Server side (Linux – RHEL4)

The following steps are used to log RAID subsystem messages to a disk file. In the followings, all messages are setup with facility “Local1” and event level “WARNING” or higher are logged to /var/log/raid.log.

1.Flush firewall

2.Add the following line to /etc/syslog.conf

Local1.warn /var/log/raid.log

3.Send a HUP signal to syslogd process, this lets syslogd perform a re-initialization. All open files are closed, the configuration file (default is /etc/syslog.conf) will be reread and the syslog(3) facility is started again.

4.Activate the system log daemon and restart

5.Check the syslog port number, e.g., 10514

6.Change controller’s system log server port number as above

7.Then, syslogd will direct the selected event log messages to /var/log/raid.log when syslogd receive the messages from RAID subsystem.

For more detail features, please check the syslogd and syslog.conf manpage (e.g.,man syslogd).
