Hi All,
I been working on my storage for home server. While working on it, i been upgrading vms, patching servers firmware, etc. Now one of main server, my windows server 2012 r2 essentials vm is hanging. Seems fine for a few hours then it just completely hangs. I need to reboot the host to restart it. the normal kill methods dont do it.
I made a few changes, and dont know which one may be causing the issue.
* I upgraded the hardware level to 6.5 (vmware version 13)
* I removed a passthrough ibm m1015 raid card which had 2x wd red 6tb nas drives on it. One was used for data the other for back up.
Now I'm using an intel raid card with 1GB cache, and ssd cachecade 2 enabled. I have two 8tb red nas drives configured as solo raid 0 and created a datastore for each in esxi host. I then created 2 vmfs drives and added it to windows vm.
Here are some snipets of vmware.log when i started it up. I havent done much vm log troubleshooting so hoping someone out there has and can help out.
I'll add more logs the next time it crashes.
