The installation program sets the error log location in the Sybase installation directory when you configure a new Cluster Edition. Backup Server has its own error logs.
The default location for each server’s error log is:
Cluster Edition: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/instance_name.log
Backup Server: $SYBASE/$SYBASE_ASE/install/instance_name_back.log
At start-up, you can reset the name and location of the Cluster Edition error log file from the command line. Use the -e start-up parameter and value in the dataserver command to start the Cluster Edition. However, if you are using sybcluster to manage the cluster, you must use the sybcluster ‘set instance logpath’ parameter to change the location of the error log file for each instance.
Multiple instances cannot share the same error log.
