Setting Media Manager debug logging to a higher level

To solve many error conditions, set the debug logging to a higher level. Then retry the operation and examine the debug logs.

To set debug logging to a higher level

  1. Enable legacy debug logging by creating the necessary directories and folders.
  2. Increase the level of verbosity for media and device management processes by adding the VERBOSE option in the vm.conf file. This file is located in /usr/openv/volmgr/ (UNIX and Linux) or install_path\Volmgr\ (Windows).
  3. Restart the daemons and services or run the command verbose option, if available.
