Virtual Center logs path

[ksuchewie]

I have my virtual center installed on a seperate physical 2003  server.  When I installed it I pointed it to install on a different partition (E:) other than the boot drive (C:).  The drive space on the C: has been growing for awhile now, and I noticed there are about 3 gig worth of logs on C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware.  Would it be ok to move these to E: or even delete these logs?  Can I point the Virtual Center server to put the log files on E: instead?

Hello.

Check out kb 1009145.  For step 4, I would stop the vCenter Server service, move the current log directory and then restart the vCenter Server service.

Good Luck!

I cannot get virtual center service to run now

Can you roll back the changes?

I removed the statement:

<directory>E:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\Logs</directory>

from vpxd.cfg and it will not start.

What did you use to edit the file?  Does the vpxd.log file report any errors?

[ksuchewie]

ok got it.  Even though the directory is empty, do not delete the folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\VMware\VMware VirtualCenter\sysprep

Glad to hear it worked!
