Ah, so what was that work around for? It's in their fix bulletin.   I only use the free version, so no support contract.
I thought the cache tools workaround was the fix?
Even the work around does not resolve the issue. 
thanks, I followed this guide to enable ramdisk until the patch comes out:   https://kb.vmware.com/s/article/83376?lang=en_US
Yeah, thanks for helping point that out. That fix might only be for HPE servers that I linked?
Is the update out yet to resolve this?

I just have a USB drive it boots to. What log can I check to see if it's throwing /bootbank errors?

If I go to shut down a VM, or reboot it, etc. It will hang. the VM becomes unresponsive in the GUI, cannot SSH anymore, etc. I have to reboot the host to correct the issue. I am running ESXI 7.0 Update 2a on a Dell R320. I am using the standard ISO, I recently did a clean install with no history, which did not fix it. I only have 8 VM's, and about 4-8GB each. With about 192GB available on the host. And each VM only has about 1 CPU, maybe 2. With a 20 core processor.  The issue seems to crop up after a few days of running time. I am unsure where to begin troubleshooting why it's happening. I ran the dell diagnostics, and everything came back good. 
This resolved it for me, thanks FirstSOul.
Any thoughts from anyone?
I am running esx 6.0 build 3300124 on my INTEL NUC 5i5RYH and it's working great. My onlyt caveat is ESX only sees 1.6ghz and not the full 2.7ghz if speedstep was to be disabled. I was wondering ... See more...
I am running esx 6.0 build 3300124 on my INTEL NUC 5i5RYH and it's working great. My onlyt caveat is ESX only sees 1.6ghz and not the full 2.7ghz if speedstep was to be disabled. I was wondering if ESX has the ability to pass the commands down to the BIOS to clock up the CPU? Or if it will in the future, or if the U series cpu's will never be supported? The CPU in question is i5-5250U
Is that safe? Should I do that with data that I NEED on it?

If I popped in a flash drive, and unplugged all of my hard drives, would it be possible to locate the drives after ESXi is installed, and then start pulling from those drives? Or not at all? I'd need to do that externally?

Good idea. How fast would ESXi run on a flash drive? I don't mind letting it keep one if it's quick. Is there a way to migrate everything over to ESX, or would I have to move all of the guest OS's to another machine and plop in a Physical to Virtual ISO/CD on the guest OS's on another machine running VMWare Workstation and import them to the ESXi server? I am doing this, because I figure ESXi has better performance then XP PRO -> GUEST OS does.

What would I need to do to, to make this process as easy as I ca, as seamless as I can? i have 4 hard drive, maybe you guys can advise me how to do this without losing any data. C - HOST OSWINDOWS XP PRO 64BIT, ONE GUEST OS is stored on here D - empty 1TB drive - will use for file transfering of data needed from the HOST OS. If I have to wipe the C drive. E - 1 guest OS - 1TB drive F - 1 guest OS - 1TB drive
