Logging Power Supply Failure to system logs

807557Jun 4 2007 — edited Jun 6 2007
Hi all.

I have used Solaris 8 for quite some time, and when using a machine with redundant power supplies, the failure of one would be immediately logged to to /var/adm/messages.

I have realized that now that when using Solaris 10, the power supply failures are no longed logged to the /var/adm/messages file, but can be retrieved via SC, using the command "showlogs".

However, I know no way to retrieve the logs into a file, and nothing is now written into /var/adm/messages

I have checked the syslog.conf file and found no major diferences from Solaris 8 to 10, but no PS failure messages are written, nevertheless.

So, what I need to achieve is the following:

1) have the PS failure logged into /var/adm/message (any new special conf in syslogconf)?
2) have a way to retrieve the SC logs into a file (even because the log entries are easily overwritten)

Any hints from you guys?

Thanks and regards,
Carlos Dourado
