Tru64 UNIX Version 4.0G

Stop the binlogd process: # /sbin/init.d/binlog stop

2. If desired, move the original error log to any appropriate name, for example:

# mv /var/adm/binary.errlog /var/adm/binary.errlog.2002_06_11

Saved logs can be analyzed at a later time.

If you skipped step 2, remove the original error log: # rm /var/adm/binary.errlog

Restart the binlogd process: # /sbin/init.d/binlog start

Tru64 UNIX Version 5.A or Higher

A new feature can send a signal to binlogd to save the current log and create a new one without stopping

the process. Follow the steps in section "Verify the binary.errlog CDSL" and section "Clear the Log with

binlogd Running".

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:
