Solution
Summaries and Symptoms
Issues fixed in this patch (and their relevant symptoms, if applicable) include:
- On ESX hosts with more than one CD-ROM device, rescanning storage (vmhba) causes the host to crash with a purple screen that displays CosPanic:4781: COS Error: Oops.
- The root disk goes offline and the ESX service console becomes read-only during long cluster failovers on storage arrays. This issue applies to both Active/Active and Active/Passive storage arrays.
- Includes a fix to better support Broadcom RemotePHY backplanes on Dell PowerEdge blade servers.
Deployment Considerations
ESX350-200808402-BG requires the installation of ESX 3.5 U2 refresh bundle ESX350-200808201-UG, irrespective of whether the ESX 3.5 U2 hot fix bundle ESX350-200806812-BG is currently installed or not. Make sure that ESX 3.5 U2 refresh bundle ESX350-200808201-UG is available in the local depot before installation.
If you are using esxupdate , you must install 2nd-level dependencies before installing this patch.
