Logging Issues on ESXi5.5

[admin]

Checking the ESXi logging's (Alt-F12)show this dramatic page above, over & over ...
Have to investigate why, before other HW related issues are being made here (openWrt, Debian, etc etc).

On Alt-F1 we see:


Should be no big difficulty to fix, i hope.

This could also be one of the not used USB camera's, as we were testing those also.

First the non-working Logitech:

We get ride of the Logitech and check the console Alt-F12 messages, as the first search on Google did not return any info.

Switched off the non-working cam, but still these messages on console.
Could also be due to AMT remote console? Have to test this by starting VM after VM to find out if its VM related.

Also faced next issue on my NAS ix4-300d ... Display doesn't work anymore?
We test also a reboot of this box to see if display works again.
(Still having the file error also on this box.)

The reboot of the NAS fixed the missing display.
Next we need service window 4 backup & "Reset and reload data from drives" from Diagnostics page.
The whole issue can be found here.

We found the same issue we have on ESXi5.5 (logging) as described above on internet, here
There's also mentioned a vmware solution to disable VT-d within the BIOS.
So this solution (disable VT-d in BIOS) also works for AMT VNC KVM logging issues on ESXi5.5 (until now).
Testing this seems to work! Although i faced my 1st PSOD after my 4 VM's were started ... the first time.
Next reboot still active (i hope).
This makes investigating some VMware issues much easier on the ESXi logs (AMT KVM + ALT-F12) !

Next issue should be fixing the NAS further ... faster ...
