I have a new HP DL380 gen10 server. I have 2 1TB drives setup with raid 1. Vm shuts down every couple of days. I Just have one vm - Windows server 2016. I am running 6.7.0 (Build 8169922). I've generate a support bundle which I've attached. Can someone try help with the logs. Last shutdown was on the 23/05/2019 between 2AM and 9AM.
I am totally new to ESXi. I didn't install someone else did, so if you need more logs please let me know
Has your trial period of Server 2016 expired? If the VM is turning itself off and the host is fine, this is most likely the cause.
Windows is Activated.
I really need some help with this server. I have to reboot the host every night to keep Vm from shutting down.
Is the VM being shutdown by the ESXi host or within the guest OS?
ESXi host is shutting down the server. When I start the server I get the notification that the server was not shutdown correctly.
Can you share vmware.log at the time VM was powered off by host.
My first post has logs attached also has the times of shutdown
If you need any other information please let me know
Please upload only VMware.log files.

As per the below KB CPU reset: soft/hard initiate by USER or API.
Please check if you have any script running to power off the VM.
Please share the hostd and vmkernel.log as well.
