Conﬁguring Logging in the Startup Script

To enable log ﬁle or syslog logging, you can edit the following portion of the

/sbin/init.d/vxvm-sysboot script that starts the VxVM conﬁguration daemon,

vxconfigd:

# comment-out or uncomment any of the following lines to enable or

# disable the corresponding feature in vxconfigd.

#opts=”$opts -x syslog”

# use syslog for console messages

#opts=”$opts -x log”

# messages to vxconfigd.log

#opts=”$opts -x logfile=/foo/bar” # specify an alternate log file

#opts=”$opts -x timestamp”

# timestamp console messages

# to turn on debugging console output, uncomment the following line.

# The debug level can be set higher for more output. The highest

# debug level is 9.

#debug=1

# enable debugging console output

Uncomment the lines corresponding to the features that you want enabled at startup.

For example, to set up vxconfigd to use syslog logging, uncomment the opts=”$opts

-x syslog” string.

For more information on logginf options for vxconfigd, refer to the vxconﬁgd (1M)

manual page.
