Problem
How to debug the Remote Agent for Linux Servers (RALUS) VxMS subsystem
Solution
If in review of a RALUS debug log there is an error with the VxMS plug-in you can debug VxMS for more information
Note:
.vxms.rc referenced below is a hidden file. Performing an
ls command will not show it by default. To see the file in a directory listing, you must use the
ls -a command.
To turn VxMS debugging:
1. Start a terminal session on the server that is running RALUS
2. Change directory to the /opt/VRTSralus/VRTSvxms/lib directory
3. Create the .vxms.rc file with the this line in it. debug_level=TRC_TOP|PARAM_IN|PARAM_OUT using the echo "debug_level=TRC_TOP|PARAM_IN|PARAM_OUT" > .vxms.rc command.

Creating and finding the log files:
Start RALUS in debug mode. (See https://www.veritas.com/docs/000028249 for details)
After running any required tests, the VxMS logs can be found in /opt/VRTSralus/VRTSvxms/logs folder.
