Hi everyone,
It might be a stupid question, but I was wondering about the following:
I was trying to clean up one of our datastores, and came across a Folder called "vmkdump" containing a single file named something like "xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxxx-xxxxx.dumpfile". I found out those a dumps of the ESXi Server used when the machine crashes. Now my question is, are those files created when the machine crashes, or is this file created while the Server is running and data is collected until the Server crashes?
I guess in the end what I'm really asking is, can I get rid of that dumpfile, because we don't Need it anymore, or is at least one active dumpfile needed for the Server to function properly?
Thanks in advance,
Fabian Fritsch
