Veritas NetBackup™ for Hyper-V Administrator's Guide

Enabling VxFI logging

By default, VxFI logging occurs at the error level. You can increase the logging verbosity by changing the log configuration file for the appropriate provider.

To increase the VxFI logging level

  1. On the Windows desktop of the Hyper-V server where the NetBackup client is installed, go to the following location:

    \Program Files\Common Files\Symantec Shared\VxFI\4\ConfigFiles\

    This folder contains a configuration file for each provider, such as vss.conf and emcclariionfi.conf. These files are generated after a successful load of VxFI providers, usually during NetBackup policy validation.

  2. Edit the .conf file for the appropriate provider, as follows:

    Change the TRACELEVEL entry to the following:

    "TRACELEVEL"=dword:00000006

    The default TRACELEVEL value is 00000001.

    Note that VSS and WMI provider logs are relevant to Hyper-V.
