Storage Essentials 5.1 Installation Guide 199
Stopping the CIM Extension
To stop the CIM Extension:
1. Log in to the system as a superuser.
2. Navigate to the following directory:
sys$common:[opt.appqcime.tools]
Where sys$common:[opt] is the directory in which you installed the CIM Extension.
3. Type: $ @stop to stop the CIM Extension.
NOTE: Once the CIM Extension is stopped on the host, the management server will not be able to
gather information about this host.
Rolling Over the Log Files
The logging information for the CIM Extension is contained primarily in the cxws.log file, created
by default in the <Installation_directory>/tools directory. The cxws.log file rolls over
once it becomes more than 100 MB. The information in cxws.log is moved to cxws.log.1. When the
logs roll over again, cxws.log.1 is renamed to cxws.log.2 and the information that is in cxws.log is
moved to cxws.log.1. The numbering for the files continues sequentially, for example, cxws.log.3,
with there being a maximum of three backup logs.
• cxws.log - contains the latest logging information
• cxws.log.1 - contains logging information that was previously in cxws.log
• cxws.log.2 - contains logging information that was previously in cxws.log.1
• cxws.log.3 - contains logging information that was previously in cxws.log.2
The cxws.out file contains some logging information, such as the CIM Extension starting, which is
recorded in case something unexpected happens with the Java Virtual Machine. The CIM Extension
appends the cxws.out file and rolls it over.
The cxws_native.log contains logging information relative to OpenVMS native operations. The
configuration information for cxws_native.log is maintained in
sys$specific:[opt.appqcime.conf] where sys$specific:[opt] is the directory in
which the node-specific files of the CIM Extension are present. When the log file size exceeds the
LOG_SIZE parameter specified in the configuration file for the cxws_native.log, the file rolls
over. The information in cxws_native.log is moved to cxws_native.log.old. If
cxws_native.log.old already exists, it is deleted.
Increasing the Native Logging Level
The configuration information for cxws_native.log is maintained in
sys$specific:[opt.appqcime.config]cxws_native.cfg. In order to increase the
logging level, choose the log level accordingly in this file.
For example, Set LOG_LEVEL to 3 in cxws_native.cfg and restart the CIM Extension to
increase the log level to 3.
