How to debug using vm-support log in ESXi 5.0

[srivicky4u]

Hi All,

      Now we are porting a linux sample block disk driver to ESXi 5.0. During the development we got PSOD in add_disk() function. Once the ESXi 5.0 rebooted after PSOD, we got the log files by executing vm-support script .Here we are struck at how to locate the exact line of source code which caused the PSOD.

Please let me know

How to debug using the vm-support logs and how to point out and locate the exact line of code which causes the PSOD in the vm-support log

Regards,

Hi,

You will want to start with the /var/log/vmkernel.log file from around the time of the psod.
