Hi, I have an esxi hypervisor on a DL380G5. Hypervisor is esxi 5.0 U3 (build 3086167). Cannot install 5.5 because the physical host supports until esxi 5.0.
When I power on a windows 7 VMs created with multicore cpu configuration (1 socket, 2 or more cores), randomly it shows BSOD reporting multi processor not supported. I figured out that this problem is related to the stepping model of physical cpus installed in the HP host. In fact if I set CPU affinity on the VM, telling it to use cores with the same stepping model, the vm boots always without BSODs.
This is a workaroud. Is there a solution?
Thank you,
Francesco B.
