Troubleshooting with Driver Logs

When the logging is enabled, the driver version in the
/proc/scsi/qla2xxx/<adapter number> is appended with a -debug flag
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
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:

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.
