VM powered on by automation is generating (vcpu-0) Unrecoverable memory allocation failure

[jnirl]

Hi

The following DLLs are being used Vestris.VmWareLib.dll ( 1.7.824.0) and Interop.VixCom.dll for powering on VMs and copying files on ESXi 6.0 server as part of an automation solution.

We have noticed recently that during an automation run when a file of about 800 Mb approx. is copied on to the VM the VM crashes. If a smaller file is copied over for example 300 Mb the VM does not crash.

In the VMWare log there are messages “VMware ESX unrecoverable error: (vcpu-0) Unrecoverable memory allocation failure” for when the VM crashes.

We migrated the same VM on to an older ESXi server 5.1 and for large and small file size copies the VMs do not crash.

Has anyone else seen issues like this on ESXi 6.0?

Thanks
