Vpfsd logs for file system operations in universal shares

Vpfsd log reporting enables logging of the file system operations that took a longer time than expected. There are two configurations to enable vpfsd log reporting. Both configurations are disabled by default.

To enable vpfsd logging for the file system operations

  1. Enable logging for the file system operations:

    /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_actions --action setVpfsConfigValue --key enableVpfsdLogReporting --value true

    The vpfsd logging is enabled for the following file system operations:

    • getattr

    • rename

    • open

    • read

    • write

    • fsync

    • truncate

    • getDataCacheNodeForWrite

  2. Enable logging for the extended file system operations:

    /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_actions --action setVpfsConfigValue --key enableVpfsdLogReportingExtended --value true

    The vpfsd logging is enabled for all the file system operations.

  3. Search the messages in the file:

    cat /msdp/vol/log/vpfs/vpfsd/vpfs0_vpfsd.log | grep "WARNING.*exceeded configured threshold"

  4. (Optional) Change the logging threshold:

    /usr/openv/pdde/vpfs/bin/vpfs_actions --action setVpfsConfigValue --key logReportWriteTimeThreshold --value
