Controlling Command Logging in 3DM2

Command logging provides the ability to log each command that makes a change to the controller configuration in a log file (tw_mgmt.log). This can be useful for trouble-shooting.

You can enable and disable command logging from the 3DM2 Settings page.

Enable or Disable 3DM2 Command Logging

1	Click 3DM2 Settings on the 3DM2 menu bar.

2	In the Server Configuration section of the 3DM2 Settings page, select either Enabled or Disabled in the Command Logging field.

	Note: The command logging control in 3DM2 only determines whether or not commands are logged from the 3DM2 interface. Command logging is also available for configuration changes made through the CLI. However, control of whether CLI command logging is enabled or disabled is handled separately. Changing the setting within 3DM2 does not affect command logging from CLI. For more information, see the 3ware SATA+SAS RAID Controller Card CLI Guide, Version 10.2.

Locating the Command Log File (tw_mgmt.log)

Under FreeBSD, Linux, Mac OS, OpenSolaris, and VMware tw_mgmt.log is in the /var/log directory. For Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008, tw_mgmt.log is in \ProgramData\3ware directory. (Note that ProgramData is a hidden folder by default.)

For earlier versions of Windows, tw_mgmt.log is in
\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\3ware
directory
