I’m new to Domino so pleae be specific about recommendations etc.
I’ve setup a Domino 8 cluster in a test environment and cannot get transaction logging working. I have enabled it via the server document and restarted Domino but the control file and transaction logs are not getting created.
I don’t see any errors on the Domino console either.
What can I check?

Hi C Riley,
I would recommend reviewing Technote 7009309, which I have included below. This Technote outlines the best practices for Transactional Logging as recommended by IBM Support. This is a Fantastic Technote that outlines nearly all the ins and outs you need to know to get Transactional Logging to work.
One of the biggest things you want to be sure you do is to have configure Transactional Logging to have its own Dedicated Disk. For example, if you write your Transactional Logs to the same disk as your Domino Data, you can see as much as 60% performance degradation on your Server.
I would definitely suggest fully reviewing the Technote below so that everything is configured properly - it will save you alot of time in the future!

Thanks. I have seen that article and I believe I have it setup correctly.
One thing that I’m not sure if it’s relevant or not is that I tried using the following command to check the stats for transaction logging:
show stat database.rm.*
It returned:
Database.RM.sys.logged = Disabled
Could this be a problem? How do I enable this?

Transactional Logging: Enabled

Yes, it does say enabled.
I don’t see any obvious errors on startup. Are there any logs that may help?

OK, things seem to have magically started working. Don’t know why or how but I’m happy…
