This keeps happening when i attempt to clone a virtual machine to a template either directly to a esx server or to the pool, my setup is below.
VirtualCenter v2.5.0 build 103682
Windows Standard Server R2 2003 32bit
ESX Pool v3.5.0 build esx-3.5.0_update2-110268
3x Tyan TX48 Servers
Motherboard: S4882
Storage Adapter: LSI MegaRAID SCSI 320-0X (530) Raid 1
2x 16TB NAS
Open-E v5.0
3ware 9650
ISCSI LUNS for Storing Virtual Hard Disks
Did you never run Memtest on those servers?
No i hav'nt as it can clone a Windows Server 2003 vm into a template but fails when i choose a Windows XP Professional vm.
Hi,
I have tried the same scenario with and without resource pool. In both the cases, the Cloning to Template went through without any PSOD / BSOD. The configuration details of my setup are as,
Hardware: IBM Server xSeries 346
Processor: Intel Xeon 3 GHz
VI Client Version: 2.5.0 Build: 119801
VMware ESX Version 3.5.0 Build: 140688
VMware VC Server 2.5.0 Build: 119598
VM: Windows XP Professional - 32bit
problem solved-
as it was the fact that vmware is built on linux which only gets tested on older releases of motherboard bios's, so i downgraded them and all is working fine, with vc, ha and drs.
