Name

savelogs - Saves the hardware log information.

Format

/usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/savelogs [-o] [filename]
/usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/savelogs -m[o] [-R root_path] [directory]
/usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/savelogs -r [-R root_path] [directory]

Function

The savelogs command collects and saves hardware information together as data for investigation when a hardware failure occurs. A file is made in the tar format and compressed.
The logs to be saved are:

• SCF error log file (including OBP/POST log)
• Power log file
• Output of the fjprtdiag or prtdiag command
• Message log file
• Output of the prtconf command
• Watchdog log file
• Halt log file
• Machine administration monitoring log

The savelogs command starts the scferrlog command, updates the SCF error log information, and then saves the information.

Option

The options are:

filename

Specify the name of the file you want to save the collected information in. If no name is specified, the system saves the information in a file with the following file name:
/var/opt/FJSVmadm/tmp/FJSVmadmlogs.tar.Z

directory

Specify the directory to save the collected information to or the directory of the restore source.
If no directory is specified, the system uses the following directory:
/var/opt/FJSVmadm/tmp

-m

Saves the monitoring and setting information for machine administration and remote support.

-o

Unconditionally overwrites a storage file, if the storage file name exists.
The file is not overwritten by default.

-r

Restores the monitoring and setting information for machine administration and remote support.
If the specified directory does not contain the storage file with the monitoring and setting information for machine administration and remote support, an abnormal end results.

-R root_path

Specify the full path name of the directory to use in root_path.
Machine administration saves or restores monitoring and setting information in the boot environment mounted in root_path.

Example of use

The following is an example of saving data in the file used by default.

# /usr/sbin/FJSVmadm/savelogs   

The following is an example of saving data in a file named /tmp/abc001.
