● Caution about VMware ESXi 

This caution is about the screen display of VMware vSphere :  Monitor > Hardware > System Sensor > Sensor when the 
ESXi is booted. 

 

1. There are cases where the following Heartbeat Lost sensor displays “Warning(Yellow)”. 
 

[Device] I/O Module (n) LOM_Link_P (n)

Heartbeat Lost-Assert  

[Device] I/O Module (n) NIC_Link_P (n)

Heartbeat Lost-Assert 

*n  represents LAN port number P1-P4 

 

<Environment  :iLO5 firmware 1.30

1.35

1.38 is applied > 

In case that the screen display of Heartbeat Lost sensor Health (vCenter

Status) shows “Warning (Yellow)” after 

ESXi completes boot, for the ports whose cables are connected, the “Warning (Yellow)” will disappear and turn to 
“Normal (Green)” within a couple of minutes after connecting LAN cable. Please wail for a couple of minutes. For 
the ports without LAN cables, the “Warning (Yellow)” will be continuously displayed, but this does not indicate 
hardware malfunction and there is no impact to the system operation. Please continue operating the system as is. 
If a LAN cable is connected and the “Warning (Yellow)” does not disappear, there is a possibility that the connection 
of the cable is bad, so please check the LAN cable connection.
