syslog
This is output on UNIX system. Together with the messages output by UNIX, the messages output
from iSM and ReplicationControl are recorded. The output format depends on the OS (HP-UX or
Solaris). Output/no output or output destinations of messages, which is output to syslog, can be
specified by modifying descriptions for type (level) and function (facility) in OS settings file
(/etc/syslog.conf).
Note 1: On Solaris system, a message, of which function is “daemon” and classification is “INFO”,
is not output as the default value. Also, a message, of which function is “user” and
classification is “WARNING”, “NOTICE”, or “INFO” is not output as the default value.
To output these kinds of messages, modify the OS settings file.
Note 2: The function of messages output from the iSM to syslog is “Daemon”. However, the
function of the messages output by the ReplicationControl command is “user”.
Messages are output being affixed the following directory/file name as the default value:
HP-UX system:
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
Solaris system:
/var/adm/messages

Event log
This is output on Windows system. Together with the messages output by windows, the messages
output from the iSM and the ReplicationControl are recorded. The messages are output to
application log in the event log. The event log has the functions similar to those of UNIX syslog,
however, the content of the log are different. The event log can be viewed using the [Event Viewer]
in the Management Tool. A message classification and an event log type correspond as follows.
ERROR: Error
WARNING: Warning
NOTICE/ INFO: Information
y
ESMPRO Manager
Messages are output to ESMPRO Manager in the Windows environment. If ESMPRO Agent has
been installed in the management server on which the Storage Manager has started, messages to be
notified to the ESMPRO manager of all the messages that the Storage Manager server outputs to an
event log are automatically set to display on the ESMPRO Manager alert viewer. To change the
setting, ESMPRO Agent notification setting must be changed. The notification function provided by
ESMPRO is also available.
