About legacy logging
Legacy logging and unified logging are the two forms of debug logging used in NetBackup. All NetBackup processes use either unified logging or legacy logging.
In legacy debug logging, each process creates log files of debug activity in its own logging directory. The NetBackup legacy debug log directories are located in the following directories:
Windows | install_path\NetBackup\logs install_path\Volmgr\debug |
UNIX | /usr/openv/netbackup/logs /usr/openv/volmgr/debug |
These top-level directories can contain a directory for each NetBackup process that uses legacy logging. By default, NetBackup creates only a subset of all of the possible log directories. For example, the following directories are created by default on UNIX servers:
nbfp
nbliveup
nblogadm
user_ops
To enable logging for all of the NetBackup processes that use legacy logging, you must create the log file directories that do not already exist, unless you use the Logging Assistant. For more information about the Logging Assistant, see the Veritas NetBackup Administrator's Guide, Volume I.
You can use the following batch files to create all of the debug log directories at once:
See the NetBackup Commands Reference Guide for a complete description about the mklogdir command.
After the directories are created, NetBackup creates log files in the directory that is associated with each process. A debug log file is created when the process begins. Each log file grows to a certain size before the NetBackup process closes it and creates a new log file.
To enable debug logging for the NetBackup Status Collection Daemon (vmscd), create the following directory before you start nbemm.
As an alternative, you can restart vmscd after creating the directory.
