Hello,
when I try to create a snapshot on a Linux VM and startup the VM, then at any point the VM is shut down with an error in the redo log file. This happens in a timespan between instant and within 30 minutes.
Log entries:
2017-04-10T11:38:31.477Z warning hostd[D140B70] [Originator@6876 sub=Vmsvc.vm:/vmfs/volumes/58887468-d5154633-508a-1866da8572e1/Test-Linux/Test-Linux.vmx] Failed to find activation record, event user unknown.
2017-04-10T11:38:31.477Z verbose hostd[D140B70] [Originator@6876 sub=PropertyProvider] RecordOp ASSIGN: latestEvent, ha-eventmgr. Applied change to temp map.
2017-04-10T11:38:31.477Z info hostd[D140B70] [Originator@6876 sub=Vimsvc.ha-eventmgr] Event 20239 : Message on Test-Linux on testserver.local in ha-datacenter: The redo log of 'Test-Linux_1-000001.vmdk' is corrupted. If the problem persists, discard the redo log.
The failing VM is random on any Linux VM. Windows VM is not yet tested.
For testing purpose I created a new Linux VM (Debian 8) with
- 8 CPUs (1 per socket = default setting)
- 2 GB ram (reserve all guest memory)
- 2x 10 GB Thick provisioned, lazily zeroed HDD stored on iSCSI LUN
Host Environment
- Dell PowerEdge R630
- ESXI 6.5.0 (Build 4564106)
- BIOS 2.3.4
- All VM's have reserved guest memory
- iSCSI LUN has enough free space available
- RAM for VM's is enough available
Anyone has a similar behavior of the ESXi software?
Kind Regards,
Jürgen
