Purpose

This article provides steps to enable vMotion and Fault tolerance logging for an ESXi/ESX host.

Resolution

To enable vMotion and/or Fault tolerance logging using the vSphere Client:

Log into vCenter Server using the vSphere Client.

Click the ESXi/ESX host.

Click the Configuration tab.

Under the Hardware section, click Networking.

Click Properties for the virtual switch where a VMkernel port has been configured.

In the dialog box that opens, select vmkernel in the Ports tab and click Edit.

To enable vMotion, select Enabled next to vMotion and click OK.

To enable Fault tolerance logging, select Enabled next to Fault tolerance logging and click OK.

Perform these steps for all other hosts as needed in the cluster.

To enable vMotion and/or Fault tolerance logging in the vSphere Web Client:

Log into vCenter using the vSphere Web Client.

Select your ESXi host from the inventory in the Hosts and Clusters view.

In the center panel, go to  Manage > Networking > VMkernel adapters.

Select the VMkernel port to be used for vMotion and Fault Tolerance and click the Edit Settings icon.

If you have not yet created a VMkernel adapter for this purpose, See the document Setting Up VMkernel Networking.

Under Enable Services, select the Fault Tolerance Logging check box. Check the vMotion Traffic box as well, unless that is already configured on this or another VMkernel port. Click OK.

Perform these steps on all other hosts as needed in the cluster.
