Error in Active Directory Operations when Joining ESXi 6 to Active Directory
Hi
Recently when I was testing the ESXi 6 on my LAB running on VMware Workstation 11 I faced a nightmare when I tried to join the ESXi to the Active Directory.
As I started troubleshooting I re-assured all the prerequisites are met (such as NTP, DNS resolution) but the problem was haunting me.
As per the VMware guidelines when I tried to restart the lwsmd service via Tech Support Mode it was throwing the below errors
– lwsmd is not fully started
– likewise service manager [failed to set memory reservation] esxi
Then it clicked on me that may be this behaviour could be due to insufficient memory and after increasing the memory voila everything turned out to be working normally.
Hope you like it..
