8. If prompted to specify the file location and name, do so using a .logs extension.
The default file name is
store.logs. If you intend to capture multiple event logs,
be sure to name the files appropriately so that they can be identified later.
Note – If you are using Firefox and have a download directory set, the file is
automatically saved there.
Configuring the Debug Log
When instructed to do so by service personnel, as an Advanced Manage user you
can configure the debug log. The debug log captures data that will help service
personnel locate problems within the system logic.
After you configure the debug log as instructed, you will need to perform I/O to the
system or re-create the situation that is causing the fault. This populates the debug
log with information that service personnel can use to diagnose the system.
Note – The debug log only collects data after you configure it. It will not contain
information about any problems that occurred before you configure it.
To configure the debug log:
1. Select Manage > Utilities > Debug Utilities > Debug Log Setup.
The Debug Log Setup page is displayed.
2. Select the debug log setup you want.
Standard – Used for diagnosing general problems. With minimal impact on I/O
performance, it collects a wide range of debug data.
I/O - Performance – Used for diagnosing I/O interface problems. Using this
option, the debug log is dedicated to collecting I/O interface information, with
minimal impact on I/O performance.
Device-Side – Used for diagnosing device-side problems. It collects device
failure data as well as I/O interface information, with minimal impact on I/O
performance.
Device Management – Collects very verbose information, including all
Configuration API (CAPI) transactions. Because this option collects a lot of data,
it has a substantial impact on performance and quickly fills up the debug trace.
