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).
