Displaying logged errors

Edit online

There are differences in the default locations of the AIX® error log for AIX nodes, and the system logs for Linux®, Windows, or Solaris nodes.

Note: In order for the RSCT subsystems on Linux, Windows, and Solaris nodes to record errors, the system log must be active and the syslogd daemon must be operational.

Table 1 identifies the commands used to display logged errors for AIX, Linux, Windows and Solaris nodes.

Table 1. Displaying logged errors for AIX, Linux, Windows, and Solaris nodes
AIX nodes	Linux nodes	Windows nodes	Solaris nodes
To display a complete summary report, enter: `errpt` To display a complete detailed report, enter: `errpt -a`	Check the system log documentation for the Linux distribution used within the cluster for specifics on the log file behavior. Assuming that the system log messages are in directory /var/log/messages, the following command displays the error information: `fcslogrpt /var/log /messages` This command will display the error entries produced by RSCT in increasing timestamp value order.	Check the log documentation for your Windows system to learn specifics on the log file behavior. To display the error information, see: `cat /var/adm/log/messages`	The system log messages are stored in /var/adm/messages* by default. Errors are logged on the node(s) where the event occurred.
