[cisco-voip] ESXi 6.5U2 - Edit VM Settings - VM Shuts Down

[Schlotterer, Tommy]

I have done 3 or 4 build outs on ESXi 6.5U2 and I haven’t encounter this before.

I do delete all of the starter VMs that come preinstalled and deploy all my own OVA’s so if you use the preinstalled VM’s it could be related to that.

I am curious what you find.

Thanks

Tommy

I should have mentioned that the unregistering/re-registering of the VM does allow me to power on the machine.  Prior to that, the VM will not power on.

Twice now, on two separate systems, as I was doing my fresh installs of CSR 11 apps, I disconnect the bootable ISOs from the VMs, and ESXi throws the following Event Log error, followed by shutting down the VM.

Issue detected for <myvmnamehere> on <myesxinamehere> in ha-datacenter: Configuration file has unexpected changes. Virtual machine has been terminated. Unregister and re-register virtual machine if the configuration file is correct.

Granted, both times it happened to me, was during the build out, so at least it didn't happen to me during production.  So, beware, if you are editing VM settings in the middle of the day, even just changing the DVD setting, ESXi 6.5U2 will shutdown your VM.
