Configuring Logging
Activate Logging
Activate Logging
NetIPC logging is automatically activated at system start up. Link
manager logging and network transport logging are activated when you
initiate the network transport (NETCONTROL START). Network Services
logging is activated when the Network Services are initiated (that is,
when the NSCONTROL START command is issued).
Network Link logging is activated when the specific link is first started.
When you are changing a logging configuration for a specific subsystem,
the changes will normally take effect when you perform a SWITCHNMLOG
UPDATE command. In some cases, however, such as when no logging is
currently active, the subsystem may need to be deactivated and
restarted. The steps that must be taken for each subsystem are shown
in Table 13-1.
How to use the log messages for troubleshooting is described in the
NS 3000/iX Error Messages Reference Manual. How to format the log
file for examination is described in Using the Node Management
Services (NMS) Utilities.
