Server log

The server message log contains operational information for the metadata server.

Each metadata server in the SAN File System cluster has its own log. If you display the server log from either the administrative command-line interface or the SAN File System console, all server logs on all engines in the cluster are consolidated into a single view. The consolidated view of the server message log is called the cluster log.

Fields

Log entries contain the following fields:

Timestamp
A date followed by a local time.
Severity level
Indicates whether the entry is an informational, warning, error, or severe message.
Message ID
A unique identifier for the message.
Message type
Specifies whether the message is a normal log entry or one that was generated as a result of an event on the metadata server.
Metadata server ID
A unique identifier for the metadata server on which the command was issued.
Message
A textual explanation of the message.

The following example shows a message from the cluster log that is displayed through the administrative command-line interface:

2003-04-16 12:55:50  INFORMATIONAL  HSTPG0009I   N  
     msd_engine_0  Using IP 9.38.203.26 port 10192
