This is largely correct (/var/log, though -- forward slashes :) ), as AIX is tightly coupled with the hardware it runs on, and can get a better glimpse into what's going on with that hardware. But various daemons will log things to syslog, and the kernel will log hardware-related stuff there as well (to the extent it can detect anything). Note that syslog can be configured to put the logs anywhere, so while the common default on Linux is specific files in /var/log, the local sysadmin could have reconfigured syslog to use different file or even a different path. That said, some of the "big" Intel/AMD server vendors (HP, IBM, etc.) provide support agents/daemons for their servers, and typically have a version of those for RHEL (e.g. HP's PSP). These often can tie into their central management framework (HP Insight Manager, IBM Director), but typically will also log detected hardware errors to syslog (and can generate SNMP traps). For those servers that also have hardware event logs, they also provide utilities to view those logs (e.g. the hplog utility in PSP). But it's a different world from that familiar to people coming from a background in AIX, HP-UX, Solaris or (especially) mainframe. > Larry Peifer <larry.pei...@sce.com> > Sent by: "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> > 02/19/2009 12:26 PM > Please respond to > "ADSM: Dist Stor Manager" <ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU> > > > To > ADSM-L@VM.MARIST.EDU > Subject > [ADSM-L] AIX to RHEL command > > Just beginning to install TSM on some new RHEL servers but I have little OS > command experience for Linux.
