In which directory are the Dell Avamar administrator logs located?

The Dell Avamar administrator logs are located in the /usr/local/avamar/var/mc/serverlog directory on the Avamar utility node. The Avamar Administrator GUI is a client that connects to the Management Console (MC) server process. The mcserver process is responsible for managing the Avamar system, handling administrative requests, and scheduling. Its primary log file, mcserver.log, which records these activities, resides in this specific directory. This is the main log file to consult for troubleshooting administrative operations.

B. The /usr/local/avamar/var/log directory contains logs for client backup and restore activities initiated on the utility node itself, not the core management server logs.

C. The /usr/local/avamar/etc directory contains configuration files for the Avamar software, not log files.

D. The /data01/cur directory is located on a data node and contains files related to the deduplication data store, not administrative logs.
