Enabling EO-compliant logging for Cluster Server logs
The VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG environment variable controls the kind of logging information generated by the Cluster Server (VCS) processes. VCS logs are located in the C:\Program Files\Veritas\Cluster Server\log
folder. VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG is disabled default. When this environment variable is enabled, the VCS services generate EO-compliant logging information. Additionally, any read-only commands executed by the HAD process are also logged.
See EO-compliant logging for Cluster Server.
To enable or disable EO-compliant logging using the CLI or PowerShell
- The /M argument ensures that the changed variable value persists across system restarts. If you do not specify /M, when the system restarts, the environment variable is restored to its previous value.
To enable EO-compliant logging for VCS, run:
setx VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG "1" /M
To disable EO-compliant logging for VCS, run:
setx VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG "0" /M
To enable EO-compliant logging using the GUI
- Open the System Properties window of the operating system.
- Navigate and to the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables.
- On the Environment Variables window, under the System variables section:
To create the environment variable, click New.
On the New System Variable dialog box:
In the Variable name field, enter VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG.
In the Variable value field, enter 1.
To edit the environment variable, click Edit.
On the Edit System Variable dialog box, set the Variable value field to 1.
- Click OK to save the changes and close the dialog box and each of the windows opened for this procedure.
To disable EO-compliant logging using the GUI
- Open the System Properties window of the operating system.
- Navigate and to the Advanced tab and click Environment Variables.
- On the Environment Variables window, in the System variables section, locate and select VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG and then click Edit.
- On the Edit System Variable dialog box, set the Variable value field to 0.
- Click OK to save the changes and close the dialog box and each of the windows opened for this procedure.
To ensure that VCS services honor the VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG value
- Each time you enable or disable VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG, you must restart the VCS services for the change to take effect.
Run the following commands sequentially:
Stop the VCS engine service:
hastop -local -force
Start the VCS engine service:
hastart
Stop the VCS command server:
net stop cmdserver
Start the VCS command server:
net start cmdserver
Stop the VCS authentication server:
net stop vcsauthserver
Start the VCS authentication server:
net start vcsauthserver
If VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG is enabled, these services generate EO-compliant logging messages.
If VCS_ENABLE_PUBSEC_LOG is disabled, these services generate logging messages in the default format.
