Hi guys,
Recently I upgrade my ESXi box from 4.0 to 5.1.
After some vague problems (see: http://communities.vmware.com/message/2179808#2179808 ) the server seems to be running stable now.
This morning I discovered that one of my virtual test machines was not running.
I tried to power in on and got the message
"A general system error occured: The Virtual machine could not start"
After playing around a bit with this and turning off some other machines the virtual machine did start.
So far so good i thought but then I discovered that my machine that was running previously, is not starting anymore.
I have 20 GB of memory installed and only have 4 machines running
VM1 : 1024 MB
VM2 : 2500 MB
VM3 : 2048 MB
VM4 : 1680 MB
Total : 7252 MB
There should be more than enough memory available.
Also on disk there is more than 100 GB of free disk space.
What could be the source of this? When I was running 4.0 I could run these machines simultanous without any problems.
Anything that I can check to see what is causing this?
Any thoughts are appreciated
Remko
