Accessing the CLI history

The history of CLI commands issued on a system and the system responses is contained in the command line log, vxcli.log. It is typically located at C:\Program Files\Veritas\Veritas Volume Manager\logs. This history is useful when trying to understand the problems that may arise from running or creating CLI scripts.

Each entry in the log is prefixed with the date and time of the command or system response, followed by the process identification and thread identification. Each CLI command is a separate entry in the log and each is identified by " ---------- Command : ". Each system response is also a separate entry in the log and follows the CLI command.

Note:

Help messages are not recorded in the command line log.
