Coredump file is active but configuration issue is not resolved

[aparrna51193]

In newly deployed host, there is this configuration issue "no coredump target has been configured" and I have created a coredump file manually in my shared datastore. I have checked the status and the file is both active and configured. But I have the issue displaying in host summary. Do i need to reboot the host for effect?? Or Is there any other solution possible to resolve coredump configuration issue???  (Note: I have tried coredump partition. Still no progress.)

What are the coredump settings?

You can check with

$esx = Get-VMHost -Name MyEsx

$esxcli = Get-EsxCli -VMHost $esx -V2

$esxcli.system.coredump.partition.list.Invoke()

thank you but even after configuring coredump partition and file settings, configuration issue is not resolved

[aparrna51193]

Can I resolve this issue without rebooting host?

Those lines do not configure the coredump settings, they just list the current settings.

Normally setting the coredump settings does not require a reboot afaik.

Ya. I have used the following commands to create coredump file in my shared datastore.

$esxcli.system.coredump.file.add($null, "datastore1", $true, "coredumpfile", 100)

file is also created in datastore and its active.

still configuration issue is not resolved

Did you list the settings with the lines I sent earlier?

Can you share what it displays?

[aparrna51193]

I don't have a screenshot. Will share it tomorrow. Currently I'm in my home. but the output for coredump file creation is like this

Path                                                                              Active Configured

------------------------------------------------------------------------          ------ ----------

/vmfs/volumes/52b021c3-f6b3da50-4c76-001d0904c5a5/vmkdump/coredumpfile1.dumpfile    true  true

That looks ok.
You did check that the path is correct?

[aparrna51193]

yes. I did. Coredump files are both active and configured in my shared datastore. But still " no coredump target" configuration issue is not resolved. After rebooting my host the issue is resolved. I'm confused.:smileyconfused:
