Historical server_log data
I have a client that is asking if there were any "nas" related issues on a certain date. Porblem is when I run server_log server_2 it only gives me so many days.
Is there any other logs that would give me older info?
EX:
[nasadmin@cel5593cs01 nas]$ server_log server_2 -a -s | more
NAS LOG for slot 2:
--------------------
2012-08-02 19:53:10: ADMIN: 6: Command succeeded: volume hyper 4895 1 4894
2012-08-02 19:53:10: ADMIN: 6: Command succeeded: volume slice 4896 43810816 40960000 4007
They want data from 2012-07-25
Thanks!

server_log server_x -a -s is all of server:log data you will get.
Older server:log data is not available because it is already overwritten. There is no log rotation for server_log, the standard linux log trimmer/rotation is not working for server:log, because server_log is not stored in a file, but a partition on disk.
Your only chance is using other log files, f.e. syslog, cmd_log ....
If the datamover is failed over, maybe a server_log against the failed server will be of help.
For the future your client need to ask earlier or you need to install some script which will archieve the server_log.
