ESXI 6.7.0 After Booting Problem

[Hany Elsersawy]

I have a server with ESXI 6.7.0 version installed, once it is booting to the login screen and after 2.30 min is showing error:

 #IDE exception 0 in world 2098326:AffMgr-Helper

Attached the error. If can one can advise.

You need to determine what the world "2098326" relates to.

If it is a VM for instance (likely seeing as the host seems to boot) it could be that one of its VMDK files is missing or damaged.

Is one of the VMs not starting?

You can work out if the world ID is attached to a VM but getting to the ESX command line and using:

esxcli network vm list

This will list out all active VMs. VMs that are not powered on do not have a world ID, so if the VM is dying, shortly after the error is raised, it won't get listed here.

If you have lots of VM, you could "grep" the output to show just the line for the VM in question if it exists.

esxcli network vm list | grep -E "World|---|2098326"

If it works something like this should appear...

World ID  Name     Num Ports  Networks
--------  ------   ---------  ----------
2098326   VMName           1  VM network
