Hi,
I have installed ESXi 5.1 on an IBM xSeries x100 Tower server.
2 x 80GB drives in raid 1
5GB Ram
Intel Pentium D Processor 920
I have been trying to get it up and running with 2 Virtual machines (server 2003 and server 2008) but have been facing issues.
The installs for both 2003 and 2008 went fine however server 2008 when left running seems to completely crash vmware leaving me with a purple diagnostic screen that means nothing to me and googleing does not seem to provide any definitive answer other than it might be your processor or it might be your configuration. I have not seen 2003 do this (but I have only tested to see if 2008 on its own would cause the dump)
Can anyone shed some light on what might be causing the crash? I have attached the diagnostic screen below.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
