October 26, 201312 yr He there guys, i'm desperate... My (new) server keeps crashing. I have been running ESXi 5.1 for a few months now with Unraid and a couple of Windows7 vm's. Until 2 weeks ago completely crash free. Before that Unraid ran on an AMD sempron for a year, also problem free. I have had some disk errors in the past, but those disks have been replaced by new ones after a preclear. My (new) Rig: I have 13 data disks (a variation of 1tb/2tb/3tb, 33tb in total without parity) and a new 4tb WD Red parity drive on a supermicro X9SCM-IIF mb, cpu Intel Xeon E3-1230v2 and 16gb memory. Cache drive: an old 400gb raid edition has been removed since the crashed, but is not the problem. I have two IBM M1015 controllers (flashed) and one SAS2LP-MV8, all in passthrough, all working. Memtest ran for at least 1 day, no errors. I precleared the new parity in my old system twice, no errors found. But when i try to sync the new parity running virtual or bare metal Unraid locks up the whole server, i think near the end. I've been testing with stock unraid, no plugins what so ever. Server has now been running for 2 days without a parity and without a crash. When unraid crashes under esxi it also locks the other vm's, vspere client cannot connect anymore and with keyboard/monitor on the server no response. Unraid on bare metal also locks the server, no telnet, no webgui, not even a response with a monitor/keyboard straight on the server. Log file cannot be captured anymore because of the crash. Only thing I can do is reset and boot again, no problems with booting. Again, the whole esxi server has run flawlessly for a couple of months... Anyone who has an idea of whats going on I want this thing up and running again, with parity...
October 26, 201312 yr immediately after the crash check the BIOS for CPU temps, etc. what Power Supply are you running? by the entire system locking (VM, vSphere, etc.) Im leaning towards hardware fault somewhere.
October 26, 201312 yr Author I just had another lockup. Temp of the CPU is just fine, very cool, 24 degrees. voltages are also nice and stable. PSU is a BeQuiet Dark Power Pro 10 850W. I tried my 2nd usb-stick, but that's also not the problem... Still searching...
October 26, 201312 yr 24c seems unrealistic to me. Maybe at initial power on after many hours of being off. Even idle should be more than that.
