that VMware ESXi 5.5 have a conflict pilot with different controllers in the same machine at the same time.

  I have been using the LSI AND the controller on the motherboard for extra drive supported.

  When I only disks on the controller LSI wanished of problems!

  I have why it worked in the Debian and Solaris with disks on both controllers, but not in ESXi. I tried to level the firmware and drivers of LSI, but he will get unstable on me when using different types of controllers at the same time.
