Purpose

Use the OPENVM FORMAT to display the trace table created by NFS Client events on the console.

The trace table contains information about the flow of requests between the NFS client and server.

This command is to be used as directed by the systems administrator or support group that services your z/VM® installation.

Operands

number_entries
indicates the number of entries to be displayed on the console.

If the number of entries are not specified, all the entries in the trace table will be displayed.

If you specify a number, the number specified will be displayed even if there are more entries in the table.

The maximum number of entries that can be retained in the trace table are defined by the wrapsize. See the usage notes for more information.

Options

BUFfer

NOBuffer
does not write buffer information to the console. This is the default.

Usage Notes

  1. Use the OPENVM QUERY DEBUG command to view information on the current wrapsize setting. See the OPENVM QUERY DEBUG for more information.
  2. Trace table entries are written out from the oldest to the newest.
