  • 1.  Shutdown unexpected

    Hi all,

    last night we had a problem with 2 esxi hosts, unexpected shutdown.

    On vcenter logs we found this event:

    It seems an user action shutdown with vsphere.local\admin account but we can't find other info (source ip,....).

    Where can i found other info about it ?

    Thanks a lot !!

    Bye.

    With all the events occurring at the same time, I'd assume it's some kind of tool, or script which triggers the shutdown (e.g. an UPS).

    See whether /var/log/audit/sso-events/audit_events.log contains details about the login.

    Hi Andrè,

    i've found a login 2 minutes before the shutdown action as show:

    but I'm not able to find the source of logon. The /var/log/audit/sso-events path doesn't exists on vcenter appliance :smileysad:

    Thanks.
