BladeSystem Gen8 Severs and VMware question
VMware question from Jean-Yves:
***********
Hi Expert
One of my customer is facing an issue with ProLiant Gen 8 servers under Vmware ESXi. The VMs freeze from time to time
The solution is to deactivate in the BIOS the Energy Economy ! Is someone aware of that issue ?
Is there a Bios version that correct this bug?
Thanks for your help
***********
Reply from Bob:
**************
Consider reading the Technical Whitepaper "Configuring and tuning HP ProLiant Servers for low-latency applications"
There are also various VMware guest settings that reduce the abstraction and make them closer to the hardware that could possibly lead to anomalies.
You could be having a problem related to changing of clock frequencies.
If your network adapters are high performance, there are numerous possibilities for packet skew that can hang a guest.
If you have a guest that is performing the backups of other servers, you should consider de-virtualizing it.
**********
I seem to remember that you always wanted the BIOS settings to be set to "High Performance" and not use any power saving settings with VMware.

Re: BladeSystem Gen8 Severs and VMware question
So..
How did you go with the case Chuck ?
Does the VMware vSphere using DPM to standby the server as well or just make all of those ESXi servers up and running using the highest performance BIOS power profile ?
I'm also curious to know it as well.
