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 Dell 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:

•
Image-level backups and restores
•
File-level browse and backups

To diagnose or troubleshoot errors encountered during these operations, Dell Technical Support may request you to send the VDDK logs. You can use the following procedure to enable VDDK logging when these operations are performed.

1
In the navigation pane, click Create Backup Job, and then click Create New next to the Selections list.
