I have Dell T410 located in data center, running ESX 6.0.0 5224934. 64GB of RAM and 3 disks (each is physically consisting in 2 disks mirrored).
suddently after running without any problem over 2 years, ESX restarted itself yesterday 12NOV2018 at about 21.15
I have downloaded all the logs available and they are with me.
Can you advice what had happened? How to find cause of problem?
thanks for quick list to check. This computer is running in data center with all expected redundancy, power including. Firmware and ESXi build are still the same, i.e. they are old maybe, but considering that I did NO change over last 2 years in any configuration of hardware of virtual machines, I believe this should not be issue.
For Hardware - what I can see in vSphere client, all is OK.
I suspected that there could be some problem with failed drive, so I downloaded full logs from Perc raid card, but those looks quite good as well.
For logs - please advice what I should check?
PSOD? - what is it, please?
Thanks
