any idea for that problem ?

3

So, what’s in Log after you reboot the machine?

4

well, if u mean log in mikrotik CHR well there’s nothing because i reset the CHR and before reset CHR is like freezing !! and on ESXi also nothing say and work again like nothing happend !! its realy confusing !

5

Is it what you think or what you saw?

Also, what version do you use?

6

for first time i used 6.39 and still the problem and before 2 days ago upgraded the routerOS to 6.42.6 and still same problem , and saw nothing in log !

7

anyone can help me !?

8

is it CHR not compatible with ESXi 6 ?

9

I don’t know if it’s your case, but I’ve seen CHR stopping when it didn’t have enough memory. I originally had VMs with 128MB, but CHR got a little bit more hungry over the time.

10

CHR is certainly compatible with ESXi 6 and 6.5(u2).

You must surely have some log files purporting to this?

11

well i don’t have any problem with memory only cpu and disabled for unknown reason to me !! thanks for your answer

12

that’s my real problem only that log the “The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system” i have so and i don’t know why cpu disabled !

Don’t know if this will help but have you read this?

When you say you have just installed CHR, do you mean you’ve used the premade OVA from MikroTik or you have used an ISO to install or how have you done it?

Googleing the problem refers you to the VMware help center and the general consensus is it is caused by a kernel panic in the guest.

So how have you deployed it?

15

well thanks ,but no not helping

16

deployed as OVA from mikortik ,is that effect on cpu and may be disable it ?

17

How many CPU’s are you assigning to the CHR installation? What happens if you set just 1?

18

CPU is 32 and ram 8G ,i didn’t try 1 CPU cause i have more than 1 Gbps traffic

19

ESXi on the free license will only allow up to 8 vCPUs, have you paid for ESXi? Usually ESXi would not start the VM and tell you to pay for it but maybe you’re getting a weird behaviour?

How many CPUs are you allocating?

20

yes i already paid for ESXi and CHR
