Exporting The Controller Log File
Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.
The Export Log task exports the controller log to a text le. This log provides detailed information on the controller activities and can
be useful for troubleshooting.
On a system running Microsoft Windows, the log le is exported to the windows or winnt directory. On a system running Linux, the
log le is exported to the /var/log directory.
Depending on the controller, the log le name is afa_<mmdd>.log or lsi_<mmdd>.log, where <mmdd> is the month and date.
NOTE: In the VMware ESXi environment, only one log le is created (lsiexport.log). If the le exists, exporting the log le
overwrites the existing log le.
NOTE: Controllers without cache cannot store logs and export log les.

Foreign Conguration Operations
