Unless there is a licensing constraint at the guest OS level, you can go with either 1 socket + 16 cores or 2 sockets + 8 cores. Cheers, Supreet

I think you can go with Haswell EVC mode - Cheers, Supreet

I don't think there is any restriction with respect to disk and memory. With respect to CPU, you can have a max. of 8 vCPUs per VM. Cheers, Supreet

Uploaded log bundle is not complete. vmkernel.log should report some errors with respect to the local and NFS datastore. Cheers, Supreet

While it is loading, do you see any errors in the vmkernel.log? Just to isolate, upgrade the host client to the latest version and check once. Cheers, Supreet

This is applicable for ESXi 6.7 - VMware Knowledge Base. Currently, the only workaround is to manually restart the SNMP service as and when it stops. As per the known issues in the recently released ESXi 6.7 U1, looks like this is still an ongoing issue and might be fixed in the upcoming releases - VMware ESXi 6.7 Update 1 Release Notes Cheers, Supreet

As already mentioned by dbalcaraz, vmware.log records events related to machine activity, system failures, hardware changes, migrations, status and so on. It helps us in various scenarios such as VM going unresponsive, migrations failing, issues related to snapshot, BSOD, etc. In short, anything and everything that is related to the specific VM. Cheers, Supreet

Can you share the complete screenshot of the PSOD screen? Cheers, Supreet

AFAIK, it could be any of the virtual machines (irrespective of the guest OS) running on ESXi, Fusion and Workstation platforms. Cheers, Supreet
