Question

Accepted Answer

Redo log files are used in VMware to track changes to virtual machine states, ensuring data integrity during operations.

Redo log files store changes made to a virtual machine's memory and disk state.
They are crucial for VM snapshots and help in restoring the VM to a previous state.
vmsn files are snapshot files that contain the state of the VM's memory at the time of the snapshot.
vmsd files are metadata files that store information about the snapshots, including their hierarchy and configuration.
Example: If a VM crashes, the redo logs can help recover unsaved changes since the last snapshot.
