The Storage Manager outputs the information, which is required for maintenance and operation of a disk array and
the Storage Manager, 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 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.
If ESMPRO Agent has been installed in the management server on which the Storage Manager has started,
messages are output to ESMPRO Manager.
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 four classifications, in the order of urgency: “ERROR”, “WARNING”,
“NOTICE”, and “INFO”. A message classification is also referred to as a message level.
Meanings of the messages are as follows:
yERROR: 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.
yWARNING: 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.
yNOTICE: 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 disk arrays, an administrator must take appropriate
measures as necessary.
yINFO: 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, event log, and ESMPRO Manager. Message output
destinations are described as follows:
yConsole/Terminal
A console is a monitoring terminal that is directly connected to the monitoring server of the iSM.
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 iSM or the ReplicationControl, a message indicating
execution result is displayed on the console or the terminal where the command is executed.
yOperation log
Operation log, which is output on UNIX and Windows, records the messages output from the iSM or
the 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. Operation
logs are output as the following directory/file names by default.
(1) Storage Manager operation log
UNIX system:
/opt/iSMsvr/etc/log/iSM_Log.log
Windows system:
<Installation directory>\iSMsvr\etc\log\iSM_Log.log
(2) 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
