Exporting The Controller Log File

Does my controller support this feature? See Supported Features.

The Export Log task exports the controller log to a text file. This log provides detailed information on the controller activities and can be useful for troubleshooting.

On a system running Microsoft Windows, the log file is exported to the windows or winnt directory. On a system running Linux, the log file is exported to the /var/log directory.

Depending on the controller, the log file name is afa_<mmdd>.log or lsi_<mmdd>.log, where <mmdd> is the month and date.

NOTE: In the VMware ESXi environment, only one log file is created (lsiexport.log). If the file exists, exporting the log file overwrites the existing log file.
NOTE: Controllers without cache cannot store logs and export log files.
