Troubleshooting with Driver Logs
All messages from the QLogic FC 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:

Table A-6 lists the more common driver log messages and provides an
explanation of each.
Table A-6. Common Driver Log Messages
"qla2x00_set_info starts at address = xxxxxxxx"
Driver is reporting the starting address where the driver was loaded in case an oops occurs in the driver.
"qla2x00: Found VID=xxxx DID=yyyy SSVID=zzzz SSDID=vvvv"
Driver is reporting which adapter it has found during initialization.
"scsi(%d): Allocated xxxxx SRB(s)"
Driver is reporting the number of simultaneous commands that can be executed by the adapter. The
max_srbs option (see Table 3-1 on page 3-7) can change this number.
