None of my nodes on VMware have crashed.
@Luis, can you confirm you’re running the vmxnet3 driver? It’s the default driver, you should not change it. Can you also confirm that you’re running with VMware tools enabled, and tell us a bit more about your hardware and storage topology? Questions that are relevant for this case:
- What is the hardware on your two VMhosts? (The machines hosting the VMs?
- What is the virtual hardware assigned to the VMs?
- How are you assigning
.VMDKharddisks to your VMs? - On what underlaying storage is your datastores built?
- How is the network connectivity to your VMhosts?
- And finally, what version of windows, ESXi and VMware tools are you running?
