Retrieving and Clearing the System Log
Retrieving and Clearing the System Log
The System Log (different from the Element Manager Message Log)
contains errors or warning states encountered at the SAN Router. The
System Log information will be routinely requested by Technical
Support whenever you report a problem.
Periodically, you should retrieve the System Log to preserve a copy,
before emptying the contents. The System Log is of fixed size; new
entries overwrite the existing oldest entries.
To upload the System Log from the SAN Router to the management
workstation, follow these instructions:
1. Select File>System Log>Retrieve to display the Retrieve System Log
dialog box (
Figure 7-6 on page 7-14).
Figure 7-6 Retrieve the System Log Dialog Box
2. Type the IP address where the management workstation TFTP
server resides.
3. Type or modify the name of the file where you want this segment
of the log stored. For some TFTP servers, if you are creating a new
file, you must place it in an existing subdirectory. The name may
include a path if needed. The name is relative to the “root”
directory defined in the TFTP server.
4. Click the Retrieve button.
5. Choose File>System Log>Delete to display the Delete the System Log
dialog box (
Figure 7-7). Use this dialog box to empty the contents
after you retrieve the contents of the System Log from the SAN
Router.
