Archiver and migration logs record the exact locations of files that have been copied to tape. Should you need to recover a file system, these log files contain information that lets you restore any files that cannot be found using the available recovery point files.
The following table defines each field in the archiver log.
| Field | Typical Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | A |
The type of archive activity logged: A (archived), R (re-archived), or U (unarchived) |
| 2 | 2015/03/23 |
The date of the archive action, in the form yyyy/mm/dd. |
| 3 | 18:42:06 |
The time of the archive activity, in the form hh:mm:ss. |
| 4 | ti |
The archive media type. Media types, are discussed in Appendix B, "Glossary of Equipment Types" and on the mcf(4) man page. |
| 5 | VOL004 |
The volume serial number (VSN) of a removable media volume or the volume name and tar(1) path to a file archived on disk media. |
| 6 | arset0.1 |
The Oracle HSM archive set name and copy number. |
| 7 | 9a089.132 |
The physical position of the start of the archive file (tar file) on media and the file offset within the archive file, in hexadecimal format. |
| 8 | hsm1 |
The name of the file system that holds the file. |
| 9 | 118.51 |
The inode number and generation number of the file. The generation number is used in addition to the inode number for uniqueness because inode numbers are reused. |
| 10 | 162514 |
The length of the file if the file is written on only one volume. Length of the section if the file is written on multiple volumes. |
| 11 | t0/fdn |
The path and name of the file relative to the mount point of the file system. |
| 12 | f |
The type of file: d (directory), f (file), l (symbolic link), R (removable-media file), I (segment index), or S (data segment) |
| 13 | 0 |
The section number of an overflowed file or segment. If the file is an overflowed file, the value is non-zero. Otherwise the value is 0. |
| 14 | 56 |
The equipment ordinal of the drive on which the file was archived. |
The following example shows sample lines from an archiver log file.

Media migration logs are very similar to archive logs. The archive-activity and the archive-set/copy-number fields are omitted, and the last three fields are unique to migration logs. All other fields are the same. Note, however, that there is a separate migration log for each volume migrated. Each log file is in the logging directory specified by the migrationd.cmd file.
| Field | Typical Value | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | 2015/03/23 |
The date of the migration action, in the form yyyy/mm/dd. |
| 2 | 18:42:06 |
The time of the migration activity, in the form hh:mm:ss. |
| 3 | ti | The archive media type. Media types, are discussed in Appendix B, "Glossary of Equipment Types" and on the mcf(4) man page. |
| 4 | VOL004 |
The volume serial number (VSN) of a removable media volume or the volume name and tar(1) path to a file archived on disk media. |
| 5 | 9a089.19 |
The physical position of the start of the archive file (tar file) on media and the file offset within the archive file, in hexadecimal format. |
| 6 | hsm1 |
The name of the file system that holds the file. |
| 7 | 118.51 |
The inode number and generation number of the file. The generation number is used in addition to the inode number for uniqueness because inode numbers are reused. |
| 8 | 162514 |
The length of the file if the file is written on only one volume. Length of the section if the file is written on multiple volumes. |
| 9 | dat0/datA |
The path and name of the file relative to the mount point of the file system. |
| 10 | f |
The type of file: d (directory), f (file), l (symbolic link), I (segment index), or S (data segment) |
| 11 | s |
The copy mode used for the migration: either s (server copy) or x (xcopy). |
| 12 | 801 |
The equipment ordinal of the drive that mounted the source volume. |
| 13 | 804 |
The equipment ordinal of the drive that mounted the destination volume. |
The following example shows representative lines from the migration log file hsm_migration_logs/li.VOL001, which logs migration of the LTO tape VOL001 to new media:
