VMwarewolfCommon Fault issues in VMware Infrastructure
Continuing my Resolution Path series, here is another download for you all, this time in the Fault area of VI3. Download the zipfile here and keep it handy for the next time you run into any fault related issues.
What is a “fault” problem? Good question. It’s more of an internal term used at VMware for how they align their support teams. Fault cases include such things as Purple Screens of Death (PSOD), Linux faults on the console OS, Hung ESX Servers, and internal errors and panics.
Again, down the left column in yellow are common problems we get calls on. To the right of each problem are steps one would take to resolve the problem. I have included hyperlinks to help get you to the answers fast.
Feel free to share!

These are great!
The only gripe I have is with the way VMware knowledgbase works. I wanted to look at KB article 1004050 (Listed in “Common system management issues in VMware Infrastructure”, but it seems that KB article was removed, with no reference as to why.
How do I find out what article superseded it?

It’s there now.
It had references to other docs that weren’t available yet, so could not be published. I nudged it through. ;^)
