How to change the trace level to enable more detailed traces for TSAMP/RSCT daemon.

Question & Answer


Question

How to change the trace level by enabling more detailed traces for TSAMP/RSCT daemons when the standard tracing levels do not provide enough information?

Cause

The configuration resource manager uses the Common Trace Facility for tracking the internal activity of
the daemon. Multiple levels of detail may be selected when diagnosing problems so additional tracing must
be activated by the ctsettrace utility.

Answer

Here is the commands that will help you to increase the trace level (by enabling more traces in detail) temporarily by running (as root).
-- you may get current tracelevel info by running below command.
     a)lssrc -ls <Resource Manager>
Resource manager could be any, either IBM.StorageRM, IBM.GblResRM, IBM.RecoveryRM, IBM.TestRM or IBM.ConfigRM.
-- To Set the StorageRM at higher trace levels, you must run below command from both node.
    a) CT_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE=2
    b) ctsettrace -a "_STG:*=255" -s IBM.StorageRM
-- To Set the GblResRM at higher trace levels, you must run below command from both node.
    a) CT_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE=2
    b) ctsettrace -a "*:*=255" -s IBM.GblResRM
-- To Set the RecoveryRM at higher trace levels, you must run below command from both node.
    a) CT_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE=2
    b) ctsettrace -a "*:*=255" -s IBM.RecoveryRM
-- To Set the ConfigRM at higher trace levels, you must run below command from both node.
    a) CT_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE=2
    b) ctsettrace -a "_CFD:*=255" -s IBM.ConfigRM 
-- To Set the TestRM at higher trace levels, you must run below command from both node.
    a) CT_MANAGEMENT_SCOPE=2
    b) ctsettrace -a "*:*=255" -s IBM.TestRM
The preferred method of resetting the trace level back to default is to execute below command.
    tracesoff -s <Resource Manager>
Other options include:
You can simply stop and start the RM or kill the PID of respective resource manager.
    stopsrc -s <Resource Manager> ; startsrc -s <Resource Manager>
or
    kill <PID of RM>
