Monitoring NetBackup disk activity
You can monitor NetBackup disk-related activity and status by viewing the
NetBackup log files.
Some NetBackup commands or processes write messages to their own log files.
Other processes use Veritas unified log (VxUL) files. VxUL uses a standardized
name and file format for log files. An originator ID (OID) identifies the process
that writes the log messages.
Table 5-2 shows the NetBackup logs for disk-related activity.
The messages that begin with a sts_ prefix relate to the interaction with the
storage vendor software plug-in. Most interaction occurs on the NetBackup media
servers.
