Troubleshooting

Common errors SOAP messages VDDK logs

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 ESX/ESXi Servers.

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

VDDK logs

The Plug‑in for VMware uses the VMware VDDK API for image-level backups and restores and file-level browse and backup operations. To diagnose or troubleshoot errors encountered during such operations, Dell Software Technical Support may require the VDDK logs.

To generate VDDK logs

1

Open the vmware.cfg file in any text editor. You can find this file in <NetVault Backup home>\config on Windows and <NetVault Backup home>/config on Linux.

2

Set the value for the following entry to True:

[Custom:GenerateVddkLogsOnDisk]

By default, this value is set to False. It should only be changed under the direction of Dell Software Technical Support.

3

Retry the operation with the new setting. The plug-in generates VDDK log files entitled vixDiskLib*.log in the following directories:

•

Windows: <SYSTEMDRIVE>\WINDOWS\Temp\vmware-SYSTEM

•

Linux: /tmp/vmware-root

4

After capturing the logs, reset [Custom:GenerateVddkLogsOnDisk] to False.
