Appendix A Maintenance Logs and Tracing Functions

A.1 Log

Files

The CCI software (HORCM) and Hitachi TrueCopy/ShadowImage commands maintain internal
logs and traces which can be used to identify the causes of errors and keep records of the
status transition history of paired volumes. Figure A.1 shows the CCI logs and traces.

HORCM logs are classified into start-up logs and execution logs. The start-up logs contain
data on errors which occur before the HORCM becomes ready to provide services. Thus, if
the HORCM fails to start up due to improper environment setting, users should refer to the
start-up logs to resolve the problem. The HORCM execution logs (error log, trace, and core
files) contain data on errors which are caused by software or hardware problems. These logs
contain internal error data which does not apply to any user settings, and so users do not
need to refer to the HORCM execution logs. When an error occurs in execution of a
command, data on the error is collected in the command log file. Users may refer to the
command log file if a command execution error occurs.
