Logging Messages

Logging Messages

Messages generated by the ServeRAID adapter or controller consist of startup information, connecting and disconnecting clients, and error messages.

When using the -f, -f:filename  and -d parameters, you can specify how you want the ServeRAID messages handled.
The default is to log messages to the standard output, which is usually the screen.
However, you can have these messages logged to other output devices, such as a printer or a text file.

The following information provides examples of different formats for using the IPSADM command and the results.

Command	Results
IPSADM	Logs messages to the standard output and not to a file.
IPSADM -f	Logs messages to the standard output and to the IPSADM.LOG file.
IPSADM -f:NEWFILE.LOG	Logs messages to the standard output and to the file that you defined:
	NEWFILE.LOG.
IPSADM -d	Disables the logging of messages.
IPSADM -f -d	Logs messages to the IPSADM.LOG file; however, messages are not
	logged to the standard output.
