ESXi VMsupport dump: Qlogic Adapter Information.
There are a few files within the ESXi vmsupport dump that contain pertinent information regarding the Qlogic adapters and devices that are connected to them. The \tmp\esxcfg files, \tmp\esxcli, \var\log\esx-boot, \var\log\messages.
The esxcfg-info file contains the most information in one place and is the main file to look at. The hba pci vendor id and pci bus information, adapter type, hba configuration settings, storage devices connected to the adapter, and adapter driver versions are all obtained from this file.
The esxcli files contain information regarding the esx hba instance, target, lun, storage device model, wwnn, wwpn of hba and storage device, pathing information, path status, Path selection policy and Storage array type.
The \var\log\messages files contain Messaging for all activity on the host console. There are vmkernel messages within this file. The most recent (current ) message log file is messages, the preceeding log file is messages.0, messages.1 etc.
