Maintaining the Managed Nodes
On the managed nodes, you should periodically back up, and then erase,
local HPOM logfiles (and their backups). HPOM uses 90% of the
specified log directory size for local message logging, and 10% for error
and warning logging. HPOM also uses an automatic backup mechanism
for the logfiles (four on UNIX and Solaris, nine on MPE/iX).
For example, the configured size of a UNIX log directory is 10 MB.
The size of a UNIX log directory is allocated in the following way:
❏
❏
Message Logging
HPOM allocates 9 MB for local message logging.
Given that there are four logfiles, if the opcmsglg file size is greater
than 2.25 MB, HPOM does the following:
• Moves opcmsgl2 to opcmsgl3 (if exists).
• Moves opcmsgl1 to opcmsgl2 (if exists).
• Moves opcmsglg to opcmsgl1.
Error and Warning Message Logging
HPOM allocates 1 MB for local error and warning message logging.
If the System.txt (on HTTPS-based managed nodes) file size is
greater than 0.25 MB, HPOM does the following:
• Moves System.txt to System.txt.003 (if exists).
• Moves System.txt.001 to System.txt.002 (if exists).
• Moves System.txt to System.txt.001
