Use the force keyword to execute the script immediately without asking for
confirmation. (Optional)
After the script completes, issue the appropriate show commands to verify that
the script executed as expected.
Managing the Log File
The storage router can log event information to a series of log files, based on the
routing rules specified in the storage router logging table. The default
configuration routes all storage router event messages at notification level info or
lower to the log file. Use the show logging commands to display log file
entries and to search for entries that match specific text strings or regular
expressions.
Log files are created in the storage router log directory (/ata4/log). They can
occupy up to 4 MB of memory. Once this limit has been reached, the oldest file is
removed and a new one is created. The show logging size command can be
used to display the size of the existing log files. The show system command
can be used to display the amount of space allocated to log files, and the amount
of log file space currently available.
The name of the log file is
messages, followed by a number (for example,
messages3 or messages12). The first log file is named messages0, the next log
file is named
messages1, and so on.
Depending on the needs of your enterprise, you can archive log files to a remote
server, or you can clear log files on a periodic basis. You can use FTP to transfer
files from the storage router to a remote server (see the
“Using FTP with the
Storage Router” section on page 201 for details), or you can use the web-based
GUI to display the contents of the log file and use cut-and-paste techniques to save
the information to a local file. You can also issue the show logging all
command and redirect the output of your console using the logging facilities for
your specific console interface.
Note: See the “Understanding Logging” section on page 204 for more information
about adding routing rules to the storage router logging table.
