I have ESXi 5.0.0 running long time with no issues.
I had few minutes ago a power failure.
Now the ESXi will not start and instead it gives pink screen.
Attached.
Any solution?
Are you booting from a USB stick?
hodbby, is this installed version or booted from a USB drive or other medium? reboot and see if it gets sorted out....if it is a production setup, please log a case with vmware support before doing any further R&D.
No.
Hard Disk like always
No USB or other medium.
ESXi installed on hard disk.
As i wrote- it happens right after power off. I guess something got corrupted.
How can i go into commandline and fix it?
How can i delete some instances/images to maybe clear some space?
refer the URL http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=200474...
Thanks but the doc is not helpful since i cannot access my ESXI nor IP.
I have attached a video that shows the process the machine is going from boot to pink.
Your issue seems very identical to this one https://communities.vmware.com/message/2021454
/Rubeck
I can suggest two workarounds:
1. Seeing that your system is having 4GB and hopefully it is two separate dimm slots, try to replace one.
2. If this is not a production system, in boot screen, press Shift+R and rollback to previous state which would cause the img.tgz files to be reloaded.
Shift+R was empty.
Anyway i had to re-install from Live-CD while saving datastores and it is fine now.
