  • 1.  High Kernel Mode CPU Use

    Posted Jun 10, 2021 01:30 PM

    Hi all,

    I am currently using systrack for some issues about CPU usage.

    The result extract from Systrack is : High Kernel Mode CPU Use 

    How can I check if ESX CPUs drivers are up to date ? 

    I checked Power policy and all ESX are set to high performance. 

    Thank you all for your help

    Since the ESXi CPU is controlled by the ESXi kernel, there is no version for the CPU driver. There is only the ESXi build number.
    If you have a performance problem, please refer to this KB2001003 to deal with it.
