Veritas NetBackup™ Bare Metal Restore™ Administrator's Guide

Commands to manage unified logging and log files

The amount of information that is collected and the retention period for that information is configured on the NetBackup master server in the Host Properties Logging properties and Clean-up properties.

See the NetBackup Administrator's Guide for UNIX, Windows and Linux, Volume I.

For information about using and managing logs, see the NetBackup Troubleshooting Guide.

BMR activity log files are in a special format that requires you to use commands for viewing and managing.

The following commands manage unified logging and log files:

vxlogview

Use this command to view the logs that are created by unified logging.

vxlogmgr

Use this command to manage unified logging files (for example, to move or delete log files).

vxlogcfg

Use this command to configure logging settings.

These commands are located in the following directories:

  • /usr/openv/NetBackup/bin directory (UNIX)

  • install_path\NetBackup\bin folder (Windows)
