ESXi dump issue

Dear Sirs,

we have experienced a dump of ESXi 5.5 on two of our laboratory hosts.

Anyone experienced the same issue ?

Thanks.

Seems like you're hit by the common issue described here:

VMware KB:    VMware ESXi 5.x host experiences a purple diagnostic screen mentioning E1000PollRxRing...

Re: E1000 virtual nic on Win 2003 R2 causing PSOD on ESXi 5.1 (PF Exception 14)

Unfortunately, there is no patch for ESXi 5.5 yet. You will have to replace e1000 vNICs with the vmxnet3 vNIC or disable RSS inside the Guest OSes if possible.
