ESXi VMsupport dump: Qlogic Adapter Information.
There are a few files within the ESXi vmsupport dump that contain pertinent
information regarding the Qlogic adapters and devices that are connected to
them. The \tmp\esxcfg files, \tmp\esxcli, \var\log\esx-boot, \var\log\messages.
The esxcfg-info file contains the most information in one place and is the main
file to look at. The hba pci vendor id and pci bus information, adapter type, hba
configuration settings, storage devices connected to the adapter, and adapter
driver versions are all obtained from this file.
The esxcli files contain information regarding the esx hba instance, target, lun,
storage device model, wwnn, wwpn of hba and storage device, pathing
information, path status, Path selection policy and Storage array type.
The \var\log\messages files contain Messaging for all activity on the host console.
There are vmkernel messages within this file. The most recent (current ) message log file
is messages, the preceeding log file is messages.0, messages.1 etc.
