system

Collects, downloads, transfers and clears system logs.

SYNOPSIS

system_log { [ ‑clearLogs | ‑collect | ‑delete | ‑download | ‑list | ‑send | ‑uploadClientLogs ] | ‑help }

DESCRIPTION

The Oracle FS System automatically collects and stores logs that capture the following types of information:

The system event log.
One or more sets of system statistics.
The system configuration database.
Pilot logs.
One or more SAN host logs for hosts connected using FSPM.
Diagnostic logs for the Controllers.
Diagnostic logs for any attached replication appliance.
One or more Oracle FS CLI client activity logs.
Private interconnection logs (topology).

Note: The exact set of logs automatically collected depends on the triggering event for the log collection.

If enabled, the Call‑Home service automatically sends the set of logs collected for a significant system event to the Call‑Home server. You might be asked by your Oracle Customer Support representative to collect log bundles and send them to the Call‑Home server or to Oracle Customer Support.

If Call‑Home is not enabled, the Oracle FS System will not send the logs it collects to the Call‑Home server. Your Oracle Customer Support representative might ask you to do the following:

Collect specific logs as log bundles.
Download existing log bundles or a new log bundles.
Transfer the log bundles to Oracle Customer Support.

Use the commands and options that your Oracle Customer Support representative indicates.

Important! The Oracle FS System automatically clears older log bundles to maintain disk space quotas for storing log bundles. Under normal operating circumstances, clearing or deleting logs is not required. Do not delete log bundles without being instructed to do so by your Oracle Customer Support representative.
