Built into VM. Spool the consoles of the Linux guests to a machine running
PROP (preferably NOT OPERATOR, to keep the operator console from flooding
and to allow the userid to use SFS for logs (the designated userid needs to
start AFTER the SFS servers)) and everything goes into a file that can be
edited or BROWSEd with the full power of XEDIT or BROWSE. PROP does the
right thing with the log files on a daily basis.

I've had good luck with using PerfKit for this task too. The scrolling
operator log mode in PerfKit also lets you automagically filter unimportant
things out easily and go back and forward. We ran Perfkit in console mode as
the operator console for quite some time.

If you're in LPAR mode, then, well..you should fix that. Your options are to
use syslog to log to a remote server as well as to the console, or monitor
the console in some other way via a hardware solution.
