Machine Check Exception Vmware
for more than a year. Now we are getting the following error (see screen shot):Hardware (Machine) Error: Memory Controller Read Error.Later it says: mca error detected via polling PCPU3: 1 hardware errors seen since boot (0 errors corrected)Dell support replaced main board with memory controller, all diagnostics show no error, but the problem is still there.What could cause this problem? If it is a problem of the machine check exception decoder VM kernel, why didn't it show up before? Could this be only related to one of our VMs?We are running 3 VMs: W2003 Server, W2008 R2, and W7 32 bit. The VM in screen shot seems to be the 2003 Server.I am no export with VMWare, so any help would be appreciated.Hartmut 05-07-dell-server.jpg 273.7 K 2013Views Tags: none (add) hostContent tagged with host, vmdkContent tagged with vmdk, windowsContent tagged with windows, consoleContent tagged with console, errorContent tagged with

Re: Memory Controller Read Error - Hardware or Software Problem? hona700506 May 18, 2011 10:09 PM (in response to drhkocher) Hi , everyoneI have the same problem .I run my ESX4.1 (8VM on it ) for 6 month and the problem start to appear (1 week a time.......)the error screen is ALL the same . (only difference is my Host CPU is Xeon X5680)I dont know it is hardware problem or software problem.My hardware is Supermicro 6026-3RF (it is in the vmware compatibility List). Don't have any SAN or NAS. only run at standalone Host.MY Host is CPU X5680 x 2 , 4GB DDRIII RAM x 18 , 300GB SAS HD x 8I install ESX4.1.0 260247.Can anyone help us ??Mike Like Show 0 Likes (0) Actions 2. Re: Memory Controller Read Error - Hardware or Software Problem? Dave.Mishchenko May 18, 2011 10:17 PM (in response to hona700506) Welcome to the VMware Communities forums. The first thing I would do is take the host offline and run a memory test ( http://www.memtest86.com/ ). Let it run for 24 - 48 hours to given the system a really good test. If no errors come up you can look at a potential software issue.Dave VMware Communities User ModeratorFree ESXi Essentials training / eBook offerNow available - VMware ESXi: Planning, Impleme
and PF Exception 14 separately. Not sure exactly what the root cause is, it could be caused by a faulty hardware or software bugs. This server has been https://jackiechen.org/2013/11/11/esxi-purple-screen-message-interpretation/ running for more than 6 months, and never had such issues. Plus we have not made any changes recently, so I doubt it was caused by a faulty hardware. I ran a quick https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/376500-network-transfer-slow-on-some-vms-2008r2-esxi-5-1 memory diagnose and found nothing. Currently, I leave it running and will see what will happen next. The purpose of posting it here is to take a note of this issue. I machine check will review and update it when I have any clues. If you happened to see this before or you have a suggestion, please let me know. The updates will be added to the bottom. Part 1: ESXi version. This ESXi 5.0.0 update 2 Part 2: Error messages. Part 3: The values in the CPU register at the time of the failure. Part 4: The physical machine check exception CPU that was running an operation at the time of the failure Part 5: VMK uptime Part 6: Stack trace shows what the VMkernel was doing at the time of the failure Part 7: Core dump Updates [12/11/2013] The purple screen comes back with PF Exception 14. The stacks are different between the 3 purple screen failure, it should indicate the software is not hitting the same error. I still suspect it was caused a faulty hardware. A ticket has been opened to VMware. I found the a few MCE message saying “Memory Controller Error”. MCE (Machine Check Exception) is the output from the MCA (Machine Check Architecture) within the CPU triggered for detecting and reporting hardware errors. ~ # zcat /var/run/log/vmkernel.0.gz | grep MCE 2013-11-10T23:54:07.718Z cpu32:8224)MCE: 1278: CMCI on cpu32 bank9: Status:0x900000400009008f Misc:0x0 Addr:0x0: Valid.Err enabled. 2013-11-10T23:54:07.718Z cpu32:8224)MCE: 1282: Status bits: "Memory Controller Error."

We have a Veeam server running a nightly backup of all VMs. We have 10 VMs running plus VMware vCenter Server Appliance. 8 of the VMs are Server 2008 R2 with SP1, 1 is a Windows 7 x64 SP1 workstation and theother is a Linux-based security Appliance. 4 of the Server 2008 R2 VMs will transfer files across the network at between 80-100 MegaBYTES per second, with moderate CPU usage. However, the other 4 Server 2008 R2 VMs will max out at around 28-36 MegaBYTES per second, with 100% CPU usage. Steps I have taken: I have checked for common factors between the "slow" networking and "fast" networking Servers (herein to be referred to as "slow servers" and "fast servers" to save time) - there are none that I can see. Some of the slow servers have 2 vCores, some have 1 vCore. Likewise for the fast servers. They all have a variety of RAM allocated. There are no common services/roles between the servers, some have file services installed, some don't, one server has no roles installed at all. One of the slow servers has the E1000 network adapter installed, however, the 3 other slow servers have the VMXNET 3 network adapter installed.
