Dell PowerEdge server reboot itself
Hello everyone,
I am pretty new to vSphere and vCenter so thank you in advance for your patience.
I recently install ESXi 7.0 and vSphere Client on our PowerEdge server, using dual-SD card module (128GB sandisk - raid 1) and install the latest DellEMC image from VMware
VMware esxi version: 7.0.2, 17867351
vCenter version: 7.0.2.00200 build number 17958471, patch name: VC-7.0U2b
Server hardware:
1/ Dual xeon silver processors
2/ 64GB RAM
3/ 2 x RAID 1, one for the system and one for the data
4/ Dual SD-card module, with 2 x 128 sandisk extreme (for installation of ESXi 7.0)
Everything works just fine. Except the following
1/ The server seems to boot iself after a while. The first time it did was every other days. Then we reinstalled it and this time, it ran for about 8 days before did another reboot itself again
2/ The time cannot be adjusted: It always use the UTC timezone even after I tried to set the time to manual or using ntp auto auto update.
3/ VCSA always said the machine is low on RAM while the RAM utilization is only less than half (30GB) with all VM (6) on
Dell support said that this is known bug from VMware ESXi that installed on SD card is not reliable with this version 7.0 at the moment
Anyone else experience this?
Thank you very much in advance
