About changing the location of unified log files

The unified logging files can consume a lot of disk space. If necessary, enter the following to direct them to a different location. However, do not save logs to a remote file system such as NFS or CIFS. Logs that are stored remotely can grow large and cause critical performance issues.

UNIX

/usr/openv/netbackup/bin/vxlogcfg -a -p NB -o Default -s 
LogDirectory=new_log_path

Where new_log_path is a full path, such as /bigdisk/logs.

Windows

install_path\NetBackup\bin\vxlogcfg -a -p NB -o Default 
-s LogDirectory=new_log_path

Where new_log_path is a full path, such as D:\logs.
