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.

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

You must surely have some log files purporting to 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?

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

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?

We are hit with the same problem: The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system. 4 times in the last week or so.

Is there any way to get the kernel panic message?

Many do this and send to mikrotik. So they can troubleshoot.

I also face this problem for few last days. Chr 6.43.2 in vmware workstation with 1cpu /2cores in virtual host is once per day switched of because of this. At the moment I have removed one core hoping that the ros will not try to disable the last core it has.

Is there a ticket created at mikrotik for this? Has anyone got any response from support?

Same problem here on 6.42.9

1 gbps of traffic. ESXI 6.7 with vCenter.

2 Cores and 512mb of RAM

Any words from Mikrotik?

thanks

We've encountered this particular error message already with other VMs after kernel panics occurred. As a workaround, you could try to edit the CPUID mask settings and check if the CHR-VM might boot again: https://docs.vmware.com/en/VMware-vSphe ... 78CEA.html

Hi,
I am facing the same problem.
I set up the CHR router by following this guide: https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:CHR .
I have a licensed VMware and a CHR with P1 license. After having used it for 4 days it freezed without showing any log. VMware only displayed "The CPU has been disabled by the guest operating system".
The CHR has 2 CPU, 4GB RAM and 4GB disk storage. 6.43.13 is the version of VMware disk image.

Did someone find any solution to this problem?
Have I set up the machine with wrong parameters?

Thanks

Guys, disable conn tracking and problem will gone.
It's been known for a long time. It dies once DDOS kicks in. They not fixed that, but I can confirm disabling conntracks not causing CPU to go offline and machine halt.

If disabling conn tracking will disable NAT, what kind of router is it??

A router without NAT is definitely not a home router :)

Hi,

I recommend taking a look at your vswitch and physical switch architecture. Be clear about your trunks and any spanning tree issues.

Try out the options with promiscuous mode on the vswitches, and esp on the physcial host interfaces.

Make sure to use VMXNET3 interfaces and drivers. Understand clearly about using vlan 4096 in esxi for trunk ports.

I have vsphere 6.5 with 6 CHRs doing BGP, OSPF IP Transit ipv4 and v6 and have NEVER seen this. We have been doing this since 2017.

Our routers are connected via ESXI trunks to external physical switches which we use as port extenders to the CHR, and then connect to Transit providers from there.

And yes, we have conntrack turned on, and we have also had to handle DDOS situations, but never seen the VM crash.

Also the IPArchitechs guys have run some big labs like this with 10g and I am not aware of them seeing the issue (correct me if Im wrong).

Salaams,

Alex
