      <title>ESXi 5 - Purple Screen - Exception 14</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/ESXi-5-Purple-Screen-Exception-14/m-p/1376373#M131157</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Just recently, my ESX box has started crashing with PSOD exception 14. I thought this was being caused by 1 particular VM (as it appeared in every PSOD) but the VM isn't even running now, and it's just happened again.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I found an article on the VMware support site, but it basically suggests that I raise a support request, which I cannot do, as I don't have a support contract.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Not really sure where to go from here - can anyone point me in the right direction? I just want some way to potentially narrow down the cause.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>ESX/vSphere Running Slowly - Unable to start VMs</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/ESX-vSphere-Running-Slowly-Unable-to-start-VMs/m-p/2695028#M263147</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I noticed that one of my VMs wasn't responding, so I tried to reboot it. This caused the whole ESX host to freeze, and I had to force reboot it from the console.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;After the host came back online, vSphere was saying that one of the datastores was "dead", and the VMs stored on that data store were showing as "unknown".&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I read a support article, that suggested rebooting the host, so I did this, and when it came back up, both data stores appear as online.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Now when using vSphere, it's slow/unresponsive and when trying to poll the datastore list, it just says "Loading" for 5-10mins. I suspect there may still be an issue with the disk, but I am not sure how to proceed.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any help would be greatly appreciated.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Cheers&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <title>USB Device Disconnecting</title>
      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/USB-Device-Disconnecting/m-p/1356740#M128538</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am having a lot of trouble with an external Seagate HDD disconnecting from VMs. This message appears constantly, and I have to unplug the HDD and plug in again for it to work. Sometimes it goes for days without issue. I am thinking it could be an issue with the HDD itself, but I don't have another to test with. I was hoping someone could give me some ideas? I thought that perhaps it may be an issue with the USB driver in VMWare tools? The ESXi host is running 5.1 U2, and the VM is running 2012 R2...&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P style="padding-left: 30px;"&gt;&lt;EM&gt;15/09/2015 10:48:42 AM, Warning message on MEZ01 on ESX01 in ha-datacenter: USB device "Seagate RSS External" is no longer connected to the virtual machine.&lt;/EM&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;TThanks mate &lt;img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /&gt;&amp;nbsp; all good now. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;On another note, I still had all sorts of trouble getting to the host and its VMs. Turns out a storm caused a surge, blew a port on my switch, my Cat6 cable and the NIC in my Domain Controller. Once that was all fixed, everything seemed ok haha &lt;img id="smileyhappy" class="emoticon emoticon-smileyhappy" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-happy.png" alt="Smiley Happy" title="Smiley Happy" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;the first command returned some info for the vSwitch. The second returned nothing, the third returned details about one of my NICs (I only use one for VMware) and the fourth returned nothing also &lt;img id="smileysad" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysad" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.png" alt="Smiley Sad" title="Smiley Sad" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;See the screenshot attached for details. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am having an issue similar to a previous discussion already answered (&lt;A href="https://communities.vmware.com/message/2283756"&gt;Re: Configure Management Network Greyed out in DCUI&lt;/A&gt;)&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;All my network options are greyed out (except for reset). When I try to reset the network config, I get "Auto-configuring network... Failed"&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;i tried the suggestions in the discussion, yet nothing seems to work. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Running &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;EM&gt;esxcli network ip interface list&lt;/EM&gt; &lt;/STRONG&gt;returns nothing. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;So I ran &lt;EM style="font-size: 14px; font-family: proxima-nova, Arial, sans-serif; color: #666666;"&gt;&lt;STRONG style="font-style: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-family: inherit;"&gt;esxcli network ip interface add -i=vmk0 -p="Management Network" -M="&amp;lt;NIC MAC&amp;gt;" &lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/EM&gt;which also returned nothing. I rebooted the server - still not working. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Ideas?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <link>https://communities.vmware.com/t5/ESXi-Discussions/Unable-to-upgrade-to-5-5/m-p/2205149#M213293</link>
      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;Hi&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I didn't even think of that because this server is barely 12 months old. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Looks old like support was dropped with 5.1 U2 &lt;img id="smileysad" class="emoticon emoticon-smileysad" src="https://communities.vmware.com/i/smilies/16x16_smiley-sad.png" alt="Smiley Sad" title="Smiley Sad" /&gt;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've got some VMs running 2012 R2, and they're having issues with external USB HDDs. It disconnects on occasion, and Windows says that it can't start the device because it couldn't get its information (or something of the sort). I was hoping 5.5 would resolve this. Can you provide any assistance?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>

      <description>&lt;HTML&gt;&lt;HEAD&gt;&lt;/HEAD&gt;&lt;BODY&gt;&lt;P&gt;I am trying to upgrade from 5.1 to 5.5 but every time I try, I get to the welcome screen (Esc to Exit, Enter to Continue) and I cannot press enter or esc - nothing happens.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I've tried CD/DVD/USB, several different keyboards, nothing works. The keyboard works fine, as I am able to choose the image as a boot option in pre-boot, so it looks like its just the VMWare installer.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;I tried using the 5.5.0 image, and 5.5 update 1 - neither works.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Any ideas?&lt;/P&gt;&lt;P&gt;Thanks&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/BODY&gt;&lt;/HTML&gt;</description>
