Sometime when we execute srvctl command it may fail or throw some error.but it is very difficult to find out where it is failing,SRVM_TRACE will help us to enable trace at command line and find out the stage where it is failing.
export SRVM_TRACE=true
then run the srvctl command, you will be able to find out the tracing details on the screen
