NetBackup™ for Sybase Administrator's Guide

Enable the debug logs manually (Sybase) (UNIX/Linux)

This topic describes how to manually create the directories that are used for debug logging. More information is available on how on how to use logs and reports.

See the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.

To enable the debug logs manually

  1. Create the following directories on the client:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bpbkar
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/bphdb
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/tar
    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/sybackup

    For example:

    cd /usr/openv/netbackup/logs
    mkdir bphdb

  2. Enable logging for the nbpem, nbjm, and nbrb scheduling processes that use unified logging.

    NetBackup writes unified logs to /usr/openv/logs.

    You do not need to create log directories for the processes that use unified logging.

  3. If you create a debug log directory on the client, NetBackup for Sybase records the dump file name in the resulting debug log.

    The debug log directory that you can create is as follows:

    /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/sybackup

    NetBackup for Sybase sends an informational message that specifies the dump file name to Sybase backup server.
