Sun Cluster 3.1 4/04 Release Notes for Solaris OS

Shell Version of scds_syslog Does Not Use Facility LOG_DAEMON (4897239)

Problem Summary: Due to an internal error, most Sun-supplied cluster agents are writing messages to the system log (see syslog(3C)) using the LOG_USER facility instead of using LOG_DAEMON. On a cluster that is configured with the default syslog settings (see syslog.conf(4)), messages with a severity of LOG_WARNING or LOG_NOTICE, which would ordinarily be written to the system log, are not being output.

Workaround: Add the following line near the front of the /etc/syslog.conf file on all cluster nodes:


user.warning			/var/adm/messages
This will cause user.warning messages to be logged. A similar line can be added for user.notice messages, but this is not necessary and might cause the logs to fill up too quickly, depending on the mix of applications that are running.
