Atape trace log files are filling my /var filesystem, how do I disable Atape rmt tracing?

Question

Atape trace log files are filling my /var filesystem, how do I disable Atape rmt tracing?


Cause

Atape trace_logging attribute is "off" by default, but may have been left "on" from prior troubleshooting.

Answer

The Atape rmt device attributes include a "trace_logging" attribute that will continuously write "Atape.rmt<#>.trace<#>" files to the /var/adm/ras directory if enabled.
You can disable Atape trace logging by changing the trace_logging attribute to "no" with chdev. For example:

chdev -l rmt0 -a trace_logging=no
