Hi,
after running our inhouse system for years without any problems, now one guest (WIN SBS2003) crashes randomly.
The following error is logged:
*Message from *** : *** VMware Server internal monitor error *** vcpu-0:ASSERT vmcore/vmm/main/irq.c:72 bugNr=2293*
I am running out of ideas, so any help would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
Marc
Environment:
Vmware Server 2 - Build 122589
The used host os is Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 7) running on a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 8Gb of ram.
Used kernel version: 2.6.9-78.0.17.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Mar 5 04:58:34 EST 2009 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
All data is stored on Dell MD1000 (SAS).
Virtual hardware has been upgraded to version 7.
All drivers are up to date. Recommended dell patches haven been applied.
