hi,
i noticed that dump messages were not being recorded in the messages file. i did not have a syslog.conf file so i created one like this:
*.* /etc/messages *.* /dev/console
no change. am i doing something wrong? f760 ontap 5.36r2.
No. Unfortunately, in current Ontap releases, dump information does not get written to the messages file.
RFE 2345 has been filed on this problem. Currently the bug description is not available on NOW, but is slated to be, soon.
For now, you either want to capture dump logs by running via rsh, or if you use an NDMP client, they generally capture the dump messages in their logs.
