Hi everybody,
I need some suggestions, because I have no idea anymore:
My Esxi suddenly stops working. I have to completely restart the hardware machine. No keyboard interaction is possible more, the NICs are gone - nothing. Hardware (certified):
1x Intel Xeon 4-Core E3-1220V3 3.1GHz 8MB
1x Adaptec 8805 SAS3 8x internal
1x Asus Motherboard P9D-MV
5x 2 TB SATA III WD Raid Edition 3.5" 7.2k
Before every "freeze" this shows up in the logs:
2016-03-11T13:20:06.260Z cpu3:32788)WARNING: NMP: nmp_DeviceRequestFastDeviceProbe:237: NMP device "mpx.vmhba1:C3:T0:L0" state in doubt; requested fast path sta

Nothing follows in the logs until the reboot begins.
Does anyone have an idea what this means? There are only rare information to find with google and no information regarding this special problem. Does anyone have an idea how I can track down which device "0x4108b87f5630" is?
I already updated to the lates ESXi 6, but the problem persists. I started it in 5, because it came up with 5.5. The first time the problem occurs was during the restart of a windows server 2013 R2 guest. I tried to find out, if the guest causes the error, but the error comes up also when the guest is down.
I appreciate any help! Thanks in advance.

// Edit:
Unfortunatley I have to correct myself. It seems, that some hardware is not certified - The system was running for so long, that I have it mistaken for another system. Nevertheless I appreciate help
