files:
• Add the dual_files parameter to specify whether tracing is to one or
two files:
— To trace to two files, specify
snapadmin set_trace_file, dual_files = YES
— To trace to one file, specify
snapadmin set_trace_file, dual_files = NO
• Add the trace_file_size parameter to specify the maximum size of
the trace file, in bytes. (If dual_files is set to NO, this parameter is
ignored.) For example:
snapadmin set_trace_file, trace_file_size = 1000000
• Add the file_name and file_name_2 parameters to rename the trace
files. (If dual_files is set to NO, the file_name_2 parameter is
ignored.) For example:
snapadmin set_trace_file, file_name = new1.trc,
file_name_2 = new2.trc
Step 2. Perform one of the following procedures:
• Activate line tracing on all DLCs, ports, and link stations (LSs) by
specifying the following:
snapadmin add_dlc_trace
• Control the amount of line tracing by specifying the resource type (for
example, port and link station):
— To restrict the tracing to a particular port, specify the command with
the following parameters:
snapadmin add_dlc_trace, resource_type = PORT,
resource_name = port_name
— To restrict the tracing to a particular LS, specify the command with
the following parameters:
snapadmin add_dlc_trace, resource_type = LS,
resource_name = LS_name
Tracing is now enabled and written to the following binary files (unless
