I dont know this issue,Is it related to automatic shutdown?

The vmkernel logs report a warning containing LinChar and LinuxCharWrite (1017523)

Power Management BIOS Settings

VMware ESXi™ includes a full range of host power management capabilities. These can save power when an ESXi host is not fully utilized. You should configure your BIOS settings to allow ESXi the most flexibility in using the power management features offered by your hardware and then make your power management choices within ESXi. The following are a few important points to keep in mind:

By setting power management or Power Profile in the BIOS to “OS control mode” or the equivalent, you can enable ESXi to control some of the CPU power-saving features directly (for example, performance states or DVFS). For example, to achieve this on an HP ProLiant DL580 G7 system, go to the Power Management Options HP Power Profile and then select Custom. Then go to Power Management OptionsHP Power Regulator and select OS Control Mode/

As a primary troubleshooting step, you need to check IMS log on ILO homepage if there hardware warnings or critical alarm.
