Clearing the HP Array Logs

Richard Ace — Wed, 16 Jan 2002 16:10:57 GMT

What are the implications if any on stopping the hparray daemon mid flight with user on the system ?

1. /sbin/init.d/hparray stop

2. mv /var/opt/hparray/log/* /tmp

3. touch /var/opt/hparray/log/LOGCATLG

4. /sbin/init.d/hparray start

I would just copy the log files out first, then do a

cp /dev/null /var/opt/hparray/log/log_file

for each log file. That will free up the space without having to stop the process

If you want to clean the logs then use the facility in sam:-

SAM Routine Tasks ->
SAM System Log Files
Action
ADD TO LIST

Then enter path, type and the max size that you would like.

You can then use the trim log option on a "live" log.

You don't need to stop hparray.
Also if you have logs on the autoraid,the ARMServer daemon periodically queries the hardware, and extracts the logs to those files on disk, then clears the hardware logs in the Autoraid.
