4.11 Tracing IDM

DSTRACE is used to trace IDM communications. In a BCC, it is generally best to trace both sides
of the communication channel (both drivers).
To trace the communications for the BCC IDM drivers on a NetWare BCC
1 Modify two attributes on both DriverSet objects.
2 At the NetWare server console, load DSTRACE by entering dstrace.
3 Configure DSTRACE by entering dstrace inline -all +dvrs +dxml at the
4 Enable DSTRACE by again entering dstrace at the NetWare server console.
5 Run the desired actions for the information you want traced.
6 Disable DSTRACE by entering dstrace off at the NetWare server console.
The trace file is located at sys:/system/dstrace.log. You might want to delete this file
before starting a trace so the events logged in the file are specific to the actions you are tracing.

The drivers are not communicating on the same port.
For example, if the driver on Cluster A is listening on port 2002, the driver on Cluster B must
bind to port 2002 on Cluster A in order for the driver communication to work properly.
The format for specifying the port number in the IP address field is remote IP:remote
port:local port. For example, you could specify something similar to 10.1.1.1:2001:2001. If it
is not being used for other drivers, port 2001 can be used for the user object driver and port
2002 for the cluster object driver.
