Ensure the VM Memory settings are allocated properly. This happened to me where the VM would not startup and it is because I had increased the memory of EACH VM but forgot to change the memory management settings such as: "Total Memory allocated to VM" and also you should check the box that states "Allow some swapping to hard disk"tonka.taylor wrote:
The servers I am connecting to both run ESXI 5 (one a clean install and one an upgrade from ESXI 4, but both suffer the problem). The hardware is a Dell PowerEdge SC440 (1 * Dual Core XEON 2.13GHz CPU, 4Gb RAM, 2 * SATA disks) and a Dell PowerEdge T100 (1 * Quad Core XEON 2.83GHz CPU, 8Gb RAM, 1 * SATA disk). The active VMs are mostly Windows Server 2003 32-bit together with various flavours of Linux (Gentoo, Ubuntu, etc - all 32-bit).
The client running WS8 is a 6-Core AMD Phenom II 2.8GHz CPUI, 16Gb RAM, 3 * SATA disks) running Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. The local VMs are a mix of Windows XP Pro SP3, Windows 2003 Server and Ubuntu Linux.
I have also attached the log files since the problem was replicated this morning.
