What to do next
From the VMware Fusion menu bar, select Help > Collect Support Information to collect
troubleshooting information that Fusion has gathered about a selected virtual machine. Fusion
creates a .zip file on your desktop to contain troubleshooting data.
You can select one of the following options under Collect Support Information:
n Quick: This is an option to collect minimal logs.
The following items are not collected in this option:
n Full physical disk information
n Files :/etc/crontab, /etc/daily, /etc/monthly, /etc/weekly
n Full system and kernel logs
n /var/log/system.*gz, var/log/system.log.*.bz2
n /var/log/kernel.log.*.gz, /var/log/kernel.log.*.bz2
n system_profiler in xml format
n Output file from command : /tmp/system.log, log show --start $(date -v-1d +"%Y-%m-
%d") --style syslog (previously, it was 4 days)
n Full: This option collects full logs.
The following items are collected in this option:
n Existing default items
n All items that are not collected in Quick Collection
Change Hard Disk Buffering
Fusion automatically sets hard disk buffering according to what guest operating system you use,
but you can change the setting.
Hard disk buffering can increase performance of your virtual machine. Hard disk buffering can also
consume more memory on your Mac host than operating unbuffered. Fusion enables or disables
hard disk buffering based on your virtual machine's operating system.
For all Windows Vista and later guest operating systems, Fusion defaults to unbuffered I/O for
Mac hosts. The same is true for all Windows 2000, 2003, XP, and XP 64-bit guests newly created
with this version of Fusion. All other guests default to buffered I/O on Mac hosts.
If you are not familiar with the options, keep the default setting.
Procedure
1 Select Window > Virtual Machine Library.
2 Select a virtual machine in the Virtual Machine Library window and click Settings.
3 Under Other in the Settings window, click Advanced.
