Reading Time: 3 minutesSeems that there are still some issues with vSphere 6.5, with a possible PSOD (Purple Screen Of the Death) after upgrade to 6.5U1 on ESXi hosts using 10 Gbps NICs. The VMware KB 2151749 describe this issue and explains that this occurs because Netqueue commit phase abruptly stop due to the failure of hardware activation of a Rx queue.

Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter replacing the SAS card on some ESXi 6.5 nodes, I’ve got a strange issue in the vSAN cluster.
