VMWare guest becomes unresponsive, stops logging, not dumping
Issue
- We have a server that stops responding, but nothing related is recorded in messages. When this occurs, our only option has been to reboot the server; attempting to gather a vmcore also fails. What other options are there?
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8
- VMWare guest
