Location of 'Events' seen in vSphere connected to ESXi 4.1 host?

Hello

When we open vSphere client to connect to a server ESXi host, there is the 'Events' tab shown at the host level.  I would like to know how to remove this log, please.

I found this article (http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1021801), but it doesn't answer my question.  I had deleted these files "message * ' and ' spend-*" files (files whose number names), but that's not all.

I would appreciate if someone could tell me how to remove the old logs there.

Hello

Please check the under rental.

/ var/run/log

It is the location where the old logs are stored.

If the partition scratch has temp location then newspapers will be eliminated with a reboot of the host.

If newspapers are in the temporary location, then the former location of newspapers is/temp/scratch

If the scratch location is configured on a data store location, then the location of old newspapers is as below

/ var/run/log

Please do not delete the present remove only logs logs rotated.

Please do a ls - ltrh you can get the date and time of creation of the newspaper and also the size of the journal of.

Please let me know if you need additional information.

Thank you

Sam

There is no directory called "journal" under/var/run/in my ESXi server.

The partition scratch is in the default location.

I restarted the ESXi server and saw the former event logs have disappeared.  So apparently old newspapers of the events in this log "Events" can only be removed by rebooting.

  • Unable to connect to esxi using the vsphere client

    Hello friends,

    I need a little help.

    a 2 5.0 esxi host and a vcenter than VM.

    My laboratory worked well for days, but all of a sudden do not know why I am not able to connect to ESXi hosts with vSphere Client.

    Error: The request failed because the remote server has taken too long to respond.

    Call "ServiceInstance.RetrieveContent" to "ServiceInstance' server '192.168.1.101' object failed.

    Yes, I am able to connect to vCenter server, when it is connected to vCenter and open the console of the virtual computer, nothing shows up, it's a black screen, as if the virtual machine is turned off. It is with all the virtual machines on both hosts.

    1. I thought that it might have to do something with vCenter and I tried connecting to Host individually which I wasn't able to.

    After completing a few KBs on vmware and some articles, I checked the status of the firewall on both hosts. (attached screenshot)

    8-7-2013 2-11-16 AM.png

    Checked if my computer can talk to esxi host on port 80, 443, 902. all ports are accessible.

    Disabled the Symantec endpoint protection and checked. no positive results.

    Finally, I tried the ESXi web navigation browser host http://ESXi-IP-address which redirects me to HTTPS connection with Certificate error, when I continue with the cert error, loading of the URL guard and the host page doesn't appear as it should.

    This questions are on both hosts. :-(

    You guys can point me in the right direction to solve this problem.

    Thank you.

    Finally things started working now.

    The problem was with the configuration of the workstation's NETWORK adapter.

    The link on the NETWORK adapter speed was set to Auto negotiate (default), but the speed was detected as 100 Mbps instead of 1 Gbps and MTU has been set at 9014 which I defined manually long back.

    Things use to operate in this configuration that I have configured hosts with MTU 9000 and cisco SMB switch default Jumbo.

    the LinkSpeed of 100 Mbps is bugging me, after changing to 1 Gbps (manual setting) the card NETWORK has deactivated, and it reminded me to switch!

    So I put the LinkSpeed Auto negotiation, MTU 9014, stop the two hosts, restart the switch. restarted my computer.

    Since it uses for things were in a normal state.

    Even the question of the console (black screen) disappeared. :-)

  • VSphere hypervisor and Vsphere connecting the same machine

    Hi guys,.

    I have a basic question that drunk that I can't seem to find an answer.

    I'll put up a test of domestic/vmware server environment, but I only have one computer. I want to install ESXi on this computer, and then run VSphere via localhost to manage computers from the VM on the same host. So far, I've always set up ESXi on a host machine and then managed remotely, with my laptop. But I don't have the option here. Is there something in ESXi that allows this configuration?

    Thank you

    Gareth

    You can certainly run a Windows VM on the ESXi host, but you will still need another system to access. ESXi itself does not provide a graphical interface, and I'm not aware of any 3rd third-party tool that adds this feature either.

  • I/o control of storage - "connected to one or more hosts pre-4.1 version...".  No, I'm not.

    Subject says it all.  When I click on the control of i/o Storage box, I get the message '< name of the data store > data store is connected to one or more hosts pre-version 4.1 that do not control of storage i/o support.  This is false.  There are only two servers connected, and they are the two 5.0 with the latest patch.  What gives?

    Apparently, it's a matter of having the correct license on you host.

    One company more SIOC support so if any host without it is connected to the data store, you will get the error.

    After thinking that out, it was to allow only on data warehouses that are connected to the Ent host exclusevly + and it worked without any errors.

    The one with my installation/ISO-files must have this option disabled because it is shared with the hosts having licences below.

    Of course, I pulled my hair on the error and started watching the bad VMs now outdated information for VirtualCenter until I found this blog:

  • VMWare vSphere 4 hypervisor ESXi 4.1 - can buy upgrade to 4.1 Patch 11 again?

    Hi guys

    I have a x 3650 M2 aging IBM server running the free version of vSphere 4 Hypervisor ESXi 4.1.0 260247.

    I'm looking to install esxi version 4.1 Patch11.

    I have a few questions:
    1. I am able to patch to version 4.1 Patch11 without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine?

    2. I am able to buy the paid version of the Patch11 4.1 so I can get the support of VMware? If so where can I buy it.

    3. Alternatively if I can't buy Patch11 4.1 can I buy VMware vSphere Essentials Kit 5.5 version and update without having to re - build the host and re - import the virtual machine on top of the 4.1? My server is about 4 years, I am worried if she composed with 5.5?

    Kind regards

    Hello, I have an existing the vcenter server install managing two esx 3.5 hosts. The vcenter is version 2.5.0.x. I want to manage my new hosts of vsphere 4.1 esxi through the vcenter. I would check that if I improve my vcenter 2.5.0 for the last version vcenter Server required for the 4.1 that I will be able to manage my old esx 3.5 hosts?

    You can mange ESX 3.x host with vCenter 4.x - you can't manage ESX 4.x, vCenter 2.x hosts

    I think that in a place of upgrade will keep the license server - otherwise you will need to reinstall the server-licensing

  • Impossible to interrogate the alarms &amp; events, alarms does not connect

    Hi all

    I recently ran a question with the DSC alarm event & logging. I have a number of all shared variables libraries set up to record data and alarms at the Citadel. I double checked that the library itself is configured for data recording and alarms, as well as all the variables. Using the DSM, I can see all alarms active in the system across all libraries and can receive all the alarm by program change events.

    For some reason, alarms to one of the libraries are logging, and attempt to query the historical events & alarms via MAX raise an error at about 14 of 15 times (with no code error or indication of why it fails). I have also tried to check the database of the Citadel, with it fails with an error unspecified (presumably during archiving on the side of things alarms, archive data seems to work).

    Can anyone offer an overview on how to solve the problem, preferably without data loss? In addition, how can I avoid this problem in the future?

    Thanks for the suggestion. I tried the llb related, but it could not remove existing data. That said, I managed to resolve the issue.

    Removal of the database of alarms (not only the alarms), did the trick. My approach was:

    1. stop all libraries through DSM

    2. create the new base of Citadel by MAX

    3. use DSC Archive Traces VI to check in the footsteps of the database active for the newly created database

    4. remove the active database

    5 detach the new database

    6. move the new database on disk for the location of the old database

    7. set the new database with the same name as the old database

    8. start all libraries

    At this point all the alarms started logging in correctly and I can query the alarms without problem. The system is on a UPS now, so I hope that any future power failure does not affect the things.

  • How to locate the features seen on the block diagram?
