ESX 3.5 (Update2) Failure BL460c G1 "PSOD"

[Robert Vargas O.]

Hello.

Im having trouble with a ESX Server (v 3.5 Update 2) its installed in a Bl460c.

Im attached a screenshot, its a Purple Screen, it shows a problem with the PCPU0, but i post this message for more details, i have reinstalled this server but the failure still here.

I have 2 more BL460 with the same version of ESX and i have no problems.

All the servers have the latest version of Firmware, and the Onboard Administrator as well.

Thanks for your help.

Robert, I am not totally familiar with PSOD troubleshooting but to isolate this to a suspect CPU, remove PCPU0 and replace with PCPU1. This will effectively give you 1 CPU. Reinstall VMware. If you don't receive an error during this install, you have isolated the issue to the previously-removed CPU. Replace the faulty CPU and reinstall.

All right, ill test the CPU, and let you know the results, thanks.
