• 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.

  Computer is an old Dell 2950 with dual processor and controller LSI Megaraid scsi has only run vmware for a few months and right, stressed again, but I was hoping to stress it.

  Reading the posts, I need to update the drivers and bios (mboard and controllers)?    Assuming that the Symantec question is a question of symantec?

  Hi Matt,

  Your LSI controller is listed here: VMware Compatibility Guide: search for i/o device

  Then you can check and download the right driver?

• 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

  Hello

• 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?

• 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
  • Controller: IBM M1015 reflashed to LSI-9210-8i (2108it.bin firmware Version: 16.00.00.00 release date: February 27, 13, BIOS-7, 31)

  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.

• 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?

• VMware ESXi 4.0 startup screen Purple: 14 Exception PF world 9154?

  Hello

  I'm a VMware ESXi start purple screen: 14 Exception PF world 9154.

  This server running exchange 2010 on vmware esxi 4.0.0 update 2 on an HP DL180 G6 server.

  I downloaded and installed year HP ESXi Offline Bundle for VMware ESXi 4.0 Update 2 patch to be able to monitor this server from my HP System Insight Manager server (which monitors all servers) (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en & cc = us & prodTypeId = 5351 & prodSeriesId = 1121516 & swItem = MTX-7ba9a9031d7e4a41ad65f038e0 & prodNameId = 3288134 & swEnvOID = 4040 & swLang = 8 & taskId = 135 & mode = 4 & idx = 1).

  The hotfix installation completed successfully. However, after that I restarted ESXi, I started getting this error PF Exception 14 with a bunch of numbers and codes.

  At this stage I don't know how I can fix. Any help will be grateful!

  In the meantime you can restore the previous version before upgrading. Press
  SHIFT + R when you get the hypervisor loading screen. You will be asked to OK rollback.

• 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 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.

• 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.
