Verbosity Settings

The verbosity (v) settings (v0, v1, v2, v3) correspond to the level of detail that will be displayed,

with v0 being the lowest level of detail and v3 being the highest level.

Component Settings

Detailed information for a single system component can be specified by using its identity (i) number

setting (i0 through i5) in the following table. Minimal information for all five components can be

specified by using the identity number i0.

Default Settings

 At system boot, the ~scrv0i1! setting is displayed (FIG. 17 on page 30).

 If the verbosity setting is omitted, the verbosity level will be the lowest (v0).

 The component setting must be included; otherwise, entering any of the verbosity settings

alone will result in a display equivalent to v0i0.

 If both settings are omitted during a query (~scr!), the information displayed will be at the

lowest verbosity level for all components (v0i0) (FIG. 34 on page 63).

Using BCS to Access System Diagnostic Information

Instructions are provided for accessing the lowest level of verbosity for all components and for accessing

a specific level of verbosity for a specific component.

To access the lowest level of verbosity for all components:

Enter ~scr! or ~scrv0i0!

Note: Either of these commands provides a “menu” of the identity numbers and their corresponding

components (FIG. 34 on page 63).

Only one verbosity setting and one component setting can be entered in a command. The order in which

the verbosity and component settings are entered is interchangeable.

To access a specific level of verbosity for a specific component:

Enter ~scr (to access the splash screen).

2. Enter the verbosity level setting v# and the component’s identity setting i#.

Either may be specified first.

3. Enter ! (to send the command).

Example

~scrv3i5! or ~scri5v3! (Either displays the highest level of detail for the VM Configuration.)
