I'm about to pull my hair out on this one.
I am having problems with a couple of my virtual machines. Here's the setup:
- Host Server: HP Proliant dL360 G4p (2x Dual Core Xeon 3.6Ghz, 8GB RAM, 2x300GB SAS in RAID1, Server 2003 R2 SP2, Virtual Server 2005 R2)
- VM 1: Server 2003 R2 SP2 - Hosts Altiris for imaging and app deployment.
- VM 2: Server 2003 R2 SP2 - Hosts Symantec Server 3.1, IAS for wireless RADIUS, WSUS 3.0, Cert Auth.
- Each VM is configured with 2 fixed size virtual disks (OS and Data)
The whole setup was running great for over a year with no problems. Now all of a sudden, the two virtual machines reboot, seemingly at random. The host is rock solid, though. If I turn off automatic restarts on failure, once in a while I will get a blue screen with 0x00000024 or 0x0000007e. These are both possibly drive related, but since these are virtual disks/controllers, I don't know what to do about it.
I'm not sure what changed to make this happen (I'm not the only person who uses them), but it's getting really frustrating. Luckily they reboot quickly, so interruptions are minimal, but I need to get it fixed.
Here's what I've tried:
-Update all three boxes (Microsoft Update, LiveUpdate, etc.)
-Ran chkdsk on the .vhd files and the physical partition that they are located on.
-Attempted an OS repair on VM2. It would just quit and restart during the process, never finished.
-Turned off AV real-time scanning and tamper protection on all 3 boxes
-Uninstalled/reinstalled third party apps
-Applied KB937455 which is supposed to deal with 0x00000024 error.
The problem seems to be more prevalent when traffic is high, but isn't always reproduceable on command. I'm about out of ideas, aside from calling Microsoft. Does anyone here have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
