PSM_DEBUG configuration parameter

Use the PSM_DEBUG configuration parameter to specify the amount of debugging information that prints in the OneDB® Primary Storage Manager debug log if you want to use a debug level that is different from the one used by ON-Bar.

onconfig.std value: Not set. The default value is used.
default value: The value of the BAR_DEBUG configuration parameter is used.
units: One digit to represent the level of debugging information that you want
range of values: 0 = No debugging messages.; 1 = Prints only internal errors.; 2 = Prints information about the entry and exit of functions and prints internal errors.; 3 = Prints the information specified by 1-2 with additional details.; 4 = Prints information about parallel operations and the information specified by 1-3.; 5 = Prints information about internal states in the OneDB Primary Storage Manager.; 6 = Prints the information specified by 1-5 with additional details.; 7 = Prints information specified by 1-6 with additional details.; 8 = Prints information specified by 1-7 with additional details.; 9 = Prints all debugging information.
takes effect: When the onpsm utility starts; When the ON-Bar utility executes commands and reads information that is specified in the BAR_DEBUG configuration parameter; When you reset the value dynamically in your onconfig file by running the onmode -wf command.; When you reset the value in memory by running the onmode -wm command.

Usage

If you set the PSM_DEBUG configuration parameter to a valid value that is higher than 0, the OneDB Primary Storage Manager logs debug messages to its debug log.

You can experiment with the debug values to find the right amount of information. Generally, if the PSM_DEBUG configuration parameter is set to 5, the storage manager prints enough information for tracing and debugging purposes.

Settings of 8 and 9 require a large amount of space.

You can also use the PSM_DEBUG environment variable to specify the amount of debugging information that prints in the storage manager debug log for your environment, for example, for a single session.
