VMware 5.5 log file location
We are getting ready to migrate to VMware 5.5 and have a new server with ESXi mirrored 2GB SD's. I was told I need to redirect the log files to another location in case they may fill the SD. So, I could redirect them to our SAN correct? Anyone know how to do this? Do I need to create a LUN and format to NFS or another format?
Any help is appreciated.

This solution is only available to members.
To access this solution, you must be a member of Experts Exchange.
You will need to edit the Advanced Settings, by using the vSphere Client,
Select the Host Server > Configuration > Advanced Settings.
Change the ScratchConfig.ConfiguredSc ratchLocat ion configuration option, specifying the full path to the directory. For example:
/vmfs/volumes/DatastoreUUI D/logs/.lo cker-ESXHo stname
we use folders on a datastore called logs, and then
.locker-esxi001
make sure the logs and ..locker-esxi001 are created. You will also need the UUID name of the datastore.
Also, you could enable and log to a Syslog server.
