Specifying trace settings

Contributors

Having tracing enabled is important for gathering information for troubleshooting. However, having tracing enabled can impact performance, so carefully consider what must be traced and how long you need tracing enabled.

Before you begin

  • You must already have login credentials as Administrator.

  • You must already have logged in to the host system as Administrator.

Steps

  1. Access NetApp SMI-S Provider.

  2. Specify various trace settings as applicable:

    Action Command

    Specify the components to be traced

    cimconfig -s traceComponents=components -p

    Specify the trace facility

    cimconfig -s traceFacility=facility -p

    Specify the location of the trace file

    cimconfig -s traceFilePath=path_name -p

    Specify the trace level

    cimconfig -s traceLevel=level -p

  3. Restart the CIM server:

    smis cimserver restart
