SOAP messages

When you enable tracing, the Plug‑in for VMware generates the following two files along with the other trace logs:

•
vmw(nnn)_soapsent.log
•
vmw(nnn)_soaprecv.log

These files contain communication details between the plug-in and vSphere Web Service running on the VMware vCenter or ESXi Servers.

When you send the trace files to Quest Technical Support, ensure that these two files are included.

Generating VDDK logs

The Plug‑in for VMware uses the VMware VDDK API for the following operations:
