synaesthesia Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Bit of an odd one! VM host on ESXi 5.5 crashed today when we went to a website on one of the windows guests (our Impero server). Purple screen coredump. Rebooted, all fine. Got the machines back up, went to do what we did last time. Opened browser in Impero server, fine. Went to a website (our website!) - host crashed again! What on earth could cause something like that! Core dump isn't a lot of help.
penfold Posted November 10, 2014 Posted November 10, 2014 Not sure if it covers your version of ESXI but could it be related to E1000 series NIC? 1
synaesthesia Posted November 10, 2014 Author Posted November 10, 2014 Yeah, managed to find something in the KB pointing to that. Shifted it to VMXNet3 for the time being & will update to the latest version of esxi when the time allows. Seemed rather strange that such a small task on the guest would affect the whole host.
