Hi.
I using esxi 5.1.
When I try boot virtual machines it fails
Cannot power on machine_name on node. A general system error occurred:
Description:
The virtual machine failed to power on
Possible causes:
Cause: Virtual machine power-on attempts can fail because the virtual machine is already in a powered-on state, concurrent operations are running on the virtual machine, and so on.
Action: Check the reason in the event message to find the cause of the power-on failure and fix the problem.
Also in vSphere Client in events I see same messages like
The file table of the ramdisk 'root' is full. As a result, the file /var/spool/snmp/1422608029_6_9006_232.trp could not be created by the application 'hostd-worker'.
end
The file table of the ramdisk 'root' is full. As a result, the file /var/run/vmware/tickets/vmtck-d0a9ad8b-6ed5--45 could not be created by the application 'ticket'.
I can't connect to server via ssh or esxi shell. Because, this services is stopped. Whet I try to run it, (via DCUI or vSphere client) it say then started, but they don't.
When I refresh service list, I see that this services is stop.
whet i run esxicli, i see:
>esxcli --server node1.msch125.ru system visorfs ramdisk list

How to fix this problem?
Hi,
I think, this issue could be caused by the fact that ESXi is running out of inodes. Try restarting the services again from DCUI and validate the logs from it.
Please refer to the KB: http://kb.vmware.com/kb/2040707 which addresses this issue.
Also refer to http://www.yellow-bricks.com/2013/01/07/esxi-5-x-host-disconnected-from-vcenter/
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

I have same problema, power on virtual machine direct in ESXi host.
