• Purple screen

  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.

  
  

  What can cause this problem? It is the third accident in 4 months.

• 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
  • 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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.

• 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 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.

• 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.

  Hi Janey,

  Were you able to navigate on this site before?
