You can create a virtual log and attach it to a virtual
Small Computer Serial Interface (SCSI) host adapter by using the mkvlog command.
To create a virtual log and attach it to a virtual SCSI (VSCSI)
host adapter, complete the following tasks:
- Enter the mkvlog command
to create virtual logs. For example, entering the mkvlog -name
syslog -client lpar-01 command returns results similar to
the following:
Virtual log 00000000000000005b3f6b7cfcec4c67 created
This
command creates the syslog virtual log with the lpar-01 client
name and other properties inherited from the default values that are
associated with the virtual log repository. The mkvlog command
returns the UUID that has been assigned to the new virtual log.
- Attach the virtual log that has been
created to a VSCSI host adapter for use by a client logical partition.
The VSCSI host adapter must not be configured to use the Any
Client Can Connect mode. If you specify this mode, you cannot
identify the logical partition that generated the log messages in
the log files of the virtual log. For example, to attach the virtual
log with UUID 00000000000000005b3f6b7cfcec4c67 to
the VSCSI host adapter vhost0, enter the following
command:
mkvlog -uuid 00000000000000005b3f6b7cfcec4c67 -vadapter vhost0
Results
similar to the following are displayed:vtlog0 Available
You can also create a virtual log and attach it to a VSCSI
host adapter by using a single command instead of using the commands
specified in step
1 and
2. For example, entering
the
mkvlog -name audit -vadapter vhost1 command creates
a new virtual log with the log name
audit. This
virtual log is attached to the VSCSI host adapter
vhost1,
with the client name set to the host name of the client logical partition
that is attached to
vhost1. Results similar to
the following are displayed:
Virtual log 0000000000000000d96e956aa842d5f4 created
vtlog0 Available
Note: If the client logical partition
is running, the client name does not need to be specified because
the mkvlog command discovers the client name from
the client logical partition.
