How to delete ESXi vmkdump

VMKDUMP:

Typically, a partition to collect diagnostic information, also called VMkernel core dump, is created on a local storage device during ESXi Installation


Firstly list the core dump file (ssh to ESXI)

esxcli system coredump file list


[root@1:~] esxcli vm process kill --type=hard -w=1412715

[root@1:~] esxcli system coredump file list

Path                                                                                                                Active  Configured        Size

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  ------  ----------  ----------

/vmfs/volumes/5ae54067-fc83bd0a-8833-901b0ed032f0/vmkdump/63D5A403-A025-3F46-BB77-4EB94B28583C-3836739584.dumpfile    true        true  3836739584

[root@1:~]


De-activate actively using dump file using:

esxcli system coredump file set --unconfigure | -u

Remove the dumpfile

esxcli system coredump file remove -f /vmfs/volumes/5ae54067-fc83bd0a-8833-901b0ed032f0/vmkdump/63D5A403-A025-3F46-BB77-4EB94B28583C-3836739584.dumpfile
