• ESXi 4.1 host started crashing every day - including screen image

  Hello world

  I'm really at a loss here.  I have an ESXi 4.1 host (free version), who has 4 virtual machines on it. I haven't changed anything on this host recently but Friday it crashed and I had to do a hard reset.  It's the same thing again today.  I have no idea where to start to look at that.  The host hardware is two years. lt is running 6-drive SAS RAID, 24 GB memory and 2 Xeon quad-core processors.  What can I do to try to solve this problem?

  

  Since the Group:
  "The functionality Execute Disable No. run CPU not enabled for this machine.

  Please check the BIOS on your ESXi host hardware to see if this option is available (usuaully under CPU options, advanced settings or the warranty on some BIOS white box).  If that options is not available in your BIOS, please feel free to share the material model used (even if it is not on the HCL) as someone there may be able to help.

• ESXi 6.0 U1 host high CPU (climbing slowly) but VM idle

  I have ESXi 6.0 Update 1 (Build 3029758) installed on new equipment (Atom C2750, 16 GB of RAM).

  VM is Solaris 11.0 with 1 vCPU and 4 GB of RAM.  Solaris was installed from floor-11-1111-text - x 86 .iso without any additional configuration except to install VMware Tools.

  After you start the VM the CPU host shows inactive (12 MHz), but he's slowly climbing 10% per day (240 MHz per day) until she reaches about 95%, while the virtual machine itself becomes unresponsive, however said ESXi virtual machine still works fine.  At each stage the VM reports always that it is inactive.  Restart the virtual machine makes the host CPU to idle (12 MHz) and the slow rise begins again.

  Uptime of the virtual machine:

  In case anyone is wondering, I use Solaris 11.0 because we want to use ZFS with physical RDM to create a NAS for this virtual machine.  Unfortunately, Solaris 11.1 (and above) + physical RDM = purple ESXi screen (see Bug report: 11.1 Solaris + RDM = screen ESXi 5.1 violet).  Apparently, this problem was supposed to be fixed in ESXi 5.5 but still there in ESXi 6.0U1.  I tested (physical RDM + ESXi 6.0U1 + 11.1 Solaris) and (ESXi 6.0U1 11.3 Solaris + physical RDM).  The two combinations result in purple screen.

  It is interesting however, Solaris 11.1 (and above) without physical RDMs does NOT suffer from the slow rise of above host CPU utilization.  So, either I cope with a rise in CPU host weird or purple screens :-(

  In case anyone has the same problem, I solved this superuser.com class.

  http://superuser.com/questions/1024292/ESXi-6-0-U1-Solaris-11-0-VM-host-CPU-high-slowly-climbing-but-VM-idle

  In summary, the root cause was a storm of interruption in my Solaris 11.0 VM due to an incompatibility between ESXi and Solaris 11.0 interrupt timing mode.  Add the following line to/etc/System on the Solaris VM solved the problem.

  Set pcplusmp:apic_timer_preferred_mode = 0x0

• ESXi 6.0 keeps randomly crashing

  Hello, my server ESXi is random crashing. At first I thought it was causeb by a faulty GPU that I went through, but after it Exchange

  still not crash the server. I took a peek @ the vmkernel newspaper and saw errors with the data store but the newspaper continued until suddenly a dumpfile was created "/ var/core/hostd-worker-zdump.001".

  Unfortunately I can't open this file with cat via ssh. Maybe someone can help me with this problem of server crash?

  Kind regards

  Herb

  This is the integrated usb controller 3. After some research, I bought a PCIe controller with a Texas Instruments chip on it. and I can fully recommend a controller chip TI, win8.1 no problem.

  So no more hang ups and things like that. Time to put this baby (server) on the network

• ESXi 5.1 update 1 crashing randomly with Exception 14 purple #PF screen

  Hello

  We have occasional crashes on our VMware ESXi 5.1 hosts update 1.

  The host will break and then all the vm is turned on on the hosts of the survivors

  Purple death appears the following:

  #PF exception 14 worldwide 8199:idle7 (image to see the attachment for more details)

  

  I exported the newspapers and peeked through the vmkernel logs but can't seem to see anything that appears really out, any ideas?

  I've been reading around on the internet and forums with other people having this problem and it seems that on the version previous to esxi, it was a problem and vmware has released a fix. However with the latest version I seem to not really know

  Hi guys, we have received information of VMware this morning just to update everyone.

  The cause of our accident is limiting the flow of port groups. He has been identified in our crash and newspapers with the debug version of ESXi running.

  The fix will be included in the following updates:

  ESXi 5.1 Patch 04 - should be available by the end of April 2014.

  ESXi 5.5 Patch 02 - should be available by the end of June 2014.

  
  

  In the meantime the work around is to disable the limitation of the flow on port-groups
  

• ESXi 4 free upgrade to 2 CPU

  Hi all

  I have a Dell T610 with 1 processor Xeon 5506 and 12 GB (6x2GB) RAM

  I am looking to upgrade my RAM and instead of exchanging all the RAM on and to 3x8GB it would be less expensive to add another CPU and get 6x4Go of RAM.

  The console of vSphere license information indicates the following:

  Product: ESXi 4 Server unique registered for 1 physical CPU (1-6 cores per processor)

  License key: XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX

  Expires: never

  Product features:

  Up to 256 GB of memory

  Up to 4-way virtual SMP

  As you can see, it is said that it is allowed for 1 physical CPU, but what happens if I add another CPU?

  I can live with having only 4vCPU by VM, even if I have 8 cores, but that work?

  ESXi will use all my 8 cores?

  I'm interested in staying with the free version for now.

  Thank you

  Idan.

  Yes, just plug.  In the free version which is just a field of view for how many processors are physically installed.

  As you note, vSMP will remain at 4 vCPU per guest, however using more than 2 vCPU on one single guest is not recommended in most situations anyway.

  Please give points for any helpful answer.

• 2 physical CPU considered 4 CPU in ESXi

  Hello

  I had a problem on a UCS B200 M4 blade. the blade contains 2 physical CPU E5-2660 [email protected] (10 carrots each)

  ESXi 5.5 u2 (with or without custom image cisco) installed successfully.

  But ESXi 5.5 see 4 physical CPU with 5 cores of each instead of the 2 physical.

  I have no idea why, maybe the bios features but do not know which?

  Someone has an idea?

  Thanks in advance.

  Hello

  Is the question on the community of cisco. It seems that the E5 v3 adds a new feature called COD (Cluster on Die).

  Unfortunately this feature is not supported by VMware for now (even in u2 5.5).

  It is possible to disable in the bios.

  Thanks for your help.

• vCenter crashes when you add esxi hosts

  When I add an esxi host to vcenter, it crashes when it comes to installing the agent vcenter at the bottom of the screen. Then my vi client will expire and say he lost the connection. What of weird is that my vcenter is just a virtual machine sitting inside the physical esxi server, I am trying to add. My connection is both high speed broadband as well. I don't understand not for vcenter IN the esxi server, I try to add, you would think that the connection should be fairly quick. My vcenter vm using windows xp pro 32-bit.

  When you run the add in vCenter you are connected to the local ESX and vCenter through the vSphere client?  I don't think that cause this problem, but if you are connected to two, during the add, delete the vSphere client connection in the ESX and try to add it again.  In addition, if you publish newspapers at the time of failure:

  ESX

  / var/log/vmkwarning

  / var/log/VMkernel

  var

  vCenter

  Journal of vpxd

  Is this the only ESX add that causes the problem?  You can VMotion the vCenter to another ESX Server and try to add the ESX problem?

• Network on the VMS problem guests on nested Hyper-V on ESXi 5.5

  Nesting of virtualization is already complicated, now, I hope that my subject of this discussion is not too complicated.

  Server: Dell PowerEdge R730 double E2640

  • External hypervisor: ESXi 5.5.0u2 (Dell custom image, installed on the server), 4 (NIC0, NIC1 in use) network interface cards
    • Management IP address 10.200.200.9/ subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 / Gateway: 10.200.200.1
  • Inner hypervisor: Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter, using 2 network cards virtual x E1000E
    • IP 10.200.200.10 (for BONES)
    • IP 10.200.200.11 (for guest virtual machines)

  
  

  Basically, I followed the instructions to create a new virtual machine with Virtual hardware version 10, edit the vmx file, allocate and reserve the 64 GB of RAM with 8 vCPU for Windows Server,

  VHV. Enable = "TRUE".

  Hypervisor.CPUID.v0 = "FALSE".

  MCE. Enable = "TRUE".

  At this point, everything works fine- I am able to install the Windows server 2012 R2 with Hyper-V feature. I also installed VMware Tools on this 2012 Windows Hyper-V, datacenter arrived at the field, ran iSCSI to connect to our NAS and restarted the hyper-V without problem on ESXi.

  
  
  

  But when I try to install a new guest VM in Hyper-V, the network does not work properly.

  I install a Windows Standard 2012 on Hyper-V (the inner hypervisor) without problem and the guest that OS Gets a 10.200.200.86 IP address (assigned by DHCP on the same subnet)

  This guest operating system, I am able to ping it's computer Hyper-V host 1st layer (10.200.200.10 and 10.200.200.11) and 2nd ESXi host (10.200.200.9), but the impossibility of joining as a result of gateway (10.200.200.1).
  

  And of course, I received an exclamation sign on the network icon in the taskbar of the 2012 Windows standard saying 'no internet connection '.

  * I was always able to join this Windows 2012 Std comments to the domain.

  No existingon the same subnet is an another Hyper-V on server physical hosting multiple virtual machines of comments including the controller of field and the DHCP servers, etc.

  
  

  I tried using PCIe with the Dell Server NIC3 pass through, but it crashed the ESXi and gave me an IERR (CPU 1 error) error message on my screen front of server Dell

  I ended up not using pass-through PCIe (although I really want to use if this solves my problem), because I learned that it can cause problems with other discussion threads Intel processors.

  Also, does anyone have similar problems? What did you do to fix this? I have been stuck for days not being is not able to connect guest VM in internet...

  My goals for this configuration are

  (1) simplify my strategy of VM backup (backup only the Hyper-V 2012 to capture all the parameters of the virtual machine)

  (2) maintain the real guest VMs on the NAS.

  (3) use this new Hyper-V with another Hyper-V (on another old physical server, are not nested) to provide high availability

• Core i5 rejected as suitable CPU? Installer says that the CPU supports virtualization?

  Puzzled here; double checked even with Intel CPU ID utility to make sure that he said YES (and it does):

  

  Yet, when I boot the latest installer 5.5 esxi ISO it complain about the CPU, and I can not install it:

  

  Hardware virtualization is just a warning... This isn't preventing you to install.  Have you looked in the BIOS and ensured that hardware virtualization (or virtualization technology) is enabled?  You need to maybe turn off and turn on your system (really, restart not only or reset, remove the power actually) after changing the setting.

  The reason why you can not install ESXi is the error of memory size above.  You will need more RAM, or you can be able to go into the BIOS of the host and reduce the size of the graphics memory integrated in order to free enough RAM for ESXi run.

• comparison of physical CPU and vCPU cores

  Hello

  I'm an admin of VMWare and recently asked by a customer in our Cloud Computing environment to add an extra vCPU to one of their virtual machines so that it aligned the physical counterpart that they had migrated away from more.  The physical version had 2 processors quad core (clocked at 1.4 Ghz) and the virtual version has now 2 vCPUs (The ESXI host a 2.4 Ghz CPU).  Since then, I've been asked how to compare the two and I am struggling to explain their project...

  The user connects to the physical computer and run the Task Manager and sees the 8 cores working away

  It then records in the virtual machine and see the two processors working away.  You can say that he thinks that the performance piling in ESXi...

  How to compare the two scenarios and how can I explain that is comparable in an ESXi environment - and is it really comparable?

  The way I see it, adding a second processor on the virtual computer which means provide 2 physical processors on the host are available, instructions can be performed on them by the customer, which means that 2 at the same time.

  On the physical server, the 8 cores can be used simultaeously then, how this can never be comparable?

  Or I have this completely wrong?  Performance and the remains has never been my strong point!

  Advice or answers on the above would be welcome

  Thank you

  Hello.

  Each vCPU is mapped to a logical processor, which is a physical on your host system kernel if you do not have active Hyperthreading.

  I don't like the physical to virtual comparison, but of course I know my clients.

  In most cases, the physical resources have never been effectively used, as the operating system or application running on the top was not able to use the 8 cores of the two processors for example four hearts in your example.

  So most of the time you can get the same performance with only 1 or 2 vCPUs after moving to virtualization.

  If you want to know more you can read the resource management Guide: http://pubs.vmware.com/vsphere-50/topic/com.vmware.ICbase/PDF/vsphere-esxi-vcenter-server-501-resource-management-guide.pdf

  Ciao a tutti. HO a grosso dubbio. Abbiamo una macchina con tecnologia AMD Opteron.

  Since ' discovered application che deve run no e sopra che abbiamo' disabilitando of aware e Reed NUMA NUMA non ha ottime performance above us is virtualizzando it Server e installando poi una vm, sia possibile UN processore emulare a tecnologia Intel (sul quale application funziona bene).

  Secondo voi Può ' funzionare o alla fine Reed is nelle options c'e 'the opportunity' di change the configurations of CPU/MMU virtualization, in concreto continued ad utilizzare solo istruzioni AMD?

  Quindi non e' pensabile che virtualizzando server, indipendentemente dalla cpu used, performance of esx riesca a sfruttare NUMA (che abbiamo disabilitato adesso) e ad avere migliori, giusto? Perche' in ogni caso the vm would be lato cpu come quella fisica e abilitato NUMA would.

  No e che uses NUMA o meno, the hypervisor ESXi passed the che trova sulla cpu alle istruzioni varies virtual machines. SE numa e acceso lo trovera VM (to lo supporta) e lo usera, altrimenti not. Reach: Di 'emulazione"VMware no fa cpu.

• Comments from 64-bit within ESXi in ESXi 5.0 5.0 (nested vm)

  I am trying to run 64-bit within ESXi 5.0 comments in ESXi 5.0. It was not possible to run virtual machines nested within ESXi 4.x, but AFAIK it is now possible in 5.0. But I still have this error when I run 64-bit VM nest:

  -CPU ID level 80000001: edx: - 1 - H -

  Any other suggestions?

  The host itself needs little memory too, which is not available for virtual machines. Please take a look at the 'Resources' of the virtual host tab to see how much memory is available for virtual machines. There is also an overload of memory you need to take into account for the power on the virtual machine. Assignment of a bit more memory to the VM ESXi (~4.5GB) should do.

• Error in installing ESXi 5 on PC

  Need help... when installing ESXi, I get an error "the CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. Power off or reset the virtual machine.
  
  What could be the reason for such reason?

  The parameters must be configured in the host system (HP Pavilion). I don't know how this BIOS looks like, you can search settings (settings of the processor usually). As mentioned earlier, after changing the setting, the system power cycle!

• Host servers are max cpu

  Anyone able to help? a strange question. all 3 of my esxi servers 4 grow very high CPU usage. they normally run about 30 to 40% of nowhere they grow 80-90, they were for a few months. the only change I made was that I did an ip address change on my storage system to a private address 192.168.1.X, but that was yesterday. My vm running under the current CPU load there. any advise? It is production area so I don't know if I should restart or not...

  CPU usage increases when a system process requires more time or when several network packets are sent and received. The CPU becomes too busy when the CPU receives too many packets of the switch hardware or when a system process consumes too much time CPU. When one of these functions is using CPU resources, then it will be at the expense of the other, because the CPU is too busy.  For example, if the CPU gets number of packets due to a storm of broadcasting on the network, it is so busy processing all the packages that the other processes in the system do not have access to the resources of the processor.
