Export Log

Dell OpenManage™ Storage Management User's Guide

The Export Log task exports the controller log to a text file. The text file is located in the Storage Management installation directory at the location displayed on the Export Log screen.

The log gives detailed information on the controller activities and can be useful for troubleshooting. By default, the log file is exported to the <install-directory>/sm directory where <install-directory> is the directory where you have installed Server Administrator.

Depending on the controller, the log file name will be either afa_<mmdd>.log or lsi_<mmdd>.log where <mmdd> is the month and date. For example, a log file exported on September 21 will be named either afa_0921.log or lsi_0921.log.

Exporting the controller log file clears the log file information from the controller log.

Note: The Export Log File command is not supported on the PERC 2/SC, 2/DC, 4/IM, CERC ATA100/4ch, and CERC SATA1.5/2s controllers.

To reset the controller configuration:

Click Export Log File when ready. To exit without exporting the controller log file, click Go Back To Controller Page.
