IBM Storage Scale log

This topic describes the IBM Storage Scale log files.

The IBM Storage Scale log files are saved in the /var/adm/ras/ directory on each node. Each time the IBM Storage Scale daemon starts, a new log file is created. The mmfs.log.latest log file is the link to the latest log. On Linux®, all additional information is sent to the system log in /var/log/messages.

Because the IBM Storage Scale cluster manager and file system managers handle cluster issues such as node leaves or disk down events, monitor the IBM Storage Scale log on the cluster manager and file system manager to get the best view of the cluster and file system status.
