Dynamic Extended Logging
The QLogic driver provides a mechanism to dynamically enable extended error
logging about driver operation. These logs provide debugging and error
information to help you understand driver behavior regarding issues related to the
adapter. These logs are saved in a system log file named vmkernel, in the
/var/log/ directory.
To enable extended error logging, execute the following command:
# echo "scsi-qlaenable-log" > /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/<adapter_number>
To disable extended error logging, execute the following command:
# echo "scsi-qladisable-log" > /proc/scsi/qla2xxx/<adapter_number>
