Good Afternoon,
I have an issue I am currently experiencing. Over the past week or so my ESXi 6.0 (Host #1) starts locking up (40 VM servers). Networking ports (4 Ethernets) lock up and I lose connectivity with the host itself and all of the VMs.
The first time I could not log in via the UI to shutdown the VMs inside and I at the time did not know how to shut them down using the CLI so it was hard rebooted. The VMs came back up luckily however I was sweating what damage could have taken place. The screen turned pink (or whatever that color is and then there was a Coredump information. I have yet to conduct full research on what that entails.
The second time it locked up which was two days later I was relieved to know that vMotion had pushed all the VMs to the ESXi Host #2 and again received the Coredump information.
Could my server be dying? It is a HP Proliant DL580 G7.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed
