HOWTO: Debug initial setup - ibmcb/cbtool GitHub Wiki

The first place to look for errors is the log files, located at /var/log/cloudbench/<USERNAME>_*. The Orchestrator-side operations (e.g., vmattach) will be recorded to /var/log/cloudbench/<USERNAME>_operations.log. When Virtual Application's configuration scripts are executed, the result is logged on /var/log/cloudbench/<USERNAME>_remotescripts.log. In case of failure it is useful to restart CBTOOL with the option "-v 8"
Debugging single-VM attachment errors (e.g. vmattach tinyvm):
- First of all, instruct CBTOOL to deploy the instances without attempting to establishing contact to these, by running the command vmdev.
- After that, just run vmattach tinyvm once. CBTOOL will output each command that would have been executed against the VM. At this point, you can just execute the commands yourself and check for error messages.
- Once done, do not forget to disable the debug mode by issuing the command vmundev
- NOTE: There is a small utility, called "cbssh", that could be used to directly connect to the VMs. To try it, just run - on a bash prompt - cd ~/cbtool; ~/cbtool/cbssh vm_1, and you should be able to login on the instance.

Debugging single-VApp attachment errors (e.g. aiattach nullworkload):
- First of all, instruct CBTOOL to deploy the Virtual Application instances without attempting to run the configuration scripts on its multiple VMs, by running the command appdev.
- After that, just run aiattach nullworkload once. CBTOOL will output each command that would have been executed against each one of the VMs that compose the VApp. At this point, you can just execute the command yourself and check what could be wrong. IMPORTANT:Please note that some commands should be executed in parallel (or at least in a non-sequential manner) and therefore might require multiple prompts for overlapping execution.
- Once done, do not forget to disable the debug mode by issuing the command appundev

Debugging absence of performance metrics post single-VApp attachment (e.g. aiattach nullworkload):
- First of all, instruct CBTOOL to fully deploy the Virtual Application instance, but do not start the actual load generation by running the command appnoload.
- After that, just run aiattach nullworkload once. At the very end, CBTOOL will output a message such as "Load Manager will NOT be automatically started on VM NAME during the deployment of VAPP NAME...". After the Virtual Application attachment completes, just move to another terminal and login on the VM name with cd ~cbtool; ~/cbtool/cbssh <VM NAME>, and then run /usr/local/bin/cbloadman debug.
- Once done, do not forget to disable the debug mode by issuing the command appload
