With VMware SRM the logging level is altered from the GUI and does not require a restart of the SRM service. To alter the logging level of an SRA navigate to the Configure -> Log Manager on the left-hand side. Once the Advanced Settings window appears, highlight the logManager.StorageProvider option and select Edit in the top right-hand corner as in Figure 37. Do this on each SRM server.
Figure 37. Navigating to the Log Manager in SRM
On Windows, the SRM logs are titled vmware-dr-xx.log(.gz) and are located at:
%PROGRAMDATA%\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\Logs\
and on the SRM Appliance at:
/opt/vmware/support/logs/srm
The SRDF SRA logs on Windows are titled
EmcSrdfSra_yyyymmdd.log and are located at:
%PROGRAMDATA%\VMware\VMware vCenter Site Recovery Manager\Logs\SRAs\EMC Symmetrix\
and on the SRM Appliance within the Docker container at:
/srm/sra/log
The SRDF SRA log is newly created each day and the file name is distinguished by the appending of the current date in the format shown in the log name. If a clean log is desired, the current log can be renamed to a distinct name (or deleted) and the SRA will automatically create a new log file at the outset of its next operation.
In general, it is easier to generate a support bundle from within SRM which will include all necessary log files. Figure 38 demonstrates the location in the SRM Appliance Management screen for log generation.
