Hi BZ,
Do you know what was happening at the time of the crash? We have a very similar environment to the one that you have outlined and we have had 3 PSOD since October 7 2010. At the time of our incidents, we were install a VMworld Best of show backup product on 2 occasions and the 3rd incident was out of the blue so know one will admit to doing anything. We are leaning towards a hardware fault but no
The only difference is we are running ESXi 4.1 260247. And we have a virtual connect/Flex 10 network layer.
I cant help you with finding the file, sorry, but if you run this command you should be able to see if the host has a dump location setup and active
esxcfg-dumppart --server --username root -l
All i need to do is work out how to see this location and determine if the zdump file exists. Any ideas?
I have a call open with HP that has been escalated to VMware (SR# 1599368741) but all that they have said is to setup the scratch partition and hope it happens again. Not the best position to be in....
HP said to run the Offline Hardware diagnostics, which come back clean. So all i can do now is wait. If i get any feedback from anyone i'll update the post.
