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.

2 To exit without exporting the controller log le, click Return to Previous Page.
