dbts Command

Purpose

Debugs a thin server.

Syntax

dbts [-v] ThinServer

Description

The dbts command lets a thin server boot into debug mode. The command checks if the thin server was previously booted into debug mode by searching for a debug boot image created for the thin server. If none is found, the common image that the thin server is using is cloned and a debug boot image is created from the clone to allow the thin server to boot into debug mode. The debug boot image clone uses the following naming convention:

{COSI name}_{thin server name}-debug

After the thin server is finished using the debug common image, the swts command must be run to switch the thin server to a different common image. The rmcosi command removes the debug common image created from the dbts command. The dbts command can run on either a NIM master or a thin server.
