In limited circumstances, you may want to run an instance of EVM in verbose mode as an aid in troubleshooting. In verbose mode, EVM directs detailed information to the terminal window.
IMPORTANT: Use of EVM verbose mode is not recommended for standard operations.
If running, stop the EVM process.
CAUTION: Before stopping EVM, ensure that no EVM job is running. Stopping EVM while an EVM job is running can lead to unpredictable results, including loss of data.
Change to the directory $EVM_HOME/bin.
Enter evm verbose. After being started, EVM detects and gathers information about the storage configuration and SAN topology and then displays a Ready indicator. In most cases, EVM completes its startup tasks in two minutes or less.
