NetBackup™ Logging Reference Guide

UNIX logging with syslogd

On UNIX, NetBackup uses syslogd to record robotic errors, network errors, and state changes for robotically controlled drives. On HP-UX, the sysdiag tool may provide additional information on hardware errors.

To enable this additional logging, use one of the following methods:

  • Use the ltid command with the -v option to start the device management processes. This option starts robotic daemons and vmd in verbose mode.

  • Use a command and the -v option to start a specific daemon (for example, acsd -v).

Errors are logged with LOG_ERR, warnings with LOG_WARNING, and debug information with LOG_NOTICE. The facility type is daemon.
