ds.log

NAME

       ds.log - Availability Suite data services log file

DESCRIPTION

       The  /var/adm/ds.log file contains the Availability Suite data services command log. The administration commands log activities to the file
       in the format:

	 date time product: message

       Note that when the size of the log file exceeds 10 Mbytes, ds.log is renamed  /var/adm/ds.log.bak  and a new /var/adm/ds.log file  is  cre-
       ated.

       The ds.log fields are:

       date

	   The	date format is mmm nn, where mmm  is  the local three-character abbreviation for the month and nn is the day of the month on which
	   the event occurred.

       time

	   The time of the event, in hh:mm:ss format.

       product

	   A product code that identifies which component of the data services produced the event. The code is separated  from	the  message  that
	   follows by a colon (:) and a space.

       message

	   A  message  that  can extend over  more  than  one  line describing the event that occurred. The second or following lines are not pre-
	   fixed by  the  date, time, and product code strings.

EXAMPLES

       The example below shows sample ds.log file content:

	 Jan 25 05:26:17 ii: iiboot suspend cluster tag <none>
	 Jan 25 05:32:02 ii: iiboot resume cluster tag <none>
	 Jan 25 05:32:04 sv: svboot: resume /dev/vx/rdsk/bigmaster
	 Jan 25 05:32:04 sv: svboot: resume /dev/vx/rdsk/bigshadow
