312 Managing the Disk Array Using Array Manager 60

To purge the oldest log file in the host directory, type:

amutil -p

Note

Always use the

amutil -p

command to purge the controller logs. This

command maintains the catalog pointers used to access the log files. Using a
system command such as

rm

to remove the log files will cause log catalog

errors.

Management of the log files can be automated by creating a script that purges
the oldest log files at regular intervals using

amutil -p

. This technique can be

used to ensure that the log files don’t grow to a size that may cause the ?var file
system to overflow.

Resetting Battery Age

accurate indication of the age of the battery

To reset the battery age to zero, type:

ammgr -b <ArrayID>
