Blue screen in the esxi

Hello,

I currently have two blades running ESXi 5.5.0 clustered.

Recently one of them presented this error screen, I have never seen a host present this error. Someone has already seen this error.

This VMware Knowledge Base  is the issue. Either upgrade the ESXi host to the latest version in the 5.5 tree (would recommend going to 6.0 and above since 5.5 is reaching end of support this September) or remove all the E1000 NIC adapters in the environment and make the VMs use the VMXNET-3 adapters.

Cheers,

Supreet

Yes, your ESXi host is horrendously outdated when it comes to patches. That is the 5.5 GA release from almost 5 years ago. At this point, if this is a business or otherwise supported environment, you need to get off 5.5 immediately. End of general support for vSphere 5.5 is in two weeks. Rather than patch up ESXi, you really need to be looking at an upgrade.
