Hello:
We have a recently purchased Dell PowerEdge 720 running ESXi 4.1.0 502767 running 1 virtual machine. We have 8 900GB SAS drives attached in RAID5, with 3 VDs (datastores) of size 1.82 TB (due to 2TB limitation of ESXi 4) running on a PERC H710 Integrated RAID Controller . Every few days (usually around a week), the host stops responding to any networking probing whatsoever, and the VM stops responding as well. The console still functions and appears normal. I noticed that the drive lights on the actual server are illuminated, but there is no disk activity. A reboot resolves the issue for another week. I've taken some photographs (attached) of the /messages log, perhaps some of you can help decipher what's happening before we put this server in production. Thanks for any assistance.
