How To Work With VMware Log Files

(Part 2 – Operation: VM creation and modification)

Johnny Zhang

The goal for this document is how to quickly find the needed information for some of the operations that you do every day such as creating VMs, modify it etc. The example of the log file are collect from VMware ESX 4.1.0 and Vcenter 4.1 with all tasks triggered from VIClient connected to vCenter (I will work on a different document for tasks triggered from ESX host)

Log locations:

VMware ESX 4.1.0:

  • messages: /var/log/messages* (Those logs show you what happened inside service console)

  • vmkernel: /var/log/vmkernel* (Those logs give you information about VMkernel and interaction between the VMkernel and attached hardware such as physical NICs, HBAs etc

  • hostd: /var/log/vmware/hostd*.log (The most important logs to show the interactions between VMkerenl and VMs hosted on this ESX server)

  • vpxa: /var/log/vmware/vpx/vpxa*.log (vpxa is the agent running on ESX server, it reports everything from the host to vCenter and vice versa. Those logs are used when the issue is not on the ESX host, but between the host and vCenter)

VM used in this example: Johnny-test

Create A VM

We start with the name of the VM (in this example “Johnny-test”)

“grep -i johnny-test /var/log/vmware/hostd* | grep -i "Create called" | less”

In this command we are looking for the VM named “johnny-test” from all hostd logs, and looking for the keyword “Create called” from the output of the first “grep”.

You can also do this from vCenter side, but I’d like to get the complete opID, you will see why later.

Output from this command:

hostd-12.log:[2011-04-11 11:07:45.971 F5ADCB90 info 'vm:/vmfs/volumes/4cc0989b-5f6597b4-5fa3-001b2132c111/Johnny-test/Johnny-test.vmx' opID=D935FB67-0000006E-b8] Create called: /vmfs/volumes/4cc0989b-5f6597b4-5fa3-001b2132c111/Johnny-test/Johnny-test.vmx

hostd.log:[2011-04-11 11:07:45.971 F5ADCB90 info 'vm:/vmfs/volumes/4cc0989b-5f6597b4-5fa3-001b2132c111/Johnny-test/Johnny-test.vmx' opID=D935FB67-0000006E-b8] Create called: /vmfs/volumes/4cc0989b-5f6597b4-5fa3-001b2132c111/Johnny-test/Johnny-test.vmx

What we are looking for:

Now we know the log file that content the VM creation is hostd-12.log, this is nice to know since we may have many hostd logs in this directory, narrowing down the log would make our life easier. opID=D935FB67-0000006E-b8. If you read my first document about VMotion, you may already know the opID is a support aid put by engineering in ESX 4.1. It’s extremely useful since the same ID is consistent across all logs (ESX and vCenter). We can see there is a “create called” so we know hostd received a create VM call from vCenter via VIClient. It will also list the path of the VM. (If you wonder why a VM did not show up at the location it suppose to be, this will tell you, if this is instructed to do so or the VM was moved later after the creation) Please keep in mind this opID is the same on the ESX server, but only content the first part for vCenter logs (vpxd-*.log)

opID=D935FB67-0000006E

More from logs:

Let’s work our way down: vCenter (vpxd-*log) --> vpxa (/var/log/vmware/vpx/vpxa*.log on ESX) --> hostd (/var/log/vmware/hostd*.log)

vCenter log:

The logs are located in %ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\Logs, which translates to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VirtualCenter\logs in Windows 2003 and C:\ProgramData\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\Logs in Windows 2008.

grep -i D935FB67-0000006E vpxd-[1-9]*.log | less”

Remember we need to use the only the first part of the opID, we are looking for information from vpxd-*logs. Since vpxd-profile*.log are also in the same directory, we look for any files after “vpxd-“ start with a number. Because vpxd-profile*.logs are huge, it can take a long time for grep to finish.

Output of the logs:

Every task will have a task ID which will be send to vCenter DB. All tasks have a “BEGIN” and a “FINISH”. In this case, we have a task number 1619, the first UUID is instance UUID, and the one in the brackets is the VM UUID.

Here, this is not an error. vCenter did a pre-check and sure enough find the VCID to be 0 (since the ID never existed before). You can ignore this message in most cases.

We can see some details from hostd logs. We know the VM was a “Windows 2008 VM” we know the VMDK size for this VM was 2GB, we know the virtual SCSI controller is “lsilogic”

State Transition (VM_STATE_INITIALIZING -> VM_STATE_OFF)

This is the first time hostd have the record of the VM’s power state. And at the end, the “create worker” finished its job.

VM modifications (Edit setting on VM)

Three modifications done to the VM

  1. Changed memory from size

  2. Change vCPU count

  3. Add a virtual NIC

We also start by locating the opID

grep -i johnny-test /var/log/vmware/hostd-* | grep "vim.vm.ConfigSpec" | less”

We are using the key word “vim.vm.ConfigSpec” to find any changes to the VM

In here, I changed the number of vCPUs from default 1 to 2.

The last part:

less -RS hostd-12.log” now search for the opID “/D935FB67-000000B9-32”

Ok, I think you got the idea, here is the virtual NIC added to this VM with assigned mac address and settings.

You can use the opID to filter vpxa and vpxd logs, but for what change was made, hostd is the place you want to look into.
