RAID Manager log and trace files
The RAID Manager software (HORCM) maintains internal startup log files, execution log files, and
trace files that can be used to identify the causes of errors and to keep records of the status transition
history of the paired volumes.

RAID Manager log files
HORCM logs are classified into startup logs and execution logs.
•
The startup logs contain data on errors that occur before HORCM becomes ready to provide
services. Thus, if HORCM fails to start up due to improper environment setting, refer to the
startup logs to resolve the problem.
•
The HORCM execution logs (error log, trace, and core files) contain data on errors that are
caused by software or hardware problems. These logs contain internal error data that does
not apply to any user settings, therefore, you do not need to refer to the HORCM execution
logs.
•
When an error occurs in execution of a command, data on the error is collected in the
command log file. Users may refer to the command log file if a command execution error
occurs.
The following figure shows a graphical representation of the RAID Manager log and trace files
within the RAID Manager configuration environment.

or if an error occurs before the log files are created, the error logs are output in the system log
file. If the HORCM activation fails, the system administrator should check the system log file and
