Setting the Backup Log Properties on the IBM i File System Agent Client

You can configure the following properties for IBM i File System Agent backup logs:

• The debug level

• The maximum file size

• The maximum number of log

Note: Only support or admin should perform this procedure.

You can set the backup log files properties to investigate and debug issues.

The "COMMVAULT CONFIG" command is included in the IBM i File System Agent client installation. You can use this command to configure the Commvault software parameters to work with the IBM i File System Agent file system.

The default debug level is 0. You can change the level to any value between 1 and 5.

When the value is set to 1, the Commvault software adds a bit more information to the log file compared to when the value is set to 0.

When the value is set to 5, the Commvault software adds much more information to the log file compared to when the value is set to 0.

The default log size is 5M. When a backup log reaches the maximum size, it rolls over to a file and appends a number to the end of the file. For example:

cvbkp.log
 cvbkp.log1
 cvbkp.log2

You can set the number of log files for each log file name that is stored on the server.

Procedure

1. On the IBM i File System Agent host, from the 5520 terminal, run the command COMMVAULT CONFIG.

2. On the initial screen select the logger option (0) to set the properties.

3. Set the properties:

   • To set the debug level, use <LogFileName>_DEBUGLEVEL.

   • To set the log file size, use <LogFileName>_MAXLOGFILESIZE.

   • To set the maximum number of log files, use <LogFileName>_MAXLOGFILEBACKUPS.

4. Type q to return to the previous menu and then exit the program.

5. The changes take effect after the services restart.
