Viewing the installation logs

If a problem occurs during installation, it can be helpful to view entries in the installation logs to help pinpoint problems.

To view the Veritas Access installation logs

  1. During Veritas Access installation and configuration, you can access installer logs in a temporary folder under /var/tmp.
  2. After Veritas Access installation and configuration, you can view a copy of the installation logs in the following locations:

    Veritas Access post-installation logs

    /opt/VRTS/install/logs/installaccess-timestamp

    This directory is located on the node from which the installer is triggered (the driver node). It contains the Veritas Access specific installation logs.

    For example:

    /opt/VRTS/install/logs/installaccess-201602021544AsJ

    Veritas Access service group configuration logs

    /opt/VRTSnas/log/Install.log

    This directory contains the Veritas Access specific configuration logs.

    For example:

    /opt/VRTSsnas/log/Install.log.201407030655

    Veritas Access network installation and configuration logs

    /opt/VRTSnas/log/install_network.log

    This directory contains the Veritas Access network configuration logs.

    For example:

    /opt/VRTSnas/log/install_network.log.201407030655
