Log files that reside on this cluster can be consolidated.
Would you like to consolidate this cluster's syslogs? (y/n)

Would you like to consolidate this cluster's package logs?
(y/n) [y]:
In a Serviceguard cluster, you can consolidate all the member-specific
syslog files into a single consolidated syslog containing syslog.log,
mail.log and syslog-ng.log. Each member-specific package log can
also be consolidated.
Note that if you choose to consolidate the cluster’s syslogs, the remote
clients can also forward UDP syslog messages to the cluster, regardless
of the answer to the “Do you want to use the TCP protocol” question. If
you choose not to consolidate this cluster’s syslogs, then choosing a TCP
transport earlier will require that all log forwarding clients be configured
to use the TCP transport.
The consolidated logs are placed in the filesystem associated with the
package. Using the example above, the consolidated syslog.log would
be located here:
/clog/syslog/syslog.log,mail.log,syslog-ng.log
The consolidated packages logs would be located here:
/clog/package/ package1 .log, package2 .log, ..., packageN .log
The wizard now has all the data it needs to configure the consolidated
logging package. It displays a summary confirmation screen and then
performs the configuration:
Summary of Log Consolidation Configuration:
You have chosen to configure clustername as a Log Consolidation
Server.
Logs will be forwarded from the remote consolidation clients to local
port port-number using the TCP protocol.
For high availability the Serviceguard package "clog" will be
configured with the following attributes:
Volume Group: vgclog
Logical Volume: /dev/vgclog/lvol1
Filesystem: /clog
Mount Options: -o rw,largefiles
Filesystem Type: vxfs
IP Address: 123.456.789.10
