Description
Hello,
Recently I encountered a Windows guest that hung itself and would not allow me to stop it when right-clicking the VM->Close->Power off. I am running it in headless mode and I saw the vBoxHeadless.exe process on the host was reporting a constant CPU usage value but was not changing, indicating the process was hung.
There are 6 other guests running on this host, all of which did not hang and continued operating properly.
The guest had been booted at 6/30/16 01:31 and some logging software of mine stopped receiving a ping from the guest around 7/9/16 13:30 (232:57 in logfile). I did not attempt to intervene until 20 hours later (252:29 in logfile). It looks like when the guest host process hung the AHCI controller experienced an issue with port resets.
The host is running Windows Server 2008 R2, the guest is running the same.
The VBox.log file is attached.
