IBM X3850 X5 装ESXI 4.1 348481版本，报the system has found a problem on your machine and cannot continute.Interleaved NUMA nodes are not supported 有人碰见过这个报错吗？

主机支持交错NUMA节点功能，启用了这个功能之后，几时没有直连的内存都可以被用于到numa节点之间。却生状态下，ESXi 4.1会提示Interleaved NUMA nodes are not supported进而启动失败，但是，我们可以通过激活allowInterleaved NUMAnodes启动选项来允许ESXi主机启动并运行它；
具体方法如下：
安装了ESXi安装版的主机：
1、利用ESXi安装截至启动系统；
2、当起动到蓝色的启动界面时，按Tab键；
3、在vmkboot.gz后面添加allowInterleavedNUMAnodes=TRUE，因此，系统就会读取：mboot.c32 vmkboot.gz allowInterleavedNUMAnodes=TRUE；
4、回车继续启动系统，完成安装后重启系统；
5、在Hypervisor屏幕上显示灰色进度条时输入Shift+O；
6、输入下列命令：esxcfg-advcfg -k TRUE allowInverleavedNUMAnodes；
7、重启系统后利用vSphere Client连接到ESXi主机；
8、找到软件部分的configuration——>Advanced Settings选项；
9、选择VMkernel，然后勾选VMkernel.Boot.allowInterleavedNUMAnodes,然后保存退出即可；
嵌入式ESXi主机：
1、启动系统当系统启动到灰色进度条的Hypervisor屏幕时输入Shift+O；
2、输入下列命令：esxcfg-advcfg -k TRUE allowInverleavedNUMAnodes；
3、重启系统后利用vSphere Client连接到ESXi主机；
4、找到软件部分的configuration——>Advanced Settings选项；
9、选择VMkernel，然后勾选VMkernel.Boot.allowInterleavedNUMAnodes,然后保存退出即可；

During boot or installation of VMware 4.1 onto a system with the IBM MAX5 for System x, Option 59Y6265, memory expansion unit attached, a Purple Screen of Death (PSOD) may be seen with the following error:
         
"The system has found a problem on your machine and cannot continue.
Interleaved Non-Uniform Memory Access (NUMA) nodes are not supported."
Affected configurations
The system may be any of the following IBM servers:
BladeCenter HX5, type 7872, any model
System x3690 X5, type 7148, any model
System x3690 X5, type 7149, any model
System x3850 X5, type 7145, any model
System x3850 X5, type 7146, any model
System x3950 X5, type 7145, any model
The system is configured with at least one of the following:
VMware ESX Server 4.1, any Update
VMware ESXi 4.1 Embedded, any Update
VMware ESXi 4.1 Installable, any Update
The system is configured with one or more of the following IBM Options:
IBM MAX5 for System x, Option part number 59Y6265
IBM USB Memory Key for VMware ESXi 4.1, Option part number 41Y8287, any replacement part number (FRU)
This tip is not software specific.
Workaround
If you see this PSOD, you must reboot, and perform the following steps. Otherwise, you will continue to experience the PSOD.
A boot parameter is required for VMware 4.1 ESX or VMware 4.1 ESXi to access the MAX5 memory expansion unit. The MAX5 memory expansion unit utilizes NUMA technology, which needs to be enabled within the Operating System (OS).
VMware 4.1 ESX
Complete the following steps in order to install with the MAX5 memory expansion unit attached:
At the GRUB prompt, use the following boot parameter after vmkboot.gz:
         allowInterleavedNUMAnodes=TRUE
The line should read as follow
         mboot.c32 vmkboot.gz --- vmkernel.gz --- sys.vgz --- cim.vgz allowInterleavedNUMAnodes=TRUE
At the message "ESX 4.1 Installation Complete," press CTRL + ALT + F2 to get to a terminal.
Edit the /mnt/sysimage/boot/grub/grub.conf file.
Add the following kernel options to the kernel line:
         allowInterleavedNUMAnodes=TRUE
For example, in the GRUB.conf file:
         kernel /vmlinuz ro root=UUID=51beafbf-b273-4195-9a2c-04dd3b7d7786 mem=633M quiet allowInterleavedNUMAnodes=TRUE
Press CTRL + ALT + F6 to return to the "ESX 4.1 Installation Complete" screen.
Click Finish to complete the installation.
VMware 4.1 ESXi (installable)
Complete the following steps:
At the GRUB prompt, use the following boot parameter after vmkboot.gz:
         allowInterleavedNUMAnodes=TRUE
The line should read as follows:
         mboot.c32 vmkboot.gz allowInterleavedNUMAnodes=TRUE --- vmkernel.gz --- sys.vgz --- cim.vgz
After the system has completed the installation while the system is booting, at the Loading VMware Hypervisor screen, press Shift + o while the gray bar progresses to add a boot parameter. Enter the following command at the prompt:
         esxcfg-advcfg -k TRUE allowInterleavedNUMAnodes
After the system is up and running, connect to the system using the VMware vSphere Client. Go to the tab Configuration, and look for Advanced Settings in the Software section. Under the tab VMkernel, search for the parameter VMkernel.Boot.allowInterleavedNUMAnodes, and mark the box to enable this parameter. Press OK to save the settings.
VMware 4.1 ESXi (embedded)
Complete the following steps:
While the system is booting, at the Loading VMware Hypervisor screen, press Shift + o while the gray bar progresses to add a boot parameter. Enter the following command at the prompt:
         esxcfg-advcfg -k TRUE allowInterleavedNUMAnodes
After the system is up and running, connect to the system using the VMware vSphere Client. Go to the tab Configuration, and look for Advanced Settings in the Software section. Under the tab VMkernel, search for the parameter VMkernel.Boot.allowInterleavedNUMAnodes, and mark the box to enable this parameter. Press OK to save the settings.
Additional information
The boot parameter allows VMware 4.1 to use dis-contiguous memory, which is needed to use MAX5 memory expansion unit technology.

楼上正解，可以解决，我以前遇到过……

LZ或者可以去IBM网站找找Vsphere的安装镜像

rebelxuan

没试成功，前面那几步是指要重新安装esxi吗？客户说不能重新装esxi

dyitdev

在启动时候设置引导参数，从2开始

rebelxuan

第二步那里，要mount esxi的镜像才能到那里吧，我mount了，然后也添加allowInterleavedNUMAnodes=TRUE，后来系统自动重启了，我是mount一个版本号更新一点的esxi 4.1，但是重启完显示还是原来的版本号，后面的5,6步做完了还是显示the system has found a problem on your machine and cannot continute.Interleaved NUMA nodes are not supported
