Hi Martin,
Here are some exerts from my cheat sheet.
try to set a "number of days" to keep the logs.
It's set to 5 in this case, maybe you'll
need to change it to 1 or 2 ?
The tech note at the bottom looks good,
but only for background info on how it all works.
vxlogcfg - is the answer to your
issues
vxlogmgr - will only solve the symptom
and not the problem.
Anyway, have a look below and email
me any questions etc
Good luck,
Let me know how you go.

######################### turn log recycling
on etc
To enable log recycling as the default
for all NetBackup originators run:
# vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o Default -s
LogRecycle=true
# ./vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o Default
-s NumberOfLogFiles=5
Note: It will be necessary to restart
NetBackup for these changes to take effect.
To configure the log cleanup for PBX
run the following command.
# ./vxlogcfg -a -p 50936 -o 103 -s NumberOfLogFiles=5
Note: It will be necessary to restart
PBX for these changes to take effect.
To change the number of days to keep
logs on the command line use:
# /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/bpconfig
-kl <days>
### Info about this one below: (turn
off OS logging duplicate)
UNIX:
cd /opt/VRTSicsco/bin
./vxlogcfg
-a -p 50936 -o 103 -s LogToOslog=false
The Veritas Private Branch Exchange
(PBX) software is installed along with
Veritas NetBackup 6.5.x Depending
on how NetBackup is installed, PBX may log
messages by default to the UNIX
system logs /var/adm/messages or
/var/adm/syslog, or to the Windows
Event Log. This can cause additional
system logging that the system
administrator may not desire. The messages
written to the system logs are
the same as those written to the PBX logs
(/opt/VRTSpbx/log on UNIX and
<install_path>\VxPBX\log on Windows).
To disable PBX logging to the
system or event logs after NetBackup has been
installed, enter the following
commands:
UNIX:
cd /opt/VRTSicsco/bin
./vxlogcfg
-a -p 50936 -o 103 -s LogToOslog=false
Windows:
cd <install_path>\VERITAS\VRTSicsco
vxlogcfg
–a –p 50936 –o 103 –s LogToOslog=false
It should not be necessary to
restart PBX for this setting to take effect.
Any future PBX log information
should no longer appear in the system logs.
For more information about this
issue or information on how to disable the
option, refer to the following
TechNote on the Symantec Support Web site.

| [Veritas-bu] Unified Logging Gone Wild |
|
I've recently set unified logging to verbose for a couple of trouble
tickets with Symantec and they've proceeded to take over my disk space.
I've been running vxlogmgr -d -a -q to delete them (and manually
deleting them as well.) I've also run vxlogcfg -a -p 51216 -o ALL
-s
DebugLevel=0 -s DiagnosticLevel=0 to reset the logging to its lowest
level but I'm still producing 100GB of logs weekly. Unfortunately,
the
logs are on a 60GB partition, so I'm frequently having to intervene.
Does anyone know exactly how I can reset the logging to zero? Obviously
I'm doing something wrong.
-Jonathan
