Because a

portlogdump

output is long, a truncated example is presented:

Refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS 4.x command reference guide for information on the

portlogdump

command.

Configuring for syslogd

The system logging daemon (syslogd) is a process on UNIX, Linux, and some Windows systems that

reads and logs messages as specified by the system administrator.

Fabric OS can be configured to use a UNIX-style syslogd process to forward system events and error

messages to log files on a remote host system.

The host system can be running UNIX, Linux, or any other operating system that supports the standard

syslogd functionality.

NOTE:

Fabric OS releases earlier than v4.4.0 did not support UNIX local7 facilities; they supported

kern facilities. Starting with Fabric OS v4.4.0, kern facilities are no longer supported; UNIX local7

facilities are supported (the default facility level is 7).

Configuring for syslogd involves configuring the host, enabling syslogd on the HP StorageWorks switch,

and, optionally, setting the facility level.
