SLP and A.I.R. logging

nbstserv (master server):

vxlogcfg -a -p NB -o 226 -s DebugLevel=6 -s DiagnosticLevel=6

importmgr (master server, import manager logs within the 226 nbstserv log):

vxlogcfg -a -p NB -o 369 -s DebugLevel=6 -s DiagnosticLevel=6

nbrmms (logs on the media server responsible for monitoring the disk storage):

vxlogcfg -a -p NB -o 222 -s DebugLevel=6 -s DiagnosticLevel=6

stsem (storage server event manager, stsem logs within the 222 nbrmms log):

vxlogcfg -a -p NB -o 395 -s DebugLevel=6 -s DiagnosticLevel=6

On the media servers that perform the duplication, view the appropriate bpdm and bptm legacy logs. On the media server that initiates the A.I.R. replication operation and on the media server that performs the subsequent import, you can view the bpdm legacy log for additional details.

bpdm (verbose 5)
 
bptm (verbose 5)

You can increase the plugin logging to get additional details within bptm/bpdm or the third-party vendors OST plugin log file regarding the duplication, replication, and import operations.

On the master server, the following legacy logs are also helpful to review:

  • admin - (the admin log logs the bpduplicate or nbreplicate command for the job)

  • bpdbm - (the NetBackup Database Manager program that contains backup policy information, such as files, media, and client information)
