VMware ESX NO VMkernel Modules Found Error
My development VMware ESX box crashed early this morning with the error message "No VMkernel modules found" during server booting up. I'm not sure what I did last step and after reboot, the system show the error message.
However, I can still login as root without any problem and I noticed my network details are gone.
Sources from here.
This is the first time I saw weird error message and as usual goooooogle. Found something interesting in VMware forum either here or here.
Boot into ESX debug mode, and run the following commands:
- esxcfg-boot -p - to reload the PCI data
- esxcfg-boot -r - to refresh initrd information
- esxcfg-boot -b - to setup boot information
Boot into ESX normal mode and setup network
- esxcfg-vswitch -a vswitch0
- esxcfg-vswitch -A "Service Console" vswitch0
- esxcfg-vswif -a vswif0 -p "Service Console" -i 192.168.1.1 -n 255.255.255.0
- esxcfg-vswitch -L vmnic0 vswitch0
Login to Virtual Center and reconnect to your ESX host. Hope this can help!
