2.11.1 Types of logs collected

HDLM collects information on the detected error and trace information in the integrated trace file, trace file, error logs and event logs. You can use the error information to examine the status of an error and analyze the cause of the error.

The information about the Windows system-down is output to a system memory dump file.

A system memory dump file is a file to which the system memory data is output when Windows system-down occurs. This file is required when Windows system-down occurs. Specify the following procedure to output the system memory dump file.

Click Control Panel, System, Startup/Shutdown, Write Debugging Information is chosen with Recovery, and then choose Kernel Memory Dump or Complete Memory Dump.

Table 2-7 Types of error information describes the types of error information.

Table 2-7 Types of error information

Log name Description Output destination
Integrated trace file Operation logs of the HDLM command and GUI are collected. The default file path is drive-for-program-installation:\Program Files#1\HITACHI\HNTRLib2\spool\hntr2n.log (n indicates a file number)

To specify the output destination directory and the file prefix for the integrated trace file, use a utility of Hitachi Network Objectplaza Trace Library (HNTRLib2).
Trace file Trace information on the HDLM manager is collected for the level set by the user. If an error occurs, you might need to change the settings to collect trace information. The trace file name is \Program Files\HITACHI\DynamicLinkManager\log\hdlmtr[1-64].log#2
Error log Error information for the user-defined level is collected from detected errors. By default, HDLM collects all detected error information. HDLM Manager logs:
\Program Files\HITACHI\DynamicLinkManager\log\dlmmgr[1-16].log#2
HDLM GUI logs:
\Program Files\HITACHI\DynamicLinkManager\log\dlmgui[1-2].log#2
HDLM remote access interface logs:
\Program Files\HITACHI\DynamicLinkManager\log\dlmwebagent[1-n].log#2
The value n depends on the setting in the file dlmwebagent.properties.
Event log Information about very severe errors (severity level is Critical or Error) is collected from detected errors.
You can use administrative tools such as Event Viewer to check event logs.
Event log (application log)
