Figure 1. PSOD
Applies to: VMware ESXi 6.7.x
Workaround: This is a known issue.
Systems
affected:
All Dell EMC PowerEdge servers
Tracking number: 142775
The vmkernel log displays a warning
Description: On the Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with AMD EPYC processors , the vmkernel log displays a following
warning message:
WARNING: AMDIOMMU: 222: completion wait bit is not set after a while!
These messages are displayed on vSAN Cluster nodes.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x
Workaround: These messages can be ignored because there is no functionality loss with these error messages logged in
vmkernel.log file.
Systems
affected:
yx5x AMD Dell EMC PowerEdge servers
Tracking number: 142440
The vmkernel log displays an invalid support message
on multiple PCIe devices
Description:
On Dell EMC PowerEdge servers with AMD Rome processors connected to multiple PCIe devices, the
vmkernel log displays the following message for all the PCIe devices:
invalid supported max link speed
These messages are displayed only when Dell iSM or Dell OMSA is installed on the system, or when wbem
is enabled.
Applies to: ESXi 6.7.x
Workaround: Enable the wbem, and then disable the provider vmw_pci to prevent these repeated error messages
logging in vmkernel.log file. For more information about enable/disable wbem, see the VMware KB
1025757. For more information about disabling provider vwm_pci, see the VMware KB 2053715.
