Large files created after executing EMC grabs for ESXi
Hi All,
After executing EMC grabs for ESXi a large files created, some are 900 MB.
Is there any way to make the output file equal to or less than 500MB ?
ElabAdvisor will not accept files greater than 500MB.
Thanks

I expect much of the data is logs, which Elab will not be interested in.
Check the contents of .../var/run/log Is it large?
Try removing some of the historical logs in order to make the extraction smaller.

Hi,
When you collect ESXigrab with -vmsupport option, the vmsupport bundle can take a lot of space indeed - if you only want to run the grab through Elab Advisor, try to rerun it without this option.
Thanks,

Thanks Jasonc and Pawel.
We re-run the grabs without -vmsupport option and file size decreased dramatically.
before I had files with 700MB and 900MB then after removing -vmsupport option files became 1MB and 700KB.
I hope that all information needed from ElabAdvisor and ATLAS are included in these small files!

Did ElabAdvisor work for you with the smaller grab? If yes, we can mark this question as answered
