Generating logs
Messages generated by the VAAI Plug-in are placed in the VMware kernel log.
•
ESX : /var/log/vmkernel
•
ESXi: /var/log/messages
If a run time warning condition occurs, the VAAI plug-in includes an IMPACT and/or ACTION
statement to clarify the severity of the event.
Available command line switches
The VAAI plug-in accommodates a number of logging use cases via command line switches. The
VAAI plug-in self-documents the usage of these switches via the following command:
