ESXi Core Dump

You can extract the core dump if you so wish!

Not sure what you are going to do with it, best escalate to VMware Support, unless you are a specialist in this area.

PSOD are usually caused by:-

1. faulty hardware
2. faulty drivers
3. E1000/VMXNET3 bug
4. Bug in the Kernel

Update firmware and ESXi build version on the host.

Can you reproduce the crash ?

yes,,,only VMware can decipher it.,

if i recall, core data is saved until the next crash...

I can update firmware and also upgrade the host to the latest 6.0 version

not sure it just happened,,,i have to boot it up,,,,,

The "trick" is if it can be reproduced, or happens all the time!

yes,,,i will check and report back

Hello,

Similarly, I recommend you do a review at the hardware level on your server. To rule out a hardware failure.

Do you have support with your physical hardware provider? What servers do you use?

Greetings.

We do not have VMware Support .  This is a test and eval server.


System was rebooted yesterday at about 5 PM. 

So far it is staying up.  

I puled over the ESXi logs to a PC and can check them, although not sure how much info they will show pertaining to the crash. 

Hello

consider. Please let us know if there is any strange behavior.

It also validates if there are alarms at the hardware level on the server.

you can share the printer of the registry here, to see them.

regards..

The server has not experienced any further issues.  The logs did not show anything that indicated a shutdown.,

It may have been a one off event .

At this point, we are monitoring the server.

np

So far, no more core dumps.  It may have been a one off event,,,,

We will continue to monitor ....hope for the best!

Please select a solution and close.

still no change,  so we can assume it was a one off event,,,,

hopefully... unless you can reproduce difficult to come to a conclusion.

Another purple screen event on the same serve,,

I pulled the below info from the core dump.....vrli-1 is our vRelaize Log Insight VM.
I don't recall if i saved the last core dump to check if a similar issues occurred ,,,
