Did anybody else experience CPU thermal issues after patching to latest ESX 7.0b 16324942 build?
I'm using Supermicro SYS-E300-9D-8CN8TP with Xeon D-2146NT. BIOS 1.3
CPU temperature goes berzerk during ESX boot. Same host on Ubuntu-Live CD is fine.
4 hosts affected. 3 with critical temperature >98C and one >80C. Problem occured right after patching and host reboot. Cluster was fine on 7.0 GA.
I noticed there was a microcode update included.
Read details on findings here: https://www.elasticsky.de/en/2020/07/strange-thermal-issue-after-update-to-esxi-7-0b/
I guess it's system specific. Yet the E300-9D is HCL compliant.
Can anyone confirm?
TIA
Michael
