Hello Members,
I am trying to build a test system on my home PC which is the following:
Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3
AMD FX-6300 6-Core
2x 8GB 1600Mhz Corsair CMV8GX3M1A1600C11
Gainward GTS450
FSP SAGA+ 400
Samsung 200GB SAMSUNG HD200HJ
Hitachi 1TB Hitachi HDT721010SLA360
Windows 8 x64
Workstation 9
No overclocking and BIOS reset to optimal settings, only IOMMU is enabled.
My testlab should be setup like this:
3 ESX 5.1 hosts within workstation (2 CPUs, 4GB RAM each)
1 Openfiler within workstation
1 Windows 2008 running vCenter Server on ESX host
1 Windows 2003 running Active directory on ESX host
The issue is that the ESXes crash often, sometimes without load, sometimes it gets stucked during vMotion, sometimes vMotion succeeds....
- I receive PSOD like:
PCPU 0: no heartbeat (0/1 IPIs received)
ESXinVM and some IDs...
- Errors like:
2013-09-23T11:57:20.046+02:00| vcpu-1| W110: MONITOR PANIC: vcpu-1:Invalid VMCB.
- A logfile snippet is attached for a similar issue.
I am getting desperate as I'd like to prepare for VCAP...
Please help, thank you.
