How to activate the log captures host esxi 4?

Hi all... I'm trying to gather some disconnects an ESXi host for troubleshooting 4U1. I need to collect the /var/log/vmkiscid.log of the host files. Can I do this with vMA? I saw a walk through on how to enable this in the documentation. Any help would be great! Thank you!!!

I'm sure it's documented in the vMA administration guide, but you will need to use vi-logger to toggle logging remotely to your host ESX (i)

Journaling saves only files default base, particularly on ESXi where you don't find additional newspapers such as the Console of Service ESX classic iSCSI newspapers.

Here's a look at what he's going to capture.

  • How to install the software on host ESXi 4?

    I would like to analyze using Nagios my ESXi 4 server through the remote console shell, but there are a few hiccups with the Linux environment in that esxi is available:

    • There is no installed gcc
    • No like yum or apt - get package manager
    • Can't find that associated with this version of RHEL RPMs

    So I am puzzled because I find inappropriate for this version of RHEL RPM, and when I want to compile I can't because there is no gcc. Clues? It's with Nagios using ERS, but if I have to use SNMP I will go this route.

    Linux build: (Linux version 2.6.18 - 128.ESX ([email protected]) (gcc version 4.1.2) #1 Fri Oct 15 16:11:16 PDT 2009 [generation of Console of Service ESX 201756)

    Welcome to the community - first ESXi is not Linux - the VMkernel is developed by VMware - it is not recommended to install the software on your ESXi host unless it is specifically design for ESXi - so unless Nagios has developed an agent for ESXi you won't be able to install it.

  • Terca M4: How to activate the external ports, DVI and analog?

    Please can someone please tell how to activate the two external ports. I would use two DVI and analog to the office. Currently if you activate a second screen machine sets up the flat screen and the other the DVI external display. Is this in any way about this?

    See you soon

    Hi Matthew

    As far as I know you can connect an external monitor or a TFT. For this you can use the VGA (15-pin) port or DVI - D video, supported by PortReplicator III (PA3314E).

    Sorry, but I don't understand why you need the two holes at the same time. How many external screens that you want to use? Sorry if I'm missing something but perhaps you can explain your wishes more precisely.

  • Satellite Pro U200 - how to activate the bluetooth connection

    How to activate the bluetooth connection?

    Hello

    First check to see if your computer supports BT
    If the laptop supports BT, then you should find a BT tag at the bottom of the unit.
    If there is no label then your machine was not equipped with internal BT module!

    If the laptop supports BT, then use the FN + F8 key to go to the BT
    Then BT should start installation and configuration.

    For more details, see this forum and this Toshiba BT Portal:

    You want to start Notepad by opening the cover. Right?
    In this case you should enable the option in the system of Windows 8 settings

  • How to activate the resolutions of wide screen on Satellite Pro A10

    Hello

    I looked through various positions through the forums, but have not found how to activate the wide screen on a Toshiba Satellite Pro A10 resolutions.

    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=19677

    The solution in the 2nd post won't work because the A10 has an Intel graphics card, not a Nvidia. He suggested also, modify the INF of the graphics driver, but to extract the driver (SA10B2DP.exe) file includes an installer, but no INF.

    Just look to see if anyone has any advice on how to activate the resolutions such as 1440 x 900 or 1680 x 1050.

    Thank you

    Hello

    you mean on the external screen, Don t you? If you have an intel chipset graphic why Don t you download the drivers from the website of intel.
    Maybe it offers a resolution of the external display.

    I don't know if the res external can be set to widescreen on this chipset as the drivers are somewhat limited...
    Can you describe what monitor you have and how you connect it to your machine. (d-sub or DVI)?

  • Satellite Pro A100 - how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support on Vista?

    Hello. I've recently updated my satellite pro a100-828 to windows vista, and things work well to a large extent with two exceptions:

    1. I can't figure out how to activate the shortcut keyboard-support: media-keys to the left and the fn keys do nothing. There seems to be no shortcut keyboard-utility for windows vista in the drivers * tion. So what to do?
    2. the standby electricity utility is not available, which is good because of the power saver new vista. Except that I can't dim the screen, so the battery does not last me too long. How can I do this?

    Thanks in advance
    Best regards
