Logfiles of Chassis Loggin Daemon

[Ralph Grothe]

Hello,

in the error log of our ADSM backup client there frequently appears the following entry:

06/27/01 20:19:08 ANS1228E Sending of object '/var/stm/logs/os/ccbootlog' fail
ed
06/27/01 20:19:08 ANS4037E File '/var/stm/logs/os/ccbootlog' changed during pr
ocessing. File skipped.
06/27/01 20:19:10 ANS1802E Incremental backup of '/var' finished with 1 failur
e

Though the above is rather obvious I wonder if we really need to have cclogd's logfiles incrementally backed up.

Even by reading cclogd's manpage I haven't found out what the various logs are good for.
I only gathered that their contents can be diplayed from within stm.

Possibly the HP techies would need the info to see whether some piece of hardware is defunct?

Regards
Ralph

Hi Ralph.
This is what I found:

Chassis View Boot Log.
The Chassis View Boot Log command allows you to display the contents of the chassis code boot log file (ccbootlog).

The boot log contains mostly informational log entries output by the system as it boots. If the system is experiencing problems booting, this log may contain useful information about the problem.

The boot log is created by the logging daemon (diaglogd). Log entries can come from various system hardware, software and firmware modules.

Chassis logging was implemented beginning with the introduction of N-class systems on HP-UX 11.00, and will be featured on some newer systems as they are released.

Chassis View Error Log.
The Chassis View Error Log command allows you to display the contents of the chassis code error log file (ccerrlog).

The chassis code error log contains entries for chassis codes reported with an alert level indicating that an error has occurred.

For instance, chassis codes are logged if problems occur with the power supplies. By examining the error log, you could see a record of these power supply problems.

The error log is created by the logging daemon (diaglogd). Log entries can come from various system hardware, software and firmware modules.

hope this helps.
