90% utilization after downing two servers? Is that 90% on a single core, or 90% total?
How many other VMs do you have on the LUN(s) that are still powered on? Any more than the two referenced below? What is the output / top CPU utilization pct for the processes found by running: #top (from SSH) (exit with CTRL-C) -----Original Message----- From: Kurt Buff [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, April 08, 2010 3:04 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: OTish: ESX 3.5 guest won't boot In line...

One last thing for the moment: I've been looking at the performance chart for this box, and see that CPU utilization is hovering around 90%. I've got one VM that seems pretty far out of line from its normal CPU utilization (our Win2k TS server), and another that's a bit higher than normal (our Win2k3 file/print server). I'm thinking of kicking the one person using the TS server off and rebooting, and seeing what that does to the situation, before downing the other machine.
