Viewing Disk Array Logs
To display the disk array controller log files, type:
amlog [-s
[-c] [-d
•
StartTime identifies the starting date and time. Log entries with an earlier date and
time will not be displayed. The default is the time of the oldest log entry. The format for
entering the date and time is MMddhhmm[yy], where:
MM = Month (01-12)
dd = Day (01-31)
hh = Hour (00-23)
mm = Minute (00-59)
yy = Year (00-99) [optional] Any number less than 90 will be evaluated as 2000 + yy

EndTime identifies the ending date and time. Log entries with a later date and time will
not be printed. The default is the time of the last log entry. Uses the same format as

that using this option will limit the amount of information displayed, including non-
critical log entries that may be useful for isolating problems.

sequential number. An associated catalog file (AMLCATLG) provides the information

default is to print entries for all disk arrays connected to and recognized by the host. The
