PowerHA SystemMirror log files

PowerHA® SystemMirror® writes the messages it generates to the system console and to several log files. Because each log file contains a different subset of the types of messages generated by PowerHA SystemMirror, you can get different views of cluster status by viewing different log files.

PowerHA SystemMirror writes messages into the log files described here.

The default locations of log files are used in this topic collection. If you redirected any logs, check the appropriate location.

Note: If you redirect logs, they should be redirected to local file systems and not to shared or NFS file systems. Having logs on shared or NFS file systems may cause problems if the file system needs to unmount during a fallover event. Redirecting logs to shared or NFS file systems may also prevent cluster services from starting during node reintegration.
