Automatic shutdown of virtual machine in workstation

[hufan666]

Sorry' I'm not good at english.

Hello

my workstation product version is15.0.2.I installed four virtual machines of CentOS system.Whenever I start the virtual machine for a few hours, it always shuts down automatically.

I'm at a loss for what else to try. I rely on VMware Workstation.I attach my Workstation and VM logs.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

What is your host OS?

What exactly is shutting down automatically? (the guest OS, the VM, Workstation, or the host OS)

And do you mean a shutdown or a crash of some sort?

hello  

my host os is  Linux 3.10.0-1062.el7.x86_64 CentOS Linux release 7.7.1908 (Core)

I think it's the crash of the VM

Every time I reboot the VM, it crashes in a few hours

Your VM is losing its connection to its X server on the host:

2020-05-11T21:57:47.178+08:00| svga| E105: PANIC: XINFO IO fatal error.

You are using a very interesting X server:

2020-05-11T19:54:16.183+08:00| mks| I125: XINFO  ServerVendor: "Moba/X"

2020-05-11T19:54:16.183+08:00| mks| I125: XINFO VendorRelease: 11603000

I have never seen that before!  Neat!

If you are running Workstation inside an X session which is forwarded to a remote host, the network will need to be absolutely reliable, because any brief disconnection will cause a crash like this.

Check the Centos host logs to see if it mentions any problems with network connectivity at around the time of the crash.  If the Moba X server also keeps logs, check those too in case they describe a problem interrupting the connection.

Thanks,

(EDIT: Minor clarification: It is the host's X server that we are talking about, which in this case will be running on a separate Windows machine, not the guest's X server which runs inside the VM.)
