- Windows Virtual Machine performance on fault tolerance enabled VMs with HW11 and ESXi 6.0 VMware Tools might drop significantly.
- When you upgrade to the ESXi 6.0 host that is configured as stateless and managed by Auto Deploy, the valid ESXi 6.0 license might not be pushed by vCenter Server before creation of management vmknic due to a race condition. As a result, the creation of management interface might fail in the hosts and display the IP address as 0.0.0.0.
- During NUMA remapping of virtual machines configured with less memory (<128 MB) and many NUMA clients, an ESXi host might fail with a purple diagnostic screen. The purple diagnostic screen might contain traces similar to the following:
PCPU xx: no heartbeat (2/2 IPIs received)
[XXXXXXX]NUMASched_RemapCandidate@vmkernel#nover+0xXX
[XXXXXXX]VmMemRemap_SelectForNUMARemap@vmkernel#nover+0xXX
