IP Storage Router SR2122-2 User Guide

Use the no logging on command to quickly disable logging for all
destinations without modifying the storage router logging table. No logging will
take place until logging is re-enabled by the logging on command.

If you clear the logging table without returning to the factory defaults, all rules are
removed from the logging table. This causes all messages to be discarded because
there are no matching rules in the logging table. To resume logging, you can add
new routing rules, restore a previously saved logging table, or clear the logging
table back to the factory defaults.

Viewing and Saving the Log File

You can view the entire storage router log file or selected portions of the log file
using the show logging command. You can also view the log file using the
web-based GUI. If you want to analyze or search the log file in more detail, you
can use FTP to retrieve a copy of the log file. See the

“Using FTP with the Storage

Router”

section on

page 201

for details.

For additional information about managing the storage router log file, see the

“Managing the Log File”

section on

page 198

.

Capturing the Storage Router Configuration

You can use the show runningconfig or show bootconfig command to
display the storage router’s current running configuration or bootable
configuration. You can then redirect this display to create a script file in the
storage router’s script directory. The resulting file can be used as a basis to
create command scripts to automate common tasks. See the

“Using Scripts to

Automate Tasks”

section on

page 196

for more details.

Using Debug Facilities

The storage router includes debug facilities for SCSI routing instances. Running
debug traces can impact the operation of the storage router. If you experience
problems with a SCSI routing instance that cannot be resolved, HP technical
support personnel may ask you to capture some debug traces. They will assist you
to properly configure the storage router to accomplish this task. By default, debug
facilities are disabled for all SCSI routing instances.
