I've had a weird problem occur. Today when I went to log into my ESXi server to test Windows 7, I noticed that all of my VM's were turned off, when I had them all turned on before I logged out of the VI client last night. I checked the ESXi logs to find them empty, and when I go to the performance chart to try to stretch out the chart to find the exact time something happened, my time options are greyed out.
I've brought everything back up, and all my server OS's report unexpected shutdowns. After going through the logs, the last event's I can find range from between 8:20 and 8:40 this morning.
Just a little background for anyone curious, I'm running ESXi on a new HP ML350G5 w/ 10gb of memory, a 1tb Raid5 array on the E200i controller w/ 128mb BBUC, and Redundant PSU's. So everything is on the ESXi HCL.
The only thing I can think of is I that the VI client logon screen was open this morning when I pulled some books off my laptop keyboard, and I don't remember if I logged out of the VI client last night or not. Although even if that is the case, why would the ESXi logs be blank?
