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. |
