Windows 2012 vm are rebooting after regular interval.
Event type kernel-power was found in event viewer.
After we re-installed the vmware tools and monitored the server we found the win 2012 vm is not rebooting.
Has anyone faced such issue. ??
Hi
Welcome to the communities.
Its good to know that problem has been resolved ,
I have gained few experience problem getting resolved after installing hot fix and few tools.
Ok. But does vm,ware tools can cause server reboot at regular intervals..:smileyconfused:
i dont think so.....
Still figuring out what might have caused windows server 2012 to reboot at regular interval.
I had this same problem if you do a full installation of vmware tools it installs the vShield driver which caused my Windows 2012 servers to randomly reboot several times a week. I actually had to view the windows dump file using WinDbg to find that the crash was caused by a memory leak with the vShield drver. So, if you remove the current install of tools and just do a typical install, yes it would solve your problems because that driver does not get loaded on a typical install. Also with ESXi 5.5 Update 2 the vShield driver is not packaged anymore with tools, so it shouldn't be an issue going forward.
