How to turn debug on for Sun Cluster HA for Samba

Use the information in this section to understand how to turn on debug for Sun Cluster HA for Samba.

Sun Cluster HA for Samba can be used by multiple Samba instances. However, it is possible to turn debug on for all Samba instances or a particular Samba instance.

Each Samba component has a DEBUG file under /opt/SUNWscsmb/xxx/etc, where xxx is a three character abbreviation for the respective Samba component.

These files allow you to turn debug on for all Samba instances or for a specific Samba instance on a particular node with Sun Cluster. If you require debug to be turned on for Sun Cluster HA for Samba across the whole Sun Cluster, you will need to repeat this step on all nodes within Sun Cluster.

  1. Edit /etc/syslog.conf

    Edit /etc/syslog.conf and change daemon.notice to daemon.debug


    # grep daemon /etc/syslog.conf
    *.err;kern.debug;daemon.notice;mail.crit        /var/adm/messages
    *.alert;kern.err;daemon.err                     operator
    #

    Change the daemon.notice to daemon.debug and restart syslogd. Note that the output below, from the command grep daemon /etc/syslog.conf, shows that daemon.debug has now been set.


    # grep daemon /etc/syslog.conf
    *.err;kern.debug;daemon.debug;mail.crit        /var/adm/messages
    *.alert;kern.err;daemon.err                    operator
    #
    # pkill -1 syslogd
    #
  2. Edit /opt/SUNWscsmb/samba/etc/config

    Perform this step for the Samba component (smb), then repeat for the optional Winbind components that requires debug output, on each node of Sun Cluster as required.

    Edit /opt/SUNWscsmb/samba/etc/config and change DEBUG= to DEBUG=ALL or DEBUG=resource


    # cat /opt/SUNWscsmb/samba/etc/config
