Check VMWare Logs For Disk Corruption

[bkrosco]

I had an issue 6 months or so ago and VMWare support helped me recover from a corrupted VM. When troubleshooting, the rep looked through some log and showed me where it looked like there was data corruption due to a hardware issue on the server. Can you tell me where that probably was that he looked? I was hoping it was just a fluke but it looks like I'm having troubles with it again.

I'm running a Dell customized version of ESXI 5.5.

Thanks!

You should check the VM log file. Check which datastore the VM is resided and open a SSH session to the VM host and then try to power on the virtual machine.

tail -f /vmfs/volumes/datastore vm is resided/vm folder/vmware.log
