Description
The dfstrace setlog command sets the size of a server process or kernel log. The size of the log is set in kwords. To set the size of a server process
log, specify the server process with the -cdsentry option; to set the size of a kernel log, omit the -cdsentry option.
If a specified log is already allocated, it is cleared and freed when this command is run, and a new log of the desired size is created. Otherwise, a log of the desired size is created when the log is allocated.
To display the current size and allocated status of a log, issue the dfstrace lslog command.
Privilege Required
To set the size of a kernel log, the issuer must be logged in as root on the local machine. To set the size of a server process log, the issuer must
be listed in the admin list associated with that process on the machine specified by the -cdsentry option (for example, admin.fl for the flserver process and
admin.ft for the ftserver process).
Examples
The following command sets the size of the cmfx kernel log to 64 kilobytes (16 kwords):
# dfstrace setl cmfx 16
The following command sets the size of the ubikvote server process log on the machine dewitt to 120 kilobytes (30 kwords):
$ dfstrace setl ubikvote 30 -cdsentry /.:/hosts/dewitt/flserver
