Hello,
I have an esxi 5.1 U2, that some system logs are not updating.
The file .vmsyslogd.err has the following information:
2020-03-23T13:22:26.803Z vmsyslog | : CRITICAL] vmsyslogd daemon starting (2409) |
2020-03-23T13:22:56.971Z vmsyslog.main | : ERROR ] reloading (2409) |
2020-03-23T13:23:15.482Z vmsyslog.loggers.file | : ERROR ] Write to /scratch/log/hostd.log failed: No such file or directory |
2020-03-23T13:23:15.482Z vmsyslog.main | : ERROR ] <hostd> failed to write log, disabling |
I've check the file sytems, and there is enough space.
I've also revised the scratchconfig location, and points to valid path, as well as the syslog global dir:
The end of the hostd.log file is:
How could I solve this issue? The server keeps rebooting randomly, and I can't get why is doing so.
Regards,
Hi
- In your log file (last screenshot), there is a problem with your config.xml file (the last screenshot), so check your config.xml file from /etc/vmware/hostd to see what is the problem. If you have a backup from your config.xml file, you can restore it by replacing it with the old one.
- You can also run "vdf -h" to check your RAMDisk space.
- Check other log files such as vmkwarning.log, vmkernel.log, and vpxa.log to find more clues
I hope these could be helpful
You do know you’re running an unsupported version right? Get to 6.5 at least if you can...
Hello Ardaneh,
What shuold I check on config.xml?
BTW, ramdisk space is fine:
I can't upgrade to newer version because the hardware is not supported, is a HP Proliant DL 180 G6 with a basic RAID controller, no hard.
Regards,
Hello
I mean check if your config.xml file is not corrupted or missing proper tags. Please check other log files to find more information.
