A–Troubleshooting

Troubleshooting with Driver Logs

When the logging is enabled, the driver version in the /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/<adapter number> is appended with a -debugflag as shown below:

#cat /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/5

QLogic PCI to Fibre Channel Host Adapter for QLE2462:

Firmware version 4.04.09 [IP] [Multi-ID] [84XX], Driver version 8.02.01-k1-vmw41-debug

BIOS version 2.10 FCODE version 2.04 EFI version 2.04

Flash FW version 4.06.02 ISP: ISP2432

NOTE:

Although the driver logs provide debugging and error information, they also increase I/O latency. Therefore, QLogic does not recommend that you enable extended logging during normal operations.

Troubleshooting with Driver Logs

All messages from the QLogic Fibre Channel Adapter driver are logged in /var/log/vmkernel. These messages provide additional information about the driver operation: both normal and driver warnings. Messages from the driver are usually preceded by scsi(%d), where %d is the adapter instance number.

The following example shows a snippet from a vmkernel file:
