Resolution

Linux/Unix, Management Node:

PVA  status: # pvamn status
PVA restart: # pvamn restart
PVA (Control Center) status: # pvacc status
PVA (Control Center) restart: # pvacc restart

Special config file: /opt/pva/mn/bin/pva.conf
    [log_folder] - Location of log files, default: /var/log/pva
    [etc_folder] - Location of config files, default: /var/opt/pva/mn/etc

To change the log level, find the vzagent.conf location in pva.conf,and change it to <log_level>. Once the log level is changed, restart pvamn
    3 – INFO level
    4 – DEBUG level
    6 – DEBUG level with XML messages

NOTE: Do not forget to decrease the log level back to the original value once you are done with troubleshooting. Having log level higher than 2 may cause rapid growth of log files, which may fill up all free space on the disk and lead to data corruption and downtime.

Installation logs: /var/log/pva/setup/

To collect the PVA Report run: # /opt/pva/mn/bin/pvareport.sh <report_folder>

Again, do not forget to decrease the log level after collecting the report.


Linux/Unix, Slave node:

PVA  status: # pvaagent status
PVA restart: # pvaagent restart
PVA (Power Panel) status: # pvapp status
PVA (Power Panel) restart: # pvapp restart

Special config file: /opt/pva/agent/bin/pva.conf
    [log_folder] - Location of log files, default: /var/log/pva
    [etc_folder] - Location of config files, default: /vz/pva/agent/etc

To change the log level, find the vzagent.conf location in pva.conf (by default it is /vz/pva/agent/etc/vzagent.conf),and change it to <log_level>. Once the log level is changed, restart pvaagent service.
    3 – INFO level
    4 – DEBUG level
    6 – DEBUG level with XML messages

NOTE: Do not forget to decrease the log level back to the original value once you are done with troubleshooting. Having log level higher than 2 may cause rapid growth of log files, which may fill up all free space on the disk and lead to data corruption and downtime.

Installation logs: /var/log/pva/setup/
