Following new changes are introduced to VCS.

Enabling Veritas Cluster Server logs

This variable holds all the logs in /var/VRTSvcs/log folder generated by VCS processes. The default value is disabled. If it is enabled, the VCS process writes logs with extra information which is timestamped in YYYY-MM-DDTHH:MM:SS.mmm+hhmm format, followed by the hostname in FQDN format, and then followed by the log statement. In addition to this, it also logs any read-only command executed by HAD process.

This environment variable is set across different files for different components as follows:
