Resolution
Take a VMware snapshot or a backup before continuing.
Perform the following tasks and capture the logs for analysis.
- SSH to the primary server
- Take the backup of the oc_cmd.sh using the following command:
cp /opt/rsa/am/utils/bin/appliance/oc_cmd.sh /home/rsaadmin/oc_cmd.sh.bkp
- Edit the oc_cmd.sh file and add the line echo "$@" >>/home/rsaadmin/oc_cmd_parameters.out above CMD="$1", as shown:
#!/bin/bash echo "$@" >>/home/rsaadmin/oc_cmd_parameters.out CMD="$1"
- Back up the log4j.xml and ops-log4j.xml files:
cp /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/log4j.xml /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/log4j.xml.bkp cp /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/ops-log4j.xml /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/ops-log4j.xml.bkp
- Use vi on each of the files above and enter the following command in each file:
vi /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/log4j.xml :%s/"ERROR"/"TRACE"/g vi /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/ops-log4j.xml :%s/"ERROR"/"TRACE"/g
- Restart the Authentication Manager services for the changes to take effect:
/opt/rsa/am/server/rsaserv restart all
- Perform a backup from the Operations Console. Note the timestamp and capture the troubleshooting logs for analysis. The backup verbose log should be created in /home/rsaadmin/oc_cmd_parameters.out.
- Revert to the old configuration files and restart the Authentication Manager services:
cp /opt/rsa/am/utils/bin/appliance/oc_cmd.sh.bkp /home/rsaadmin/oc_cmd.sh cp /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/log4j.xml.bkp /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/log4j.xml cp /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/ops-log4j.xml.bkp /opt/rsa/am/utils/resources/ops-log4j.xml /opt/rsa/am/server/rsaserv restart all
