Our Esxi 4.0 server keep rebooting in every few days. I want to check the Logs but not sure how and what to check in the Logs. Need help in accessing and interpreting logs files on esxi 4.0 server.
ESXi 4.0 is installed on Dell Power Edge 2950. When you say Check CPU, Memory? How do you check that? by opening the server??
Also when i logged in Server it gave me 4 options under View System Logs
1)Messages,
2)Config
3)Management Agent
4)VirtualCenter Agent
I went into all of those and it is zebrish to me.
Not sure how to check the logs you told me.
Is there any way i can copy the log files from server and attach it over here. Please tell me in details as i am no vise in this.

Yes, opening the server is a good idea.
Also check and run diagnostics.
Reboots are often called by hardware failure.
Has this just started to happen, or is this a new install.
