NetBackup logging for KVM
For log messages about KVM backups or KVM restores, see the following NetBackup log directories.
Table:
Log directory | Contains the messages on | Resides on |
|---|---|---|
install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpbrm | Backup and restore | Primary or media server |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\bptm | Backup and restore | Media server |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpfis | Snapshot creation and backup | KVM host/Backup host |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpcd | Snapshot creation and backup | KVM host/Backup host |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpbkar | Backup | KVM host/Backup host |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\bprd | Restore | Primary server |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\bpVMutil | KVM host configuration, discovery, and restores | KVM host/Backup host |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\nbproxy | Policy configuration | KVM host/Backup host |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\ncfnbcs (originator ID 366) ncfnbcs uses unified logging. See the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide for information on how to use unified logs. | Automatic virtual machine selection and KVM host configuration and discovery | Primary server, KVM host/Backup host |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\ncfnbrestore (originator ID 357) ncfnbrestore uses unified logging. See the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide for information on how to use unified logs. | Restore | Primary/KVM host |
Windows: install_path\NetBackup\logs\vxms Linux: /usr/openv/netbackup/logs/vxms | File mapping during backup | KVM host/Backup host See Configuring VxMS logging . Note: The use of VxMS logging can reduce the performance of the backup host. |
install_path\NetBackup\logs\nbwebservice | KVM host configuration and discovery | Primary server |
Note:
Except for unified logging directories, these log directories must already exist in order for logging to occur. If these directories do not exist, create them.
To create most of these log directories, run the following command on the NetBackup servers and KVM hosts:
Windows:install_path\NetBackup\logs\mklogdir.bat
UNIX (on primary or media servers):/opt/openv/netbackup/logs/mklogdir

More detail is available on snapshot logs and logging levels. See the NetBackup NAS Administrator's Guide. A broader discussion of logging is available. See the NetBackup Logging Reference Guide.
