your lectures are much helpful. But i find the lectures aren't organized in a sequence and file names are lengthier. Had it been stating only what is in that file, instead of a whole bunch on file names it would be more convenient for users to view the file. Just a small input
@Rejeeve Yes, Troubleshooting lectures are not in sequence. I totally agree with you on this and there is reason behind this. You can check out our vSphere Administration training where all the lectures are in sequence. Files names are longer because that's how SEO works. we put tremendous efforts in creating these videos and if google doesn't search out these videos then our entire efforts go waste. Hence we need to provide title which are SEO friendly not learner's friendly. I hope you understand our point and concern as well.
@@govmlab Thanks. I understand your concern. As a user i felt that, your videos could have more views as compared to a whole lot of junk out there. You could add key words on to the KEY Word section for SEO rather than on the title. Because many a time when the title isn't crisp enough, i personally don't click in to watch. Even after seeing a lot of you videos its still hard to find the videos which i am looking for. And the search is also not suggesting the videos as it should.
Question: esxcli system coredump (file list) and (esxcli.....file get) are the same ryt. what is the get command actually doing? where its already been said that the file is active and configured. both active and configured refer to the same file, whereas you say they are different. Isn't the get command restoring the current dump file configuration and also ensuring that the file is active and configured? Please clarify
Hi Rejeeve, Yes, both the commands are identical but there is slight difference between these two commands if you observe them closely. ESXCLI ....file get command will print the path to the active and/or configured VMFS Dump File. ESXCLI .....file list command list the active/configured VMFS diagnostic files. Since our case, both Active and Configured files are same so we don't see much difference. But in some environment, where active and configured files are different then we might find get commands more useful to identify the exact path of both active and configured coredump file. ESXCLI ......file list command will help us to identify currently Active Coredump file out of multiple coredump files configured on system. In Short, as long as you have configured only 1 file as coredump file then there is not much difference in both CLIs output.
Please make sure your ESXi booting with the right disk having upgraded image. It might happen that you installed upgraded version to some other disk and booting ESXi from different disks. Please check your ESXi bootloader disk details.
Hi If you hosts continuously get into PSOD state then yes, you won't be able to login to Host to extract coredump. In such scenario, you will have to collect Serial Logs which would be capturing all the required information about this PSOD. In production, all the servers should have serial port connectivity to collect Traces when hosts continuously gets into PSOD state. I hope it clarifies your doubt!!
@@govmlab did you mean having a remote server for log dumping ? Didn't find any information on serial port connectivity. Can you elaborate further so I will search articles on the same
Hi Syed Please try configuring VMkernel Dump file by following kb.vmware.com/s/article/2077516 and tried to generate the log file by following kb.vmware.com/s/article/2081902 This should solve your issue.
It is clear that that the log file is created\extracted from the zdump file, but, is the zdump file extracted\created from coredump file? or is it related to the coredump file in any way?
@Rejeeve, Coredump file contains memory state, buffers, registers state of system at the time of crash. Zdump file is used by Development team to get more details about the stacktrace and finding out the root cause of this crash. we extracted only vmkernel.log file from zdump to understand the crash and analyzing it. I hope it clarifies your doubt!!
@@govmlab understood the difference between coredump and zdump. But why are we using esxcli......list command ? wheres we are able to get the log file by simply using esxcfg....devname active. command alone
@@rejeevesundar3982 Hi Rejeeve esxcfg is old CLI interface whereas esxcli is new CLI Interface. All new enhancements is being added to esxcli. for ex. esxcfg-nics and esxcli network nic list. both command shows the same output. but esxcli has better readability and new arguments as compared to esxcfg-* Anyway, it's upto you. you can choose whatever CLI you are comfortable with.

After upgrading esxi host, but loading older version of esxi host, what will be the reason?
Please make sure your ESXi booting with the right disk having upgraded image.
It might happen that you installed upgraded version to some other disk and booting ESXi from different disks.
Please check your ESXi bootloader disk details.
My question : What if the ESX does not go out of PSOD. we cannot get into the DCUI. so can we still get the dump logs ?
Hi
If you hosts continuously get into PSOD state then yes, you won't be able to login to Host to extract coredump.
