voltrace - Trace operations on volumes
/usr/sbin/voltrace [-eEla] [-d outputfile] [-f inputfile]
[-t timeout] [-c eventcount] [-w waitinterval] [-b buffersize]
[-g diskgroup] [-o objtype[,objtype]...] [name |
device]...
The following options are recognized by voltrace: Selects
new error trace data. The default is to select I/O trace
data. Selects pre-existing error trace data. This can be
combined with -e to get both preexisting trace data and
new trace data. Specifies long format. Prints all available
fields for all tracing records, rather than a subset
of the available fields. The default is to use the short
format. Writes (dumps) binary trace data to the specified
output file. Appends to the outputfile rather than truncating
it. By default, the output file is truncated.
Reads binary trace data from the specified input file,
rather than from the kernel. Accumulates trace data for
at most timeout seconds and then exits. Accumulates at
most eventcount events and then exits. The timeout and
eventcount options can be used together. If voltrace
waits for waitinterval seconds without receiving any new
events, prints the message waiting... to allow scripts to
wake up and process previously accumulated events. This
is mostly of use for processing errors. The waiting...
message does not count as an event for the purposes of the
-c option. Sets the kernel I/O trace buffer size or sets
the read buffer size when used with the -f option. The
Logical Storage Manager kernel allocates a private kernel
space to buffer the I/O trace records for each voltrace
command. The default buffer size is 8K bytes. Some trace
records may be discarded if the trace buffer is too small.
This option can be used to set a larger or a smaller kernel
trace buffer size. The buffer size is specified as a
standard Logical Storage Manager length (see volintro(8)).
Depending on the Logical Storage Manager kernel configuration,
usually only a maximum of 64K bytes buffer size will
be granted. Selects objects from the specified disk
group. The disk group can be specified either by disk
group ID or by disk group name. With no name or device
operands, all appropriate objects in the disk group are
selected. With name operands, diskgroup names the disk
group that is expected to contain the named configuration
record. Selects object based on the objtype option arguments.
Multiple types of objects can be specified with
one or several -o options. The possible object selection
types are: Selects mirrored or RAID-5 volume kernel
objects. Selects striped or concatenated plex kernel
objects. Selects mirrored volume kernel objects. Selects
subdisk kernel objects. Selects LSM physical disks.
Selects virtual disk devices. Selects DRL or RAID-5 log
volumes. Selects RAID-5 log plexes. Selects DRL or
RAID-5 log subdisks. Selects all log objects. Selects
all possible virtual disk devices, kernel objects and
physical disks.
If name or device operands are provided, kernel objects of
the requested types are selected if they are associated
with the configuration records or virtual disk devices
indicated by those operands.
The voltrace utility prints kernel error or I/O trace
event records on the standard output or writes them to a
file in binary format. Binary trace records written to a
file can be read back and formatted by voltrace as well.
If no operands are given, either all error trace data or
all I/O trace data on all virtual disk devices are
reported. With error trace data, it is possible to select
all accumulated error trace data, to wait for new error
trace data, or both (the default). Selection can be limited
to a specific disk group, to specific kernel I/O
object types, or to particular named objects or devices.
Operands specify configuration record names, or physical
or virtual disk device nodes (by device path). If no
object types were selected with the -o option, only trace
records corresponding to the indicated configuration
records or devices are selected; otherwise, objects of the
requested types are selected if they are associated in any
way with the named configuration record or device.
If a name argument does not match a regular configuration
record but does match a disk access record, the indicated
physical disk is selected. Physical disks can also be
selected by the device path of the public region partition,
or by the disk media record name.
By default name arguments are searched for in all disk
groups or in the disk group specified using the -g option.
Without the -g option, a record that is found in more than
one disk group will cause an error unless the record is in
the rootdg disk group (in which case, the record in the
rootdg disk group is selected). The disk group for any
individual name operand can be overridden using the form:
diskgroup/recordname
Note
When reading trace data from a file with the -f option,
association information is not available.
To trace all physical disk I/Os, use the command: #
voltrace -o disk To trace virtual disk device I/Os to the
device associated with volume testvol, use either of the
commands: # voltrace -o dev testvol # voltrace
/dev/vol/testvol To trace all log subdisks associated with
volume testvol, use the command: # voltrace -o logsd
testvol To trace all log objects, use the command: #
voltrace -o log To accumulate 10 seconds worth of trace
data for disk04 and then format that data, use the command:
# voltrace -t 10 -d /tmp/tracedata disk04 # voltrace
-l -f /tmp/tracedata To read error trace data into a
script for processing, using 10 second pauses to generate
mail messages, use the command: # voltrace -leE -w 10 |
while read...
Default device to which events are logged.
