CHR on Vmware esxi 5.5 Max Interfaces

Fri Jun 29, 2018 4:35 pm

Hello,

Please can someone tell me the max number of interfaces CHR can accept from the vmware host.
CHR 6.42.3
Vmware esxi 5.5

We added 5 VMXNET3 interfaces and everything is fine.

Then we added a 6th interface and the CHR would automatically reboot with an IRQ error and then just boot loop.

We removed the 6th interface and re-added it as E1000E and then the router came up. We now have 10 interfaces, 5 with VMXNET3 and 5 with E1000E.

Why is this?

Many thanks,

Alex

SOLVED CHR on Vmware esxi 5.5 Max Interfaces

Fri Jun 29, 2018 5:39 pm

UPDATE:

When we had the problem this was on a VM with a single CPU socket with a Single CPU Core.

Adding an additional CPU Socket has allowed us to add 10 VMXNET3 interfaces with no IRQ issues anymore.

Consider this solved.

Thanks,

Alex
