• “Overview” (page 73)

Overview
The low level log is required to view information about hardware details and system errors.
The Log Viewer enables you to view low level log information from the log database on a local
HP-UX system. The low level log information include Log Id, Log Index, Device Id, Device Type,
and Time of occurrence.
You can find the low level log information in both Current Log Database and Archive Log Database.
By default, the most recent low level log information is stored in the current log database.
The low level log information is automatically transferred from the Current Log Database to the
Archive Log Database based on either of the following criterion, or whichever occurs first:
• The age of the log is greater than 10 days. Logs older than 10 days are automatically stored
in the Archive Log Database.
• The page size of the database exceeds 140.
Records in the archive log database are saved for one year. The number of pages in the Archive
Log Database size is 340. These values are defined as XML elements surrounded by <DBConfig>
tag in /var/opt/sfm/conf/DBConfig.xml. If they are changed, enter the following command
at the HP-UX prompt:
# sfmconfig -c /var/opt/sfm/conf/DBConfig.xml
sfmDBUtil
To create a backup of Postgres database, sfmDBUtil utility is used.
/opt/sfm/bin/sfmDBUtil
It can also be used for the following:
• To restore the backup of Postgres database.
• Deleting the contents of the database tables.
• Displaying disk space usage by databases.
