Symptoms

ESXi disconnects from vCenter

ESXi stops responding

ESXi generates a purple diagnostics screen

Purpose

This article provides ways to gather ESXi process information. This process information may help determine the cause of the symptoms.

Resolution

Note: This article assumes you have command-line access to the ESXi host (TechSupport Mode).

For information on TechSupport Mode see, Tech Support Mode for Emergency Support body {background-color:White; color:Black;}

To analyze this issue and gather process information:

Run the minimalized ps command:

ps -Tcjstv

The output shows information such PID, command-line used, and state.

To generate output for certain processes and maintain a title row, run this command:

ps -Tcjstv | egrep "WID|{proc-name}"

The esxcfg-info command can offer some detail on process memory and CPU and is contained in the vm-support dumps. Process information in esxcfg-info is contained in sections called Groups, but the groups can be cumbersome to sift through.

Grep these groups for information on process memory and CPU with the command:

esxcfg-info | egrep -A85 "Group Id" | egrep "Group Name|Group Id|Total CPU|Total Memory|Used Time|Parent Id|----Active\.\.\.\." | less

To check for file-system issues, run this command:

stat –f {filesystem}

Note: This checks inode use, from which a runaway process can sometimes be determined (even if you do not know exactly what files are involved).

To check across all filesystems, run this command:

stat -f `df | grep -v "Filesystem" | awk '{print $6}'` | egrep "File|Inodes"

To view network connection (socket) details, run this command:

esxcli network connection list

Note: For ESXi 5.x and later, run this command:

esxcli network ip connection list

Note: At the time of publication, there is no way to tell how many open files a process holds (for example, lsof).
