I have an ESX 6.5.0 Update 2 (Build 8294253) that is a standalone host. It randomly locks up. I know it is locked up because my running VM isn't accessible, I cannot connect to the host using the web gui, and when I got to the console I cannot login. I cannot even get a response from the keyboard by pushing the num lock key. My only option is to power off the physical server and then turn it on again.
I am new to dealing with VM Logs. Is there anything I need to turn on or setup to better log what is happening? What should I be looking for in the log files and in what log file should I be looking?
I generated a support bundle from the last 2 times the server locked up so I can post logs if anyone would like to look at them.
I appreciate any help anyone has to offer.
Thank you.
