VMware ESXi log 小記

VMware ESXi log 小記

今天因為工作的關係, 觀察一下 VMware ESXi 的 log 相關資訊

Log 的位置參考

• https://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US&cmd=displayKC&externalId=2032076

# ls /var/log

Xorg.log              fdm.log               sdrsinjector.log      vmamqpd.log           vobd.log

auth.log              hostd-probe.log       shell.log             vmauthd.log           vprobe.log

boot.gz               hostd.log             smbios.bin            vmkdevmgr.log         vprobed.log

clomd.log             hostprofiletrace.log  storagerm.log         vmkernel.log          vpxa.log

configRP.log          ipmi                  swapobjd.log          vmkeventd.log         vsanvpd.log

dhclient.log          lacp.log              sysboot.log           vmksummary.log

esxcli.log            osfsd.log             syslog.log            vmkwarning.log

esxupdate.log         rhttpproxy.log        usb.log               vmware

這邊可以發現都是連結

對應到 /scratch/log 目錄

# ls -l /var/log/Xorg.log

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            21 Mar 24 10:16 /var/log/Xorg.log -> /scratch/log/Xorg.log

/scratch 目錄則是會對應到 datastore

# ls -l /scratch

lrwxrwxrwx    1 root     root            49 Mar 24 10:16 /scratch -> /vmfs/volumes/56f2c737-bc8f7045-9ca1-f8b156b89290
