ESX 3.5 hostd.log files - log file creation failed!

Hi I am after some advice. I get an error message on the creation of the log file failed in virtual center when I am migrating or clone virtual machines. I looked at the error in the VMware KB and read the article on the search in the directory var/log for disk space problems. I found one of our esx servers 100% in the var/log directory. so I need to delete some files.

I can't remove it HOSTD.log old files are all around 5 mb in size and some have not been changed since a few months? Also is it possible to have a regular host job that updated or deletes old log files.

Any help would be grateful.

Thank you

Austin

Yes, you can delete these files - no problem.

There is also a knockout for this: freeing up space when the /var/ partition is full http://kb.vmware.com/kb/1005768

    How can I get out of this confusion?

    Looks like your scene preclone directory is not correct (corrupted), and I think that it is because preclone does not run successfully.

    Either you follow the steps described in the following notes to change the existing to a new undo tablespace or run preclone and copy the files again.

  • Cannot transfer the file to WCS 5508 - Code file transfer failed - unknown error - refer to log

    Hi all

    This is my first time here posting. I have some difficulty to transfer files to my WCS 5508. My intention is to upgrade to

    6.0.196.0 to 7.4. We recently bought 2602i access points and we need to update our controller software so that the controller save the new access points. I also improved the interface controller 7.0.240 WCS software.

    However, I have not been successful transfer the file to the controller for the upgrade.

    I have tried everything I know:

    * transfer the file of different programs including tftp32d and solarwinds TFTP server

    * transfer the file of different applications such as FileZilla and FTPD FTP server

    * transfer the WCS web interface file

    * running a direct connection to the WLC with a static IP address on the interface

    * verified that there are no interfering firewalls with transfer

    * adjusted times waiting and pads as a result

    I get no error message on my software FTP or TFTP, which would indicate something wrong with the applications. I think it is a bug with the controller.

    The transfer reachers about 97MB before it fails.

    Here are the error messages I get when I run "transfer of debug output all" from the CLI of the controller

    I feel I forgot something...

    # #debug transfer all out #.

    * Did not write body

    * Only partial file received: 97086398 bytes

    Any suggestions? Am I missing something?

    Well... Since you're WCS, v7.0.x is the only code that are supported for the WCS.  Look here.

    http://www.Cisco.com/c/en/us/TD/docs/wireless/compatibility/matrix/compatibility-matrix.html#18972

    So the trick to this is downgrade to v7.0.x and add the WLC WCS and then go to v7.2.121.0.  As long as the WLC is added and is attached to the WCS, you can upgrade.  If the WLC is not attached, you will never get to add with a more recent version of the code.

  • Hostd.log

    I am new to vmware, my environment consist of 3 guests installed with ESXi 4.1 and a vCenter 4.1 with a single cluster. I constantly receive the below error

    An internal error has occurred in the vSphere client.

    "Details: cannot be object of type 'VmomiSupport.VirtualMachineNodeImpl' type VmomiSupport.HostSystemNode '.

    I wanted to see the hostd.log maybe I can solve the problem from there but do not know how to get the location of hostd.log

    was wondering could someone direct me to how I can get to / var /log/ vmware hostd.log location (I'm a windows guy not linux).

    And if you have since the mistake b/4 topic maybe you can help as well. Thanks Fellows

    If you connect directly to the ESXi host with the vSphere client, you can switch to the view of the House, and then click the option of system logs.  You can then select the type of log you want to view. You can also do to https://esx01/host and download the log file directly.

  • Error - "file write failed" at the stage of export in FDQM

    Hi all

    We are working on the integration FDQM and HFM.
    We have completed the import, validation and Export step in the FDQM application. But when you try to view the file after the export step, we receive the error "writing on a file has failed.
    In addition, we are unable to see the data in the end HFM. Please advice.

    I do not exclude a security problem. The files imported and export files go to different directories that may have entirely different permissions set. (by default they must match, however).

    In addition, the downloaded file is saved by the IIS service account which is probably different from that of the user used to create export files.

    I agree; However, the disk space is a possible problem since it is certainly possible that you used the last disk space to import the file and then it would be impossible to generate the. DAT files. It would be easy enough to check out as well.

    Regarding problems of file permissions, etc., run procmon (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896645.aspx) on the server that runs the back-end FDM services. You see all file and registry activity. (NOTE: you'll want to filter up to just the process that you want to watch, otherwise, it will be a ridiculous amount of information)

    If there is a permissions error, you will see it. If the disk space, you will see that too.

    Other suggestions:

    Check that the logs of Windows AND check your PIF error log. You may well find a definitive answer in there.

    P.S. The one gripe I have with FDM is that, sometimes, the end-user error messages have NOTHING to do with the real problem or are just confused or misleading. Otherwise, great product.

    Hi Robrw,

    1. when exactly you receive this error?

    2. don't you make changes to the computer before this problem?

    You can try to rename the catroot2 folder and check if it helps.

    Step 1:

    a. Click Start and in run type C:\windows\system32 and click ok

    b. find the Catroot2 folder. Right-click on Catroot2 and rename it to Catroot2.old

    If you are not able to do the normal mode, try to start in safe mode and rename

    Check out the link for more information on starting your computer in SafeMode below:

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    Step 2:

    If you are unable to access the catroot2 folder, and then try to change the permissions on the files and check if it helps.

    See the following article:

    How to capture a file or a folder in Windows XP

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/308421

    Step 3:

    You can also try to temporarily disable third-party security software and firewalls and check what is happening.

    Note: Activate the security software after the resolution of the problem.

  • Why is my computer when I turn it on saying Dell Dock language file has failed to load?

    Why is my computer when I turn on it saying: Dell Dock language file has failed to load, which is necessary for its future operation up and when I try to go bad, he says iapplication? Is could someone please tell me if it of a problem or not. Thank you very much. E-mail: * address email is removed from the privacy *

    You must have Dell Dock for your computer works correctly.  It's just a convenience tool that Dell put on their computers.  If you want a working version, you can download here

    http://www.delldock.com/ .

    Don't forget there is no other things that got corrupt however.  Get your updated antivirus program and boot into Safe Mode. Note that some viruses can hide from your normal antivirus program, so you really need to scan in Safe Mode. To enter in Safe Mode when you turn on first, press F8 on every seconds until you get the menu, and then select Safe Mode. Then run a complete system scan.

    Good luck.

  • Metadata, Yes, but what about date of file creation?

    It's fine that the exported photos retain their metadata and all but the creation and modification of file dates are listed as the time of export. Is it possible to keep the original creation date of the file.

    Most likely, you are looking at the wrong date.

    The file creation date is the date on which the file was created.

    So you're interested in the date of image capture, which is in the metadata.

    The fact that the creation date of the original file and the image capture date are the same (or less than a second) should not be treated as something more than a coincidence.

    I'm sharing two great videos with customers. An AVI 640 MB and a 4 GB AVI.

    I shows that I put my 20 GB available if the ability should be fine.

    After that a few unsuccessful attempts using the web service to download, I discovered that there is a limit of 1 GB (but wasn't even 640 MB file).

    I went to the service desk (where the file size limit is 5 GB) and transferred successfully the 640 MB file. The 4 GB file has not yet download - nor have I received any notification that the upload didn't - after 3 hours of the bar indicating the progress of progression.

    I have re-edited the video for my client--down to a file size of 1 GB - with just the basic stuff, so I could drive a flash drive on his place to deliver the full version by hand.

    Once the download has failed again, but this time I was able to access an error message simply stating that there is a server error.

    I am very disappointed. Despite the many within the system (I'm sure) and spent the better part of 24 hours trying to provide to a customer, CC file synchronization failed me.

    Now, before you go all Ninja in anger against Adobe, is there anything that I did wrong? I really want to think the best of this new Service CC.

    Can anyone shed some light on how I can share files in CC?

    Thank you.

    Hi imaccready,

    Legal issues currently prevent us from sharing certain types of files.  We hope to have somewhat in the future for users to share their own MP4 content.

    For future reference, here is the current list of non shareable file types - in addition to executable programs:

    video/mp4
    application/mp4
    Audio/mp4
    audio/mpeg
    audio/x-mp3
    audio/x-mpeg
    audio/x-mpeg3
    audio/mp3
    Audio/mpeg3
    application / vnd.ms - fontobject
    application/x-police-FTT
    application/x-font-type1
    fonts/opentype

    Kind regards

    Romit Sinha
