this virtual machine is SQL Server 2012 with 2 cpu..
and the esx host is under HP ML 350 G5
Exception 14 PSOD is a failure to load page file into memory.
Ive seen this for 2 reasons there is some dodgy memory, or i notice you are using HP servers and iLO 2 so G5? I have seen this when you are running with HP Dynamic power saving mode .
Also make sure your running the HP bundle or the HP ESXi custom image
Edit ^^ you posted the server model while i was writing
This is a known issue caused due to E1000 adapter, you have to update your ESXi server or change the VM network adapter to vmxnet3.
check this KB http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2059053
Hi,
Yes i'm using HP iLO 2 G5?
and the esxi that is installed there is not HP ESXi custom image.
So,
what is the best approach in this case. change E1000 adapter to vmxnet3, or upgrade ESXi server.
vmxnet3 gives better performance compared to E1000, but in order to change the adapter you may have to take network downtime for all the VMs...if you can't go for that you can migrate all VMs to another ESXi server if you have any and upgrade your ESXi host(one step process)
I have got same error some day back..but it automated closed.. could find the reason so far.
Hi,
i upgraded the esxi version to 5.5 but the same purple screen appeared. then i changed the NICs on vmxnet3 and after that there was no purple screen yet...
