Starting system message logging to a PCMCIA or external
flash card
Begin or stop logging system messages to the PCMCIA card (or external flash on the 8895
SF/CPU).
Be aware that when you remove the PCMCIA (or external flash) card from the primary SF/
CPU, a trap is generated and system logging continues in DRAM only.
Caution:
Risk of data loss
Before removing the PCMCIA (or external flash) card from your primary SF/CPU, you must
stop the logging of system messages. Failure to do so may corrupt the file system on the
PCMCIA (or external flash) card and cause your log file to be permanently lost.
Procedure steps
To begin or stop logging system messages on the PCMCIA (or external flash) card,
use the following command:
config log logToPCMCIA <true|false>
