3.8 Setting Up Integrated Traces

When HDLM is used, dlnkmgr commands and GUI operation logs are output to the
integrated trace information files of Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library
(HNTRLib2) (installation-destination-drive:\Program
Files\HITACHI\HNTRLib2\
spool\Hntr2n.log files (n indicates a file number)). In Windows Server 2003 (IPF and
x64), replace Files with Program Files (x86).

If there is a significant amount of integrated trace information output information may end
up deleted in a short amount of time. Also, if a large amount of integrated trace information
is output at once, the integrated trace information that overflowed the buffer might not be
saved in integrated trace files. To save as much information as possible, change the settings
for Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library, increasing the integrated trace file size and
buffer size. Note that specifying the values too large places a heavy load on the system.
When determining these values, consider these operational tradeoffs.

Table 3.15 shows the default and recommended values for the integrated trace file settings.

If Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library (HNTRLib2) is already installed, the existing
settings will be inherited. If you change these settings, keep in mind that they are used by
programs other than HDLM. If an earlier Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library
(HNTRLib) is already installed, the settings are not inherited.
