I believe these messages are due to high disk I/O operation. Worst, in some situation, the entire guest OS may hanged and gave out filesystem errors of disk I/O failure.

I don’t run all of them concurrently, but there would be situation where I may need to run more than 5 guest OS. Though it solve this problem, it has another problem. We need to change the SCSI emulation from Buslogic to Lsilogic. It will still boot eventually, but will take a very long time to finish all the scanning of SCSI disk. However, once upgraded to 1.0.4, it generate a lot of errors in scanning SCSI disk.
#Is esx emulator real upgrade
The story started when I need to perform an upgrade from version 1.0.3 to 1.0.4.īasically, in version 1.0.3, the default SCSI emulation is done using Buslogic. Sometime, some default selection is even mark as “recommended” by the system supplier. Like anyone of us who started using any new, we tend to select default options, as we don’t really have much experience to really figure out which configurations are the best. I would consider myself as a new comer/newbie for using VMware. Using it, there is no need for me to search/prepare hardware, there is no need to fix or troubleshoot any potential hardware problem (e.g. VMware is a marvelous software, especially those who (like me) needs to setup test environment quickly and efficiently.
