This article documents how to increase NDMP logging levels on the datamover(s) Customer will have to provide which server number (server_x) to run the command against.

Goal How to configure the Celerra File Server for VERBOSE NDMP Logging in the Datamovers Server Log
Goal Advanced NDMP BackUp troubleshooting

Fact Product: Celerra File Server (CFS)

Fact EMC SW: NAS Code 2.2 and above

Fact 3rd party NDMP backup solutions

Fix Enabling & Disabling Verbose Logging Levels:

Using the Linux contol station for CLI

TURNING NDMP LOGGING ON: $.server_config server_x "logsys set severity NDMP=LOG_DBG2"
$.server_config server_x "logsys set severity PAX=LOG_DBG2"

TURNING NDMP LOGGING OFF: $.server_config server_x "logsys set severity NDMP=LOG_ERR"
$.server_config server_x "logsys set severity PAX=LOG_ERR"

Using the server_log command you can redirect the server_log to a file using server_log server_2 -a -s > server_2.log

Note: If implementing any 'DEBUG' levels of NDMP logging, it is highly recommended that you setup the following command to pipe the Server Log into a file so that all debug information is capture. Otherwise the Server Log wraps too quickly and debug logging can wrap
$server_log server_2 -f -s > s2log.log & [$jobs #fg %1 ctrl + c]
