Understanding RDA with OST Plug-In Diagnostic Logs

You can collect diagnostic logs for supported DMAs with the RDA with OST plug-in.

NOTE: The directory location, C:\ProgramData, is considered to be a hidden directory on Windows-based systems.
However, you can copy and paste C:\ProgramData\Dell\DR\log\ into your Internet Explorer Address bar or you can
enter this into the Windows command prompt window (Start→ All Programs→ Accessories→ Command Prompt).

For more information about RDA with OST plug-ins and logs, see the topics that follow.

Rotating RDA with OST Plug-In Logs for Windows

By default, the Windows log rotation size is set at 10 megabytes (MB). Once a log file has been reached this size, the

RDA with OST plug-in automatically renames the existing log file, libstspiDell.log to libstspiDell.log.old, and creates a

new log.

Modifying Log Rotation Size

To modify the log rotation size, you can edit the following registry key value:
HKLM\Software\Dell\OST\LogRotationSize

Immediately after modifying this value, the new rotation size value takes effect (meaning that you do not have to restart
the backup process).
