PSOD will cause network impact

[fred104104]

Recently, I got PSOD from my two of my esxi servers. These two server are with two different hardware and they are within different network.

When PSOD occurred, all the other physical clients within same lan will gradually get disconnected before restarting. Any ideas why PSOD causes network impact?

Find out any collision domain happening due to PSOD on each network that ESXi hosts exist. Chances of corrupted NIC driver creates flooding of packets in a network and that leads to PSOD.

Hi!

First of all - find what caused your PSOD.

Network flood can and related PSOD happen beacause of outdated Emulex driver.
