machine(s) keeps crashing

[cant_fork]

Hi All,

I have a virtual machine that keeps crashing when I move it into a new host (ESXi 5.5.0 build-3343343) I have introduced, its a HP host.

The vmware.log is showing the following  at time of crash:

MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-3:EPT misconfiguration: PA 41f7dc000

2016-02-16T15:20:37.745Z| vcpu-0| I120: Core dump with build build-3343343

2016-02-16T15:20:37.745Z| vcpu-2| I120: Exiting vcpu-2

2016-02-16T15:20:37.745Z| vcpu-0| W110: Writing monitor corefile "/vmfs/volumes/565583c7-773959d9-1f5c-001145666214/win-serv-print/vmmcores.gz"

I found a kb relating to updating the BIOS/Firmware but I have the latest firmware installed.

VMware KB: Virtual machines abruptly shut down with an error similar to: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-0:EPT m...

Any Ideas?

Regards,

Jim

You'll probably want to open an SR with GSS to get that coredump analyzed.

Otherwise, are the source and target hosts running the same ESXi version? Is that VM using the E1000 or VMXNET3 ethernet adapter? Does it happen each time you vMotion that VM? Does it only happen on that new host or can you reproduce it on other hosts? What about if the VM is powered off?

This strongly points to a hardware issue on your CPU. Please see VMware Knowledge Base
