Welcome to the forums.

PSOD are usually related to hardware. Help on interpreting PSOD http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005184

Is the Blade firmware up to date?

I would use the HP diagnostics and memtest. http://memtest.org

Hi,

Thank for fast respond, my blade was update new firmware update. but still PSOD

[DSTAVERT]

Like I said PSOD is hardware errors. Use the HP diagnostics (part of SmartStart CD I think). Also run memtest to make sure memory is OK. Make sure memory is installed in correct banks and in the correct order according to HP specs. If you have any NON HP parts try removing them.

... just in case the HP tools don't work, try using the corresponding IBM tools and configuration guidelines

Hi,

Thank for the advice, I will try, BTW HS22 is IBM BladeCenter, i will check memtest for IBM tools.

Thank DSTAVERT

Sorry about the HP reference. I have been answering several HP related questions in the past while. Do use the IBM diagnostics. HP won't help much.

Good luck let us know what you find.

Hi All,

Memtest successful, no error msg appear,

Any solution ?

you can see the dump file in root partition. the file name looks like vmware-zdum-*.log files under /root. Use the vmkdump command to extract the file. It will give basic information of the crash. Thanks!
