vmWare Host Agent (vmware-hostd.exe) service allways hangs at startup on Windows Server 2003
Machine is an IBM Blade Server Windows Enterprise Server 2003 32 bit
vmware Server 2 installation was successfull.
all other vmware services start and stop properly (DHCP, NAT, Authorization Service, Web Access.
Machine is:
Intel Xeon CPU E5430 @ 2.66, 8GB RAM 2 CPU's 4 Cores per CPU
Machine has a SAN (Qlogic Fibre Channel LSI Adapter 3000 series 4-port with 1064E -StorPort
Machine has 2 usb devices attached:
TEAC FD-05PUB USB Device (FDD)
HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8082N USB Device (DVD ROM)
Reading logs seems something related to SCSI Address... or maybe related do CDROM.
Allways hangs at same point.
Tested detaching usb devices and starting service, service hangs at the same point.
Any idea or advice apreciated. Thanks id advance.
