3.8.3 Error Handling

The vxconfigd command may exit if serious errors occur. By default, vxconfigd issues errors to the console. However, vxconfigd can be configured to log errors to a log file with various parameters for debugging. (See the man page for further information.)

This is an example which enables debugging parameters and logs messages to a file:

# vxdctl stop
# vxconfigd -x 1 -x logfile=filename -x mstimestamp > /dev/null 2>&1 &

The options are:

• -x 1 Set the trace output level to 1.

• -x logfile=filename Log the message to a specified file.

• -x mstimestamp Attach a date, time-of-day and millisecond time stamp to all messages written by vxconfigd onto the log file.
