How to run sam in debug mode

[Richard_115]

I am interested in knowing what commands that sam used to determine if a disk is used or unused.

Thanks in advance

If you use LVM, then a pvdisplay -v devicefilename will tell you if a VG/LV is using it, but if you use any kind of raw IO to a disk, then even SAM can't tell you that it is in use!

You can look in /var/sam/log/samlog to see what commands sam used when performing a task.

Hi Richard:

In general, choose the tab of any SAM menu, and choose . This will expose the commands SAM used to process the request.

From SAM, select Options->View Sam Log and there they are!

Hi,

Normally SAM invokes the commands which are located in /usr/sam/lbin and /usr/sam/bin.

The samlog will give you the list of commands used.

The sam log is located in /var/sam/log/samlog and will detail to you all the commands it used to get the results you see in the GUI.


pvdisplay -v /dev/dsk/c#t#d# this will tell you what vg the disk belongs to.
