Hello,
I am running an ESXi Hostsystem at a german provider (Hetzner) with just 3 VM guests at the moment. Since the beginning i had troubles because ESXi stopped responding:
* Guest systems not responding
* Host system could not be connected using VSphere Client
* SSH using putty connected to server BUT root login did not work (= Access Denied)
I even tried to look on the console but the screen was blank (just the starting information how to manage the host) and I was not able to login to ESXi using the console (there was no response either).
What I did so far:
* I took a look in syslog, vmkernel Logfiles but did not see any failures that could bring the esxi host to stop servicing my requests
* i patched ESXi to the actual build
* upgraded bios (newest installed now)
* did a hardware check (=all OK)
As soon as I restart (power of / power on) the host and its guest start normally.
Where can i take a look what happend with the SSH logins at the time of the "crash" - do you have any advices how to debug this behavior? It gets a little bit frustrating at the moment
Thanks for your help
Patric
