Several of the commands you run during the installation process create log files, which are placed in the /var/log/csm directory. These log files contain extended error and informational messages from the command.
The following log files are created:
Table 1. Log files that are created during installation
Source | Log file | Location |
---|---|---|
installms command | /var/log/csm/installms.log | Management server |
installnode command | /var/log/csm/installnode.log | Management server |
updatenode command | /var/log/csm/updatenode.log | Management server |
installnode and updatenode commands result in data being written to this log | /var/log/csm/install.log | Cluster node |
csmsetupks | /var/log/csm/csmsetupks.log | Management Server |
Note that each log directory can contain up to five versions of the log, each named with a suffix that indicates its relative age. For example, the newest installms log file is called installms.log, while the oldest is called installms.log.4. When the next log file is created, the file that was called installms.log becomes installms.log.1 to make way for the newly created installms.log, and the file that was installms.log.4 is deleted.
