Please press Shift-F12 Alt-F12 to switch to the vmkernel log. Maybe this will give you a hint about what's causing the issue.

F1 gives
F12 gives
as far as I can see it goes in a look until I get the next purple
It seems an adaptec driver issue as far as I can tell. One additional thing is: one array is degraded (dealing with the vendor to have this replaced)
However this doesn't explain how this error happened before and after the upgrade (with old drivers).

Re: ESXi 6.5 stuck on Starting service vmtoolsd
As you can see the third last line, issue is with arc-cim-provider. What is the adaptec controller model in use and is the vib version installed. Switch to DCUI and check with esxcli software vib list | grep arcconf
What is maker and model of system !

Re: ESXi 6.5 stuck on Starting service vmtoolsd
It's a home server built with pieces off ebay, however it has been working non stop for 4 years now (tyan motherboard and ECC RAM)
Incidentally I have a similar server with slightly different motherboard but identical controller. I'm now verifying what's on that server driver/CIM/arcconf wise to make sure the same versions are used on this other troublesome device.
This is what the working server reports:
And this is my custom build:

Re: intel ept ?
Hi,
If you are using a version superior than Workstation 12.5 your VM maybe can't boot up.
Check this thread where it was discussed: This host does not support "Intel EPT" hardware assisted MMU virtualization

Re: Questions about VCP6-DCV
Hi,
Let me answr your questions:
- You should the take the path for the VCP 6.7 which is the latest version, if you never touched nothing related with VMware I suggest to go first for the VCA-DCV.
Check the official webpage: Certification - For the VCP-DCV you need to attend an official course, there is no other way as it is a requirement. For the VCA-DCV a course is not required.
- Your certification will expire in 2 years from the date you passed the exam.
Hope this helps.

Keyboard and mouse inactive with fusion 10
Hello,
After installing Vmware fusion 10 with windows 7 virtual machine on Mac Book-pro using Mojave 10.14.1, the keyboard and mouse are inactive.
I cannot use my keyboard. After sending CTRL-ALT-SUPP command, I cannot write my user and password. No activity on my keyboard.
Thanks to help me.

Re: ESXi 6.5 stuck on Starting service vmtoolsd
This is odd, the problem still persists and the command suggested:
esxcli software vib list | grep arcconf
gives no output. Also if I reduce the command to:
[root@blue:~] esxcli software vib list
Connection failed

Re: after vMotion VM cannot ping in the same subnet for active -active Datacenter
It sounds like you have a networking issue, not an ESXi issue. But without seeing your full topology, it's impossible to tell where.

I see. Can you check /etc/init.d/hostd status. Start if require.

Re: CPU usage % and MHZ
Thanks dbalcaraz,
This chart for a VM. Does it mean the VM use 100 % of the physical CPU?
I thought this chart for how much the application or the guest OS utilizing the vCPU.
Am I right ?

Re: LACP and bandwidth
Thanks sk84,
So the both NICs are active that is why you LBT is active-active ?
On LBT can one VM send traffic through the 2 uplinks ? Will the VM mac will be presented to the 2 upstream switches for LBT use case?

Re: ESXi 6.5 stuck on Starting service vmtoolsd
[root@blue:~] /etc/init.d/hostd status
hostd is running.
I just attempted 2x different type of upgrade
1) standard ESXi ISO ->> it doesn't see the adaptec raid as expected
2) with custom ISO but adding only adaptec drivers (no CIM provider or arcconf)
this second returned to the usual issue
Gosh I'm lost.... I guess next would be to try to downgrade the Firmware... but why does it work on the other server?

Re: after vMotion VM cannot ping in the same subnet for active -active Datacenter
Sounds like you moved a lot of furniture around, this is common when things are no longer the same.
You may want to dig into mapping apps (Cisco, Wireshark, etc.).
May also consider to reverse everything you've done and retrace your steps.
I too have moved a lot of VMs and hosts around, and as long as the VM was on vmxnet3, they could also see one another.

Re: Ist VMware geeignet, alte 32bit-Programme (z.B. MS Quickbasic) auf einem 64bit Computer zu nutzen?
Danke für die schnelle Antwort! Ich bin absolut kein Experte für Computermöglichkeiten, interessiere mich aber dafür.
Es handelt sich nicht um Spiele (Quickbasic ist ein fossiles MS-Programm, mit man selbst programmieren kann), aber das macht wahrscheinlich keinen Unterschied.
Ich habe dieses und auch damit erzeugte eigene Programme unter Windows 10 in ein Unterverzeichnis der Festplatte c:\ kopiert, aber in VM wird dieses Unterverzeichnis gar nicht angezeigt. Da endet schon meine Weisheit.

Re: Need help creating RestRequest to using token/sessionID agains vCenter 6.5 RestAPI
Try with the FQDN. I've found that API calls to vCenter tend not to work well (or at all) with IP address.

Re: LACP and bandwidth

From ESXi host perspective it's active-active.
On LBT can one VM send traffic through the 2 uplinks ? Will the VM mac will be presented to the 2 upstream switches for LBT use case?
A VM NIC (vNIC) is bound to one virtual port on the (d)vSwitch portgroup. Therefore, a single vNIC will only use one uplink at a time. But it is possible that multiple vNICs of the same VM will go over multiple uplinks. So the physical switches see the MAC address of a vNIC only on one physical port.
In short: Each vNIC consumes one virtual port and uses only one host uplink.
