Logging Messages
HP OTS/9000 uses the nettl(1M) logging and tracing facility supplied
with HP-UX. See the nettl(1M) manual (man) page for information on
using the command line interface.
NOTE All log message cause and action statements are now online and can be
viewed with any ASCII text editor. The OTS cause and action statement
file is /opt/ots/doc/ots_messages.txt.
Listed below are some example commands.
• To examine the log file:
netfmt -file /var/adm/nettl.LOG00 -t 50
Note the message number, then search the messages.txt message
file for a description of the problem and possible solutions. A sample
OTS log message is shown below.
