Would you like to consolidate this cluster's package logs? (y/n) [y]:

In a Serviceguard cluster, you can consolidate all the member-specific syslog files into a single consolidated syslog containing syslog.log, mail.log and syslog-ng.log. Each member-specific package log can also be consolidated.

Note that if you choose to consolidate the cluster’s syslogs, the remote clients can also forward UDP syslog messages to the cluster, regardless of the answer to the “Do you want to use the TCP protocol” question. If you choose not to consolidate this cluster’s syslogs, then choosing a TCP transport earlier requires that all log forwarding clients be configured to use the TCP transport.

The consolidated logs are placed in the filesystem associated with the package. Using the example above, the consolidated syslog.log would be located here:

/clog/syslog/syslog.log,mail.log,syslog-ng.log

The consolidated package logs would be located here:

/clog/package/package1.log,package2.log, ...,packageN.log

The wizard now has all the data it needs to configure the consolidated logging package. It displays a summary confirmation screen and then performs the configuration:

Summary of Log Consolidation Configuration:

You have chosen to configure clustername as a Log Consolidation Server. Logs will be forwarded from the remote consolidation clients

to local port port_number using the TCP protocol.

For high availability the Serviceguard package "clog" will be configured with the following attributes:

Volume Group:

/dev/vgclog

Logical Volume:

/dev/vgclog/lvol1

Filesystem:

/clog

Mount Options:

-o rw,largefiles

Filesystem Type:

vxfs

IP Address:

192.10.25.12

Subnet:

192.10.25.0

The following logs on this cluster will be consolidated:

Syslog

Serviceguard package logs

******* WARNING!!!! ********

To protect against possible corruption of sensitive configuration files, control-c has been disabled for the remainder of this configuration.

Copying files that will be modified by the wizard to /var/opt/dsau/root_tmp/clog on each cluster node. These files will be used to restore the cluster to its current log consolidation configuration, in the event of a failure.

Configuring cluster_member as a log consolidation server.

The configuration will be done on all cluster nodes.

It will take a few minutes....

Creating the /etc/syslog-ng.conf.server configuration file.

Creating the /etc/syslog-ng.conf.client configuration file.

Creating a symbolic link from /etc/syslog-ng.conf to the /etc/syslog-ng.conf.client configuration file.

[Halting the "clog" Serviceguard package if it is up.]
