configuration process. If you choose not to use the wizard, the manual
configuration steps are also described below.
Using the Log Consolidation Wizard
The Log Consolidation Wizard is installed as
/opt/dsau/sbin/clog_wizard.
The wizard supports creating the following configurations:
• a standalone log consolidation server
• a highly-available log consolidation server for use within a single Serviceguard
cluster (intra-cluster use only)
• a highly-available log consolidation server for use by the local Serviceguard
cluster and remote systems, including Serviceguard cluster clients
• a standalone system forwarding logs to a remote log consolidation server
