Hello,
I'm using ESXi 6.5.0 Releasebuild 5310538 without any problems till now.
Today i got a purple screen with exception 14.
I used the search function of this forum, read through some threads and posts and i found out that sometines its a hardware problem , sometines a software failure but it also could be (on older versions) a problem with the network card.
How can i know how to follow up on this? Any suggestions what to check or what to do?
Screenshot attached.
A cold reboot of the system solved the problem for now but i want to find the root cause.
I'll now go and collect all neccessary log files.
Thank you for your help,
Check storage adn network firmwares with vmware compatibility matrix.
Probavly one of them is a root cause of your problem.
References to vmhba1 and SCSI Adapter - I would run a diagnostic on whatever type of controller card that is, as a start point.

I checked my ESXi Version with the installed firmware of the server.
There were some incompatabilities between BIOS version/ DELL PERC controller and my installed VMware ESXi Version.
I now updated all my firmware to the latest as well as the ESXi Version to fit the compatabilities mentoined in the VMware Compatability Guide.
Since i did that there were no crashes again.
Thank you,
