Media server deduplication/pdplugin logging

This topic describes the media server deduplication/pdplugin logging.

Unless you are troubleshooting the Private Branch Exchange (PBX) communication between the client direct and its media server, reduce the unnecessary CORBA/TAO to zero (0) for deduplication logging by using the following command:
# vxlogcfg -a -p NB -o 156 -s DebugLevel=0 -s DiagnosticLevel=0

For backups:

Enable verbose 5 bptm on the media servers to read/write backups
Uncomment LOGLEVEL = 10 in the media server pd.conf file

For duplications or replications:

Enable verbose 5 bpdm on the media server(s) to read/write duplications
Uncomment LOGLEVEL = 10 in the media server pd.conf file
Caution:
If you enable verbosity, it can affect performance.
Enable trace level spad and spoold logging so that the failing duplication or replication job can be traced across bpdm/pdvfs > source spad/spoold session log > source replication.log > target spad/spoold session logs
