comment:2 by Peggy, 8 years ago

I'm am having the same type problem, although the bugcheck offsets may be a little different. Windows Host Unresponsive when trying to start second VM with VMMR0.r0 ( VMMR0+1447c )

Guest type: Linux

Host type: Windows

Using new version VirtualBox 5.0.8

Host hardware: HP Proliant DL380 Gen9

I have 2 Virtual servers I need to spin up at the same time. They are Oracle Linux images for Peoplesoft applications. Sometimes I can get both running and other times, I get the first one running and the other guest starts to boot but then the host becomes unresponsive and I have to power reset it the Host. I have dump files. Using Windows Debugger with the mini dump file seems to points to VMMR0.r0.

Has there been any discoveries on your reported bugcheck? How might I get my dump files looked at?

Is this something that used to work on your HP Proliant server and if so any idea what might have changed to cause this issue?

ATM; we have no real idea what can be causing this. It's as though there is something pulling the rug from under us but we can't tell what/why. Maybe SMM/security software doing funny things with VT-x that's on these HP servers?

It might be worth checking if the firmware is up to date on the boxes which have trouble with VirtualBox.

I have the exact same problem .

HP Proliant ML350 Gen9 Windows Server 2008 R2 with Service Pack 1 When I try to start the second virtual machine, the server stops with blue screen ( SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION - VMMR0.R0 )

Okay, that's the third HP Proliant. What are the odds that this is a generic error that magically only happens on certain Proliants? Probably not very high. Please ask HP for help.

@danielericcio What processor do you have in your ML350 Gen9? Mine is a Intel Xeon CPU E5-2640 v3

@Ramshankar Yes - we are fully current on all firmware

@michaln What is the possibility of the Intel processor v3 being a contributor, and not necessarily the HP server?

All, I do have a support case opened with HP.

Thanks for input! Peggy

The problem may be caused by VirtualBox incorrectly detecting the number of host CPUs. Anyone affected can compare the number of CPUs reported by Windows itself with the values in VBox.log.

For VirtualBox 4.3, there should be a line similar to "Logical host processors: 40 present, 40 max, 40 online, online mask: 000000ffffffffff".

For VirtualBox 5.x, there should be a line similar to "TM: GIP - u32Mode=3 (Invariant) u32UpdateHz=92 u32UpdateIntervalNS=10754700 enmUseTscDelta=2 (Pratically Zero) fGetGipCpu=0x1 cCpus=16".

If the numbers don't match (VirtualBox vs. host OS), there will be trouble. There seems to be something unusual in how Windows manages processors on these ProLiant servers, even in cases where the total number of logical processors isn't all that big. That is likely why the problem can't be reproduced on similarly configured Oracle servers.

Just uploaded a test build which hopefully addresses this issue: https://www.virtualbox.org/download/testcase/VirtualBox-5.1.7-111271-Win.exe There will be a 5.0 testbuild later today as well (https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Testbuilds).

Resolution: fixed
Status: newclosed

Fix is part of VBox 5.0.28 and 5.1.8. Please reopen if still relevant.
