There is nothing in the LC or system event logs to indicate that there is a problem with the hardware.įollowing some further debugging, I can now restore the situation without a reboot by running an esxcfg-rescan on the affected path. So far, 3 out of the 4 have experienced the issue. I picked another 3 servers and ran some tests on them. On the first couple of occasions when it locked up, I powered down the server from the iDRAC and it booted up fine only to fail again within a day or 2.

I could access most of the VMware UI but it timed out trying to access anything related to the devices. However, I installed it on another server and after a few hours I could not access any of the file systems from the ESXi shell. I initially installed ESXi on one of the servers and this has been working fine with no issues. The ESXi image I am using is the latest DellEMC custom image (VMware-VMvisor-Installer-7.0.0.update02-17630552.x86_64-DellEMC_Customized-A00.iso)ĮSXi is installed on the dual internal SD modules configured in RAID 1 from the factory. These disks are configured in the server with 1 global hot spare and the other 15 split into 3 x RAID5 arrays to create 3 VMFS volumes for VMs. The servers were purchased without disks (except the 2 bundled with each) so we have purchased 16 x Kingston DC500R 1.92 TB SATA SSD drives (SEDC500R/1920G). PERC H740P RAID controller connected to a 16 port BP14G backplane Internal Dual SD module with 2 x 16GB in Mirror configuration to hold ESXi installation We've recently purchased 8 x R740 servers from Dell:
