Resolution

Follow these steps to gather cluster logs for Veritas Storage Foundation HA for Windows(SFW-HA):
 
1. From a Windows command prompt, browse to the SFW-HA \bin folder. By default,this is located at the following path:
c:\ProgramFiles\VERITAS\cluster server\bin
 
2. Run the getcomms.pl script with the following syntax:
 
perlgetcomms.pl -local -d [path]
 
For example:
perlgetcomms.pl -local -d c:\getcomms
The command used in the example above will generate a set of logs under c:\getcomms. The script will automatically create the folder if the specific path does not exist.
 
3. Run the following command:
 
hagetcf
Note: No switches are required.
 
By default,the command used in the example above will generate a set of logs under C:\Program Files\Veritas\Cluster Server\hagetcf.
 
These two folders (hagetcf and getcomms) can then be zipped before sending to Veritas Technical Support
