摘要： A method for collecting information about the operating condition of a computer system. The method comprises the steps of running a first trace program that collects information about the operating condition of the computer and, in response to the detection of an error in the operating condition of the data storage system by the first program, determining whether a first flag is on or off. The first flag indicates whether or not a second trace program should be run. If the first flag is on, the second program is run. The second trace program is designed to collect different information about the operating condition of the computer system than the first trace program collects.
