DSMULOG (Capture a Message to a User Log File)

Use this command to capture TSM server console messages to a user log file. You can specify that Tivoli Storage Manager write messages to more than one user log file.

You can start this command with the ADSMSTART shell script, which is provided as part of the Tivoli Storage Manager AIX server package. If you do not specify fully qualified filenames for the user log files in the ADSMSTART shell script the user log files are created in the directory where ADSMSTART is started. By editing the ADMSTART shell script, where the command is started, you can manage the amount of space and define the number of server messages written to one or more user log files.

For more information refer to the Administrator's Guide.

Note:
The user logs should not be placed in the /usr/lpp file system because space constraints in the file system can prevent the server from starting.
