Log File Settings

Both ETERNUSmgr and the target devices output information relating to operations and errors in
the form of log files. ETERNUSmgr log files are saved in text format.
This section explains the ETERNUSmgr log settings. Refer to "ETERNUSmgr User Guide -Set-
tings/Maintenance-" for details on how to collect and view the target device log information.
The following messages are output to the ETERNUSmgr log file. For details on individual log
messages, refer to
• Startup messages (LOGFILE_MODE=1,2)
• Parameter information (LOGFILE_MODE=1,2)
• Polling information (only LOGFILE_MODE=2)
• Error information (LOGFILE_MODE=1,2)
Log files can be viewed with a text editor, etc.
The log files are located in the directory specified by the "LOGFILE_PATH" parameter in the
setup file.
The log file names are represented by the character string consisting of "stxpe" + Date + ".log"
(e.g. "stxpe20081201.log"), making it easy to find the log file for a specific date.
Log Files Directory
This parameter specifies as an absolute path the directory where the log files are to be kept.
The default if there is no setting is the directory from which the execution control script is started
for the Solaris OS, HP-UX, AIX, and Linux version and "C:\WINNT\SYSTEM32\" for the Win-
dows® version.
Initially, immediately after ETERNUSmgr installation, the setup file should contain a parameter
that is set to the "log_1" directory under the ETERNUSmgr installation directory specified at
installation (specifically, "/opt/FJSVgrmgr/log_1/" for the Solaris OS, HP-UX, AIX, and Linux
versions, and "C:\Program Files\FUJITSU\ETERNUSmgr\log_1" for the Windows® version if the
normal installation defaults are accepted). However, if this is likely to overload the file system,
consult with the server administrator and change it to a more suitable directory (e.g. "/var/
FJSVgrmgr/log_1/" for Solaris OS, HP-UX, AIX, and Linux, or "D:\ETERNUSmgr\log_1\" for
Windows®).
[Parameter]
LOGFILE_PATH (up to 64 characters)
[Example]
• Changing the Solaris OS, HP-UX, AIX, and Linux version setting to
"var/FJSVgrmgr/log_1":
