Enabling change logs

Last published : Jul 06, 2026
The Management Server console lets you enable a file change log for a mounted VxFS file system on a managed host.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
To enable a file change log
  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expand Manage in the left pane.
  2. Expand the Organization or Uncategorized Hosts to locate the host.
  3. Expand the host and then expand Volumes.
  4. Right-click on the required volume and select File System>Enable Change Log.
  5. In the Enable Change Log wizard panel, confirm the file system for which you want to enable the file change log. Click OK.
  6. In the Result panel, verify that the file change log has been successfully enabled for the selected file system.
