ESX Crash

[Troy_Clavell]

Can anyone help me to understand what may have caused my ESX hosts to PSOD?

ESX 3.5.0U2 (Build 110181)

VC 2.5U3

8 Nodes DRS cluster, no HA

Thanks for your help!!

Here is the DUMP and screen shot

Hi Troy,

My best guess is a memory error on bank 0

Here is why I think that.

88:20:45:24.992 cpu6:2763)ALERT: MCE: 193: Machine Check Exception: Bank 0, Status f200000410000800

And it was performing mem hashing and mem copy on write in the PSOD trap.

As you said, Upon checking the hardware in the Datacenter, it's being reported as a failed DIMM as well.

Gotta love the fact that we had 107 VM's running on that host with no HA...

Thanks for you quick response, Mike!
