We are running 4 CentOS 5.5 based VMs on VMware Server 2.0.2 running on a CentOS 5.5 host. The VMs have 1 or 2 GB of memory allocated. The host has 12 GB of ram. The host and the VMs are running 64-bit.
Weekly we run virus scans. When the VMs crash it has been within the first few minutes of staring the scan. However, we can run the scan on the VM that just crashed numerous times after bringing it back up and it will not crash. On rare occasion we have also seen the VMs crash when nothing was running on the VMs.
Has anyone seen this behavior or have a suggestion as to what is causing the issue? Currently all we have are the logs which do not provide much information.
Thank you!
