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.
