VMware vSphere ESXi 6.0 U3 / ESXi 6.5 U1 ‚RAMDISK FULL‘ – Scratch Log Konfiguration wird auf Default zurückgesetzt

Dienstag, August 15th, 2017

Mit den aktuellen Patchen für die Versionen 6.0 U3 und 6.5 U1 hat sich ein Fehler auf den ESXi Servern eingeschlichen. Die Scratch Partition wird auf die Default Einstellungen „/scratch“ zurückgesetzt und kann nicht mehr genutzt werden. Der Fehler tritt nach jedem Neustart erneut auf. Eine Konsequenz ist dass die root RAMDISK vollläuft und die korrekte Funktionsweise des ESXi Servers nicht mehr gewährleistet werden kann

VMware hat dazu einen KB Artikel veröffentlich in dem der Workaround beschrieben ist KB2151270
