Hi guys,
Since two weeks we had 2 PSOD.
I do some search and the fixit is to do a upgrade to ESXi 5.1 U3
At this moment i have ESXi 5.1 U1
Can you help me ?
Yes, I would upgrade to vmxnet3 to prevent the PSOD if you are not going to upgrade ESXi version. There are performance benefits using vmxnet3 also.
Do you have Windows VMs using the E1000 network driver? Upgrade them to vmxnet3 driver.
This issue is resolved in ESXi 5.1 Update 2. Hope you see thsi article http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=205905...

We change the network adapter for VMXNET3.
Hoping that it remains functional.
Thanks
