Configuring error logging in SysFaultMgmt (System Fault Management)
(SFM)
Logging information about the internal operational errors of SysFaultMgmt (System Fault
Management) (SFM) such as system call errors is called, error logging. You can configure error
logging parameters, such as severity, logging target, and the number of backup files by using the
sfmconfig command. To configure these parameters, complete the following steps:

editor.
2. For the changes made in the /var/opt/sfm/conf/FMLoggerConfig.xml configuration
file to take effect, enter the following command at the HP-UX prompt:
# sfmconfig -c /var/opt/sfm/conf/FMLoggerConfig.xml
