Would you like to consolidate this cluster's syslogs? (y/n) [y]:
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 requires 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 package 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: /dev/vgclog
Logical Volume: /dev/vgclog/lvol1
Filesystem: /clog
Mount Options: -o rw,largefiles
Filesystem Type: vxfs
IP Address: 192.10.25.12
Subnet: 192.10.25.0
The following logs on this cluster will be consolidated:
Syslog
Serviceguard package logs

******* WARNING!!!! ********
To protect against possible corruption of sensitive configuration files,
control-c has been disabled for the remainder of this configuration.
Copying files that will be modified by the wizard
to /var/opt/dsau/root_tmp/clog on each cluster node.
These files will be used to restore the cluster to its
current log consolidation configuration, in the event
of a failure.
Configuring cluster_member as a log consolidation server.
The configuration will be done on all cluster nodes.
It will take a few minutes....
Creating the /etc/syslog-ng.conf.server configuration file.
Creating the /etc/syslog-ng.conf.client configuration file.
Creating a symbolic link from /etc/syslog-ng.conf to the
/etc/syslog-ng.conf.client configuration file.
[Halting the "clog" Serviceguard package if it is up.]
