ESXi Upgrade to 6.7 U1 causing VMs to restart

Hey guys,

We have recently upgraded ESXi on all our servers in the cluster from ESXi 6.5 to ESXi 6.7 Update1 (EP7 build) and since then we are seeing issues on multiple VMs (linux vms) that are randomly getting restarted. These reboots were seen since the upgrade and also during vMotion of vms to other hosts during the upgrade. Even today, 4 days after the upgrade, some VMs are rebooting with the below error.

The error we have seen in the events are

vmware esx unrecoverable error (vcpu-2) vmk: unable to decompress BPN (I've attached a screenshot as well)

Has anyone come across this?

Cheers,

Onil Varghese

Hi Onil,

Thanks for the link. So have you tried 6.7 U3 yet and if yes, are you still facing the same issue ?
