Are the actions logged to vmkernel.log?
Just trying to figure out why my VM migration to different host hangs at 9% & times out & then doing it again (same VM, fro m same host to same host as the failed attemp previously) just works fine.
The same happens if it is migration due to DRS or manual by hand

To answer your question - yes some of the actions are logged to vmkernel, but also to the hostd log as well.
An additional - but not well known summary of the migrations can also be found in the /proc/migration/history file
