UCS C220-M4 System Software event: Processor sensor, Configuration Error was asserted

[Keith Craycraft]

has anybody seen System Software event: Processor sensor, Configuration Error was asserted.   running ESXi6.5 and  its was hung on a dump screen this morning, The esxi console screen what i could understand was Machine check exception: fatal MCE on PCPU 22. 

I warm restarted and everything came up as it should, but is this a warning sign of possible CPU issue in the box?

You're going to want to open a TAC case on that.

Please make sure you have disabled the processor C-states in CIMC (so it's not trying to do energy savings), as well as setting esxi Host Management Power to 'High Performance' as I've seen some odd freezes resulting from processor power state transitions.

If you captured one, attach a PSOD screen capture, a CIMC tech support, and possibly a VMware support bundle to the case.

Thanks,

Kirk...
