Verify the binary.errlog CDSL
In version 5.1A or higher, the binary error log /var/adm/binary.errlog should be a context-
dependent symbolic link (CDSL) pointing to a file specific to each cluster node. This makes sure that the
binlogd process on each node stores that node’s events to its own node-specific error log
/var/cluster/members/<memb>/adm/binary.errlog.
If the CDSL is ever deleted, binlogd recreates it as a regular, cluster-common file, which does not work
correctly. To check your file, issue the command:
# ls -l /var/adm/binary.errlog
Correct output looks similar to the following:
>lrwxrwxrwx 1 root adm 43 Jun 11 12:54 /var/adm/binary.errlog -
>../cluster/members/<memb>/adm/binary.errlog
Incorrect output does not show the -> link indicator:
-rw-r----- 1 root adm 560 Jun 11 12:59 /var/adm/binary.errlog
If necessary, correct the file by performing the following steps:
1. Stop the binlogd process on all cluster nodes by issuing the following command on each node:
# /sbin/init.d/binlog stop
2. Saved logs can be analyzed at a later time. If desired, move the original error log to any appropriate
name, for example:
# cd /var/adm
# mv binary.errlog binary.errlog.2002_06_11
3. Issue similar move commands for any node-specific error logs you wish to save, for example:
# mv /var/cluster/members/<memb>/adm/binary.errlog
/var/cluster/members/<memb>/adm/binary.errlog.2002_06_11
# mv /var/cluster/members/<memb>/adm/binlog.saved/binary.errlog.saved
/var/cluster/members/<memb>/adm/binlog.saved/binary.errlog.saved.2002_
06_11
4. Remove existing error logs, ignoring any No such file or directory errors:
# rm /var/adm/binary.errlog
# rm /var/cluster/members/<memb>/adm/binary.errlog
# rm /var/cluster/members/<memb>/adm/binlog.saved/binary.errlog.saved
5. Create the CDSL:
# mkcdsl /var/adm/binary.errlog
6. Restart the binlogd process on all cluster nodes by issuing the following command on each node:
# /sbin/init.d/binlog start
