Setting the CIFS log level

You can set the CIFS log level for the Access Appliance cluster, and then upload the debugging information to an external server for troubleshooting.

Use the Support>man debuginfo command to see the man page.

See Retrieving and sending debugging information.

To set the CIFS log level

  • Set the CIFS-related log level for the Access Appliance cluster.
    Support> debuginfo setlog cifs loglevel

    A valid loglevel ranges from 0 to 10, 10 being the most detailed log level. It is recommended to increase the CIFS log level, reproduce the CIFS issue, and then upload debugging information for the CIFS issue.

    The default log level is 2.

    For example, to set the CIFS log level to 10 for the Access Appliance cluster:

    Support> debuginfo setlog cifs 10
