Did you make any recent changes? Upgrade? Driver updates?

No I didn't make any update or upgrade. I just shutdown in proper way, after after that when I turn it on it is stuck. It looks strange because I can't see any error.

I have finished last week good, I have installed some VM hosts.

Reboot the host. When the DCUI image shows up press ALT + F12 to see the vmkernel log . Send it here when you're done.

Hi,

I tried ALT+F12 but unfortunately I can't enter on vmlogs.

When I restart ESXi, first shutdown every VM hosts and after that I restart ESXi paltform.


On ESXi I have isntalled 2 x Windows Server 2012 R2 Datacenter


On one of the Windows 2012 R2 Datacenter I have had Installed vCenter Server 6.0.


ESXi platform is installed on SSD, and datacenter is installed on SAS, and I have restart many times and it stops on that screen "vprobe loaded successfully."


This platform is installed on HPE DL380 G9 Server.

Do you have more than one host in your environment? Move your VMs to another host and try to reinstall your ESXi.
