Chapter 1 Messages and Output Destinations
The NEC Storage Manager outputs the information, which is required for maintenance and operation of the NEC
Storage Manager and the disk arrays, to log files of the console/terminal and the management server. The log files to
which a message is output are syslog, event log, and operation log. The message describes information that indicates
events to be reported to an administrator, such as system state transition, fault and error detection, and command input
results.
The NEC Storage ReplicationControl outputs the operation information of data replication in a message format, to the
log files of the console/terminal and the business server. The message is output to syslog, event log, and operation log.
The message describes the information for checking operating conditions, such as command execution results, and fault
and error detection information, etc.
Figure 1-1 shows an overview of message output.

A message classification is assigned to a message, according to its level of urgency. Messages are
classified into the following three classifications, in the order of urgency: “ERROR”, “WARNING”,
“NOTICE”, and “INFO”.
Meanings of the messages are as follows:
ERROR: Error message
This message indicates an error that has a critical effect to the functions, and prompt recovery by an
administrator is required. An administrator must troubleshoot and recover the system promptly.
WARNING: Warning message
This message indicates an event that requires attention regarding the system operations, though the event
does not necessarily lead to the system down immediately. An administrator must remove the cause of
the event and take measures to operate the system normally.
NOTICE: Notifying message
This message notifies the state of internal processes. Although the event notified by the message does
not have any effect on the main functions of the system, an administrator must take appropriate measures
as necessary.
INFO: Information message
This message indicates operating information. No measures are required.

The output destinations of messages depend on functions and OS to be used. Output destinations are the
console/terminal, operation log, syslog, and event log. Message output destinations are described as
follows:
Console/Terminal
A console is a monitoring terminal that is directly connected to the monitoring server of the NEC Storage
Manager. On the other hand, a terminal is a client terminal that is connected to the monitoring server via
telnet, etc. When a command is issued from the NEC Storage Manager or the NEC Storage
ReplicationControl, a message indicating execution result is displayed on the console or the terminal
where the command is executed.
Operation log
Operation log, which is output on UNIX and Windows, records the messages output from the NEC
Storage Manager or the NEC Storage ReplicationControl only. During the operation of iSM client, the
information output to the operation log is also displayed on the message display area of the state monitor
screen.
(1) NEC Storage Manager operation log
UNIX system:
/opt/iSMsvr/etc/log/iSM_Log.log
Windows system:
<Installation directory>\iSMsvr\etc\log\iSM_Log.log
(2) NEC Storage ReplicationControl operation log
HP-UX system:
/opt/iSMrpl/etc/*.log
/opt/iSMvol/etc/*.log
Solaris system:
/opt/NECiSMrpl/etc/*.log
/opt/NECiSMvol/etc/*.log
Windows system:
<Installation directory>\iSMrpl\etc\trace\*.log
<Installation directory>\iSMvol\etc\trace\*.log

syslog
This is output on UNIX system. Together with the messages output by UNIX, the messages output from
NEC Storage Manager and NEC Storage ReplicationControl are recorded. The output format depends on
the OS (HP-UX or Solaris). Output/no output or output destinations of messages, which is output to
syslog, can be specified by modifying descriptions for type (level) and function (facility) in OS settings
file (/etc/syslog.conf).
Note 1: On Solaris system, a message, of which function is “daemon” and classification is “INFO”, is
not output as the default value. Also, a message, of which function is “user” and classification
is “WARNING”, “NOTICE”, or “INFO” is not output as the default value. To output these
kinds of messages, modify the OS settings file.
Note 2: The function of messages output from the NEC Storage Manager to syslog is “Daemon”.
However, the function of the messages output by the NEC Storage ReplicationControl command
is “user”.
Messages are output being affixed the following directory/file name as the default value:
HP-UX system:
/var/adm/syslog/syslog.log
Solaris system:
/var/adm/messages
Event log
This is output on Windows system. Together with the messages output by windows, the messages output
from the NEC Storage Manager and the NEC Storage ReplicationControl are recorded. The messages
are output to application log in the event log. The event log has the functions similar to those of UNIX
syslog, however, the content of the log are different. The event log can be viewed using the Event
Viewer in the Management Tool.

This section describes the message output format and the errno output rule. For details on the message text,
refer to Chapter 2 “Message List”.
The following shows the output format of a message:
Mon Date hh:mm:ss hhhhhh ffffffff :mmmmmm cccccccc : iSMyyyyy : Message body
Mon Date : Month and date
hh:mm:ss : Time
hhhhhh : Host name
ffffffff : Function identifier
mmmmmm : Message classification
cccccccc : Command name and function name
yyyyy : Message number
The message, which is output to application log in the event log, includes the following values specified for
each item:
Classification
ERROR : Error
WARNING : Warning
NOTICE : Information
INFO : Information
Source
NEC Storage Manager : (fixed)
Classification
None (fixed)
Event ID
Number part in the message ID output to the operation log.
The following describes output rules for errno:
Windows system
1. Routine in C Runtime library: errno value is defined by the library.
2. WIN32 API: The value returned by GetLastError with 20000 added is output.
3. Socket API: The value returned by WSGetLastError with 20000 added is output.
UNIX system
1. A defined value is output as is.
