1040 Fabric OS Command Reference

setDbg

Sets the debug level of the specified module.

SYNOPSIS setdbg [module_name][level]

DESCRIPTION Use this command to set the debug level of a specified module. Debug levels filter the display of debug

messages to the serial console. By default, no debug messages are displayed.

High debug level values can generate a large volume of messages, degrading the system response time.

The set of supported modules and their current debug levels are displayed by the command dbgShow.

NOTES The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric or Admin Domain restrictions that may be in

place. Refer to Chapter 1, "Using Fabric OS Commands" and Appendix A, "Command Availability" for

details.

OPERANDS This command has the following operands:

module_name

Specify the name of the module for which you want to set the debug levels.

Module names are case-sensitive. If this operand is omitted an error message is

displayed.

level

Specify the debug level for the specified module (0 to 9). A zero (0) value (default)

specifies that no messages are to display. Higher values cause more messages

from that module to display. If this operand is omitted an error message is

displayed.

EXAMPLES To set the debug level for a module named NS to value 3:

switch:admin> setdbg NS 3

switch:admin> dbgshow NS

Module NS, debug level = 3, verbose level = 0
