10-1 About Viewing Transaction Logs
HP StorageWorks XP Provisioning Manager records the operations of users who logged in to Provisioning
Manager. You can view the logs of operations performed with Provisioning Manager by you, by members of the
same group as you, or by members of a lower-level group.
In addition to operations that have completed processing in Provisioning Manager, the Transaction Logs
subwindow displays operations that are in progress, operations that have failed, and operations that have been
interrupted.
By checking the transaction log, you can check which part of the processing in a series is in progress. Also, if
some of the processing has failed or has been interrupted, you can identify the failed part from the transaction
log, enabling you to take appropriate action.
IMPORTANT: If a series of processes failed, you need to perform one of the following:
•
Manually continue the processes that follow the failed process, and complete the series of processes.
• Manually cancel the processes before the failed process to undo all processing.
IMPORTANT: When you add, expand, or delete a file system, or add or delete a device file, Provisioning
Manager processing may be interrupted if such an action is performed while Provisioning Manager is
processing a series of operations.
If this occurs, you must manually set the host and restart, and then use the Transaction Log window to
resume the operation that you were performing when processing was interrupted.
