ESXI 5.5 GROUP (Purple Screen of Death)

• 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!

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

  We have a new operation HP DL360 G6 (ESX) 4.0 vsphere.  It is filled with two 5770 Intel Nehalem processors.

  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.

• Purple screen of death with ESXi 3.4 U4

  Hi all

  I lived I have a strange problem with esxi 3.5 U4. Yesterday morning I got the purple screen on one of my hosts esxi test, if anyone can give me any idea what this error means.

  on the host, it there was only one virtual machine running with ubuntu server on it. The thing I noticed is that my colleague, who install the ubuntu Server I forgot to install vmware tools. Can this be the cause of this error.

  After a reboot and the vmware tools install everything I work, but I don't know what was the problem in the first place, so I appreciate your responses.

  Kind regards

  Lyubo

  Hello

• ESXI 5.1.0 purple screen with openwrt

  Hello

  Very annoying problem. I run an instance openwrt and after a few reboots of the ESXI 5.1.0 shows purple core dump on the console screen.

  I have a G7 HP Proliant DL 360 with the latest firmware update from HP. Also installed the latest drivers from HP. It must be fully supported

  but no cigar.  I have not encountered this problem with ESXI 5.0.0. Anyway around this problem? What type of logging you need me to look at

  in this?

  Best regards K Bryan

  Well... Normally, this isn't for your build... But the purple screen you have looks remarkably similar to this:

  http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC&docType=kc&externalId=2038767&sliceId=1&docTypeID=DT_KB_1_1&dialogID=547930176&StateID=1%200%20547936335

  Your ESXi comes it up/stay up at all or is this completely down? ... If you have access, you could test with this setting... But as I said, normally if your version is higher than that it should be resolved.

• Purple screen of death vmware - Dell PowerEdge R410

  Hello

  I have a few questions on VMware Infrastructure.

  I use two hosts ESXi with ESXi 5.0.Dont have Vcenter Server.

  1. can I update H/W version of virtual machines without Update Manager or Vcenter Server. Y at - there a patch available to update the Version of virtual machines?

  Should I update ESXi host first 5.0 to 5.1, and then update the hardware version of the virtual machines.

  2. I get as a GROUP in a file server (Dell PowerEdge R410) was attached.it happened 7 times before, in the last 3 months.

  Please guide me for these issues.

  Thank you

  Concerning

  Pradeep

  To add to above, make sure you have the latest version of the tools VM installed on your comments before the upgrade virtual hardware.

  You can also patch your host without Update Manager - download patches, copy them to the host and run it from the DCUI;

  software esxcli vib install path_to_bundle.zip d

  I would recommend to patch the hosts first for your do you get the latest version of the tools, then upgrade the tools of the guest, and then upgrade the virtual hardware.

  See you soon,.

• 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.

• 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?

  It seems that you might have the same problem, as described in this thread - http://communities.vmware.com/message/2200195#2200195.

• 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?

• Purple screen after installing ESXi 4, pf exception (14) in the world

  Hello

  I get a purple screen after starting the esxi host 4. I get the following exception: exception (14) in the xxxx world pf

  I tried the esxi version 4 with update 1 and without. both had the same problem...

  The server is a "new" hp proliant dl120g6...

  Does anyone have an idea to solve this problem?

  Hello

  Welcome to

  Everything seems to point to the sfcbd process (CIM providers). But it is a hypothesis. All this :).

  Running a version of esxi HP custom computers no HP support can produce weird effects. For this reason, it is highly public using this type of installation.

  I'm not really an alternative for what you want. To monitor (in a tight way) on esxi, you must use a supported HP computer. If this isn't the case, you must use a version of esxi vanilla without waterproof hardware monitoring.

  Please, remember to mark a useful or appropriate response.

  Best wishes / Saludos.

• ESXi 3.5 purple screens / plant

  I have an esxi 3.5, that keeps "purple screening" / accidents. The server runs only one virtual machine and the 'collision model' is: server runs for a few days and then crashes

  The material is a HP proliant box.

  This has happened both 3.5 U2 and U3 3.5 (with all the latest patched/upgraded).

  Patterns of errors in the paper (attached) does not correspond to those indicated in KB: 1008130 (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1008130( )

  Well, you might want to change the memory on the system. Or at least run Memtest. HP also has a bootable CD of diagnosis that you could run against the system.

• ESXi 4.0 Update 2 guests can present a purple screen after vCenter Server is upgraded to 5.0

  The KB article http://KB.VMware.com/selfservice/search.do?cmd=displayKC & docType = kc & externalId = 2007269 said that with the 4.1 update 2, you will discover a purple screen after the upgrade of the server vCenter.

  Does anyone know if all 4.1 < U3 are also affected?  What about 4.0?  I need to know if I should plan a lot of upgrades to the host before our upgrade to vCenter.

  Thank you!

  from my understanding, it's just bound to 4.0U2, however, you can provide feedback to the KB article.

• Why is it called 'Blue Screen of Death?'

  Why is the Windows crash screen called the 'Blue Screen of Death"when some people who don't know much about computers think that a BSoD means a blue screen that kills you when it's really just an error message?

  Hello

  The BSOD made his first appearance in 1987 during the beta of IBM "Operating System/2 (OS/2) developed to lattice, stir; the developer of the first OS/2 and Windows compilers. The STOP error screen hit the OS/2, when developers were porting to other tools of lattice, Inc. over the internet. The reason behind the error seems to be bugs (it means vices or defects in more technical terms) in the OS/2 software. While giving the error description of IBM (informally known as "Big Blue", then), developers of lattice, Inc., called the error like "Blue Screen of Death", combining colour with IBM and an appearance at the dead screen that comes not depart without rebooting.

  Another story, it's that the BSOD error was originally a "Black Screen of Death" (as some say) instead of "Blue Screen of Death". The term BSOD was initially given its name by Ed Brown in mid-1991. Ed Brown was then an IT technician with Coca-Cola Company, Atlanta, Georgia, United States. Ed Brown reported that the error has hit when the company implemented (Windows 3.0 operating system) in the world of Marketing Group, and the users when you try to run "WordPerfect" would randomly get BISOD error screen. The error would display a completely black screen with a cursor blinking in the upper left corner. This would happen when a user tried to run a DOS application and eventually got stuck with the BSOD error. The system had no escape from the BSOD error until it is restarted.

  The BSOD error is usually written in white text on a blue background.
