Answers

Reinstall the ESX server.
D.
Reseat the processors.
Answers
D.
Reseat the processors.
Suggested answer: B

Explanation:

A purple screen with white letters on an ESX server indicates a kernel panic, which is a fatal error that causes the system to crash and stop functioning3. The first troubleshooting step that an administrator should perform is to review the log files, which may contain information about the cause of the error, such as hardware failures, software bugs, or configuration issues4. Checking the power supplies (A) may not be relevant, as the system is still displaying a screen. Reinstalling the ESX server © or reseating the processors (D) are drastic measures that may result in data loss or further damage, and should only be attempted after ruling out other possible causes.
