Array Logs
About Log Files
There are two types of log database files, as mentioned earlier, generated by
the array: controller logs and usage logs. Each type of entry is stored in its
own log database file.
■ Controller (Device) Logs - Controller log entries are generated from the
internal array events. Command View SDM polls the array every 15
minutes to retrieve log entries. These log entries are stored in controller
log database file.
The poll interval is controlled by the Controller Log Polling Interval setting
(default = 15 minutes) in the array software configuration file:
/opt/sanmgr/commandview/server/config/PanConfigParams.txt
■
Usage (State) Logs - Entries for the usage log database are generated
from the output of the armdsp -a command. See "armdsp" on page 119
for more information. The Command View SDM log software runs the
armdsp -a command and stores the output as entries in the usage log
file. The interval at which this occurs is determined by the State Log Polling
Interval setting in the array configuration file. The default setting is 24 hours
but can be changed.
Directory Structure
The array software creates the log directories on a daily basis. The directory
structure for the controller database and the usage database is shown below:
/<BaseLogDirectory>/device/<arrayWWN>/2000-01/01-ctrlr.log
/01-usage.log
/02-ctrlr.log
/02-usage.log
.
.
2000-02/01-ctrlr.log
/01-usage.log
All log files are located under a user specified directory
<BaseLogDirectory> determined at installation. The Controller and
Usage log files are located under the device directory. The arrayWWN
directory is determined by the world wide name of the array. The next
directory specifies the year and month (yyyy-MM) the file was created for
