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. As a result, Internal data-structure of the Netqueue layer’s could go out of sync with the device and cause PSOD.

Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter replacing the SAS card on some ESXi 6.5 nodes, I’ve got a strange issue in the vSAN cluster. The vSAN was healthy and apparently working, but when I try to build new VMs wasn’t working at all, saying that there weren’t enough resources. But there was a lot of free reported space. The reason was that single node, the capacity disks where simply “not Healthy”, but reported as mounted.

This is quite annoying but also is going to fill up your log both in the ESXi hosts and in the vCenter database (are all tasks visible in the the vCenter console).
