Tracing the scout daemon

Edit online

You can start traces for only the scout daemon (dsmscoutd).

Procedure

  1. In an IBM® Storage Scale environment, issue the following command: dsmmigfs disableFailover.
  2. Add trace options to the dsm.opt client options file as described in Enabling a Space Management client trace.
  3. Restart the scout daemon by using the following command: dsmscoutd restart.
  4. Remove the trace options from the dsm.opt file.
    If you do not remove the trace options, other daemons are traced when you restart other daemons.
  5. In an IBM Storage Scale environment, issue the following command: dsmmigfs enableFailover.

Results

The space management client captures data from the scout daemon.

What to do next

You can stop tracing the scout daemon in two steps:
  1. Verify that the dsm.opt client options file does not contain trace options.
  2. Restart the scout daemon by using the dsmscoutd restart command.
