VSC Manager outputs the following two types of logs:
System log
Copy log
VSC Manager outputs messages via syslogd(1M).
The settings in /etc/syslog.conf determine whether messages are actually output and to what file. For information on how to make settings in /etc/syslog.conf, see the syslog.conf(4).
VSC Manager outputs messages via syslog service.
This section describes information (called a "copy log") about the starting and stopping of migration and replication. A copy log is written to a "copy log file".
Two copy log files are retained: The current-generation file (to which information is being written) and the previous-generation file. Both files can be distinguished by the suffix. Suffix ".0" denotes the copy log file to which a copy log is written. When the file size of the current copy log file exceeds the limit value, the file is switched to a new copy log file. The "Figure 6.2 Switching copy log files" shows how copy log files are switched.
Figure 6.2 Switching copy log files
File name
Note that "/var/opt/FJSVssmgr/current/vsclog/VscmCopyHistory.0" and "/var/opt/FJSVssmgr/current/vsclog/VscmCopyHistory.1" are the file names of copy log files. Copy log files have file names with suffixes that denote the generation as follows:
Suffix number | Meaning |
---|---|
.0 | A copy log file to which information is currently being recorded |
.1 | A copy log file of a previous generation |
Record format
A copy log has the following five types of records:
Start record
Output at the start of migration or replication.
Normal end record
Output at migration switching or replication detaching.
Abnormal end record
Output when the migration, replication, or EC (ACM) operation terminated the processing abnormally.
Cancellation record
Output when migration, replication, or EC (ACM) is terminated, while copying, in the standing by for automatic switch status or the equivalency maintain status.
Processing failure
In the event of a processing failure or an operation (start, switch, or cancel) failure, the results of record output may not be known and "-" will be displayed.
Each record consists of a common section and a data section.
A common section consists of five items. The items are delimited with a blank.
No. | Name | Description |

1 | Date | Indicates the date on which the record was written in "Mon dd, yyyy" format.
