Getting technical help

Contact your switch support supplier for hardware, firmware, and software support, including product repairs and part ordering. To expedite your call, have the following information available:

1. General Information

• Switch model

• Switch operating system version

• Software name and software version, if applicable

• Error numbers and messages received

• supportSave command output

• Detailed description of the problem, including the switch or fabric behavior immediately

following the problem, and specific questions

• Description of any troubleshooting steps already performed and the results

• Serial console and Telnet session logs

• syslog message logs

2. Switch Serial Number

The switch serial number and corresponding bar code are provided on the serial number label, as illustrated below.

The serial number label is located as follows:

• Brocade 300, 5100, 5300, 6505, 6510, 6520, 7800, 8000, VA-40FC, and Brocade

Encryption Switch—On the switch ID pull-out tab located inside the chassis on the port side on the left.

• Brocade 5410, 5424, 5430, 5450, 5460, 5470, 5480—Serial number label attached to

the module.

• Brocade DCX and DCX 8510-8—On the port side of the chassis, on the lower right side and

directly above the cable management comb.

• Brocade DCX-4S and DCX 8510-4—On the non-port side of the chassis, on the lower left

side.

3. World Wide Name (WWN)

Use the licenseIdShow command to display the WWN of the chassis.

xx Fabric OS Message Reference

53-1002749-01

If you cannot use the licenseIdShow command because the switch is inoperable, you can get the WWN from the same place as the serial number, except for the Brocade DCX. For the Brocade DCX, access the numbers on the WWN cards by removing the Brocade logo plate at the top of the non-port side of the chassis.

Overview of system messages

This guide supports Fabric OS v7.1.0 and documents system messages that can help you diagnose and fix problems with a switch or fabric. The messages are organized alphabetically by module name. A module is a subsystem in the Fabric OS. Each module generates a set of numbered messages. For each message, this guide provides message text, probable cause, recommended action, and severity level. There may be more than one cause and more than one recommended action for any given message. This guide discusses the most probable cause and typical action recommended.

System message types

Fabric OS supports three types of system messages. A system message can be of one or more of the following types:

• RASLog messages

• Audit log messages

• FFDC messages

Fabric OS supports a different methodology for storing and accessing each type of message.

Fabric OS Message Reference 1 53-1002749-01

Overview of system messages

RASLog messages

RASLog messages report significant system events (failure, error, or critical conditions) or information and are also used to show the status of the high-level user-initiated actions. RASLog messages are forwarded to the console, to the configured syslog servers, and to the SNMP management station through the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) traps or informs.

The following is an example of a RASLog system message.

Audit log messages

Event auditing is designed to support post-event audits and problem determination based on high-frequency events of certain types such as security violations, zoning configuration changes, firmware downloads, and certain types of fabric events. Audit messages flagged as AUDIT are not saved in the switch error logs. The switch can be configured to stream Audit messages to the switch console and to forward the messages to specified syslog servers. The Audit log messages are not forwarded to an SNMP management station. There is no limit to the number of audit events.

The following is an example of an Audit message.

0 AUDIT, 2012/10/14-06:07:33 (UTC), [SULB-1003], INFO, FIRMWARE, admin/admin/192.0.2.2/telnet/CLI ad_0/switch, , Firmwarecommit has started.

For any given event, Audit messages capture the following information:

• User Name - The name of the user who triggered the action.

• User Role - The access level of the user, such as root or admin.

• Event Name - The name of the event that occurred.

• Event Information - Information about the event.

The seven event classes described in Table 1 can be audited.

TABLE 1 Event classes

Operand Event class Description

1 Zone You can audit zone event configuration changes, but not the actual

values that were changed. For example, you may receive a message that states “Zone configuration has changed,” but the message does not display the actual values that were changed.

2 Security You can audit any user-initiated security event for all management

interfaces. For events that have an impact on the entire fabric, an audit is only generated for the switch from which the event was initiated.

3 Configuration You can audit configuration downloads of existing SNMP

configuration parameters. Configuration uploads are not audited.

4 Firmware You can audit configuration downloads of existing SNMP

configuration parameters. Configuration uploads are not audited.

5 Fabric You can audit Administration Domain-related changes.

TABLE 1 Event classes (Continued)

Operand Event class Description

6 FW You can audit Fabric Watch (FW)-related changes.

7 LS You can audit Virtual Fabric (Logical Switch)-related changes.

8 CLI You can audit the CLI commands executed on the switch.

N/A RAS Used to audit or track the RASLog messages or modules that are

enabled or disabled using the rasAdmin command.

NOTE: The RAS class is not configurable, and it is always enabled

internally.

Fabric OS v7.1.0 generates component-specific Audit messages.

Event auditing is a configurable feature, which is by default disabled. You mus t enable event auditing using the auditCfg

--enable command to send the events to a configured remote host.

Syslogd must be configured for logging audit messages. You can set up filters to screen out particular classes of events using the auditCfg command. The defined set of Audit messages is sent to the configured remote host in the Audit message format, so that they are easily distinguishable from other syslog events that may occur in the network. For details on how to configure event auditing, refer to “Configuring event auditing” on page 15.

FFDC messages

First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) is used to capture failure-specific data when a problem or failure is noted for the first time and before the switch reboots, or trace and log buffer get wrapped. All subsequent iterations of the same error are ignored. This critical debug information is saved in nonvolatile storage and can be retrieved using the supportSave command. The FFDC data is used for debugging or analyzing the problem. FFDC is intended for use by Brocade technical support.

FFDC is enabled by default. Execute the supportFfdc command to enable or disable FFDC. If FFDC is disabled, the FFDC daemon does not capture any data, even when a message with an FFDC attribute is logged.

The following is an example of the FFDC message.

2000/12/17-08:30:13, [SS-1000], 88, SLOT 6 | FFDC | CHASSIS, INFO, DCX, supportSave has uploaded support information to the host with IP address

192.0.2.2.

Message severity levels

Tab le 2 shows the four levels of severity for system messages, ranging from CRITICAL (1) to INFO

(4). In general, the definitions are wide ranging and are to be used as general guidelines for troubleshooting. For all cases, you must look at each specific error message description thoroughly before taking action.

Fabric OS Message Reference 3 53-1002749-01

example, detecting online and offline status of a fabric port.

The RASLog service generates and stores messages related to abnormal or erroneous system behavior. It includes the following features:

• All RASLog error messages are saved to nonvolatile storage by default.

• The system error message log can save a maximum of 1024 messages in random access

memory (RAM).

• The system message log is implemented as a circular buffer. When more than the maximum

entries are added to the log file, old entries are overwritten by new entries.

• Messages are numbered sequentially from 1 to 2,147,483,647 (0x7ffffff). The sequence

number will continue to increase beyond the storage limit of 1024 messages. The sequence number can be reset to 1 using the errClear command. The sequence number is persistent across power cycles and switch reboots.

• Trace dump, FFDC, and core dump files can be uploaded to the FTP server using the

supportSave command.

• Brocade recommends that you configure the syslogd facility as a management tool for error

logs. This is particularly important for dual-domain switches because the syslogd facility saves messages from two logical switches as a single file and in sequential order. For more information, refer to “System logging daemon” on page 5.

• RASLog messages are streamed to the console, and are forwarded to the configured syslog

servers and to the SNMP management station through the SNMP traps (in SNMPv1 and SNMPv3) or informs (in SNMPv3). Use the snmpConfig command to configure the SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 hosts and their configurations.

• Audit messages are streamed to the switch console, and are forwarded to the configured

syslog servers. The Audit log messages are not forwarded to an SNMP management station.

4 Fabric OS Message Reference

53-1002749-01

Configuring the syslog message destinations

You can configure the Fabric OS to send the syslog messages to the following output locations: syslog daemon, system console, and SNMP management station.

System logging daemon

The system logging daemon (syslogd) is a process on UNIX, Linux, and some Windows systems that reads and logs messages as specified by the system administrator.

Fabric OS can be configured to use a UNIX-style syslogd process to forward system events and error messages to log files on a remote host system. The host system can be running UNIX, Linux, or any other operating system that supports the standard syslogd functionality. Configuring for syslogd involves configuring the host, enabling syslogd on the Brocade model, and, optionally, setting the facility level.

For the Brocade DCX family of switches, each control processor (CP) has a unique error log, depending on which CP was active when that message was reported. To fully understand message logging, you should enable the syslogd, because the logs on the host computer are maintained in a single merged file for both CPs and are in sequential order. Otherwise, you must examine the error logs in both CPs, particularly for events such as firmwareDownload or haFailover, for which the active CP changes.

For the Brocade DCX family of switches, any security violations that occur through Telnet, HTTP, or serial connections are not propagated between CPs. Security violations on the active CP are not propagated to the standby CP counters in the event of a failover, nor do security violations on the standby CP get propagated to the active CP counters.

Configuring a syslog server

To configure the switch to forward all system events and error messages to the syslogd of one or more servers, perform the following steps.

1. Log in to the switch as admin.

2. Execute the syslogdIpAdd IP address command to add a server to which system messages are forwarded.

switch:admin> syslogdipadd 192.0.2.2

You can configure up to six syslog servers to receive the syslog messages.

3. Execute the syslogdIpShow command to verify the syslog configuration on the switch.

switch:admin> syslogdipshow syslog.1 192.0.2.2

You can remove a configured syslog server using the syslogdIpRemove IP address command.

System console

The system console displays RASLog messages, Audit messages (if enabled), and panic dump messages. These messages are mirrored to the system console; they are always saved in one of the system logs.

Fabric OS Message Reference 5 53-1002749-01

Configuring the syslog message destinations

The system console displays messages only through the serial port. If you log in to a switch through the Ethernet port or modem port, you will not receive system console messages.

You can filter messages that display on the system console by severity using the errFilterSet command. All messages are still sent to the system message log and syslogd (if configured).

Setting the system console severity level

You can limit the types of messages that are logged to the console using the errFilterSet command. The system messages displayed on the console are filtered up to and include the configured severity level. You can choose one of the following severity levels: INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL.

To set the severity levels for the system console, perform the following steps.

1. Log in to the switch as admin.

2. Execute the errFilterSet [-d console -v severity] command to set the console severity level. The severity can be one of the following: INFO, WARNING, ERROR, or CRITICAL. The severity values are not case-sensitive.

For example, to set the filter severity level for the console to ERROR, enter the following command.

switch:admin> errfilterset -d console -v error

3. Execute the errFilterSet command to verify the configured filter settings.

switch:admin> errfilterset console: filter severity = ERROR

SNMP trap recipient

An unsolicited message that comes to the management station from the SNMP agent on the device is called a trap. When an event occurs and if the event severity level is at or below the set severity level, the SNMP trap, swEventTrap, is sent to the configured trap recipients. The VarBind in the Trap Data Unit contains the corresponding instance of the event index, time information, event severity level, the repeat count, and description. The following are the possible severity levels:

• None (0)

• Critical (1)

• Error (2)

• Warning (3)

• Informational (4)

• Debug (5)

By default, the severity level is set to None, implying all traps are filtered and therefore no event traps are received. When the severity level is set to Informational, all traps with the severity level of Informational, Warning, Error, and Critical are received. For more information on changing the severity level of swEventTrap, refer to “Changing the severity level of swEventTrap” on page 11.

NOTE

The Audit messages are not converted into swEventTrap.

6 Fabric OS Message Reference

53-1002749-01

Configuring the syslog message destinations

The SNMP traps are unreliable because the trap recipient does not send any acknowledgment when it receives a trap. Therefore, the SNMP agent cannot determine if the trap was received.

Brocade switches send traps out on UDP port 162. To receive traps, the management station IP address must be configured on the switch. You can configure the SNMPv1 and SNMPv3 hosts to receive the traps.

For more information on the swEventTrap, refer to the Fabric OS MIB Reference.

Configuring the SNMPv1 trap recipient

Use the snmpConfig --set snmpv1 command to specify the recipient of the SNMP trap. To configure the SNMPv1 host to receive the trap, perform the following steps.

1. Log in to the switch as admin.

2. Execute the snmpConfig

switch:admin> snmpconfig --set snmpv1

SNMP community and trap recipient configuration: Community (rw): [Secret C0de] Trap Recipient's IP address : [192.0.2.2] Trap recipient Severity level : (0..5) [4] Trap recipient Port : (0..65535) [162] Community (rw): [OrigEquipMfr] Trap Recipient's IP address : [fec0:60:22bc:200:313:72ff:fe64:78b2]

SNMP inform recipient

An SNMP inform is similar to the SNMP trap except that the management station that receives an SNMP inform acknowledges the system message with an SNMP response packet data unit (PDU). If the sender does not receive the SNMP response PDU, the inform request can be sent again. An SNMP inform request is saved in the switch memory until a response is received or the request times out. The informs are more reliable and they consume more resources in the device and in the network. Use SNMP informs only if it is important that the management station receives all event notifications. Otherwise, use the SNMP traps. Brocade devices support SNMPv3 informs.

Configuring the SNMPv3 inform recipient

To configure the SNMPv3 host to receive the SNMP informs, perform the following steps.

1. Log in to the switch as admin.

Port logs

The Fabric OS maintains an internal log of all port activity. Each switch or logical switch maintains a log file for each port. Port logs are circular buffers that can save up to 8000 entries per logical switch. When the log is full, the newest log entries overwrite the oldest log entries. Port logs capture switch-to-device, device-to-switch, switch-to-switch, some device A-to-device B, and control information. Port logs are not persistent and are lost over power cycles and reboots.

Execute the portLogShow command to display the port logs for a particular port.

Execute the portLogEventShow command to display the specific events reported for each port.

Port log functionality is completely separate from the system message log. Port logs are typically used to troubleshoot device connections.

Changing the severity level of swEventTrap

When an event occurs and if the event severity level is at or below the set severity level, the SNMP trap, swEventTrap, is sent to the configured trap recipients. By default, the severity level is set at 0 (None), implying that all the event traps are sent. Use the snmpConfig command to modify the severity level of swEventTrap.

Responding to a system message

This section provides procedures on gathering information on system messages.

Looking up a system message

Messages in this manual are arranged alphabetically by Module ID, and then numerically within a given module. To look up a message, copy down the module (see Table 6 on page 28) and the error code and compare this with the Table of Contents or look up lists to determine the location of the information for that message.

The following information is provided for each message:

• Module and code name for the error

• Message text

• Message type

• Class (for Audit messages only)

• Message severity

• Probable cause

• Recommended action

Gathering information about the problem

Questions to ask yourself when troubleshooting a system message are as follows:

• What is the current Fabric OS level?

• What is the switch hardware version?

• Is the switch operational?

• Assess impact and urgency:

- Is the switch down?

- Is it a standalone switch?

- How large is the fabric?

- Is the fabric redundant?

• Execute the errDump command on each logical switch.

• Execute the supportFtp command (as needed) to set up automatic FTP transfers, and then run

the supportSave command.

• Document the sequence of events by answering the following questions:

- What happened just prior to the problem?

- Is the problem repeatable?

- If so, what are the steps to produce the problem?

- What configuration was in place when the problem occurred?

• Did a failover occur?

• Was security enabled?

• Was POST enabled?

26 Fabric OS Message Reference

53-1002749-01

Responding to a system message

• Are serial port (console) logs available?

• Which CP was master?

• What and when were the last actions or changes made to the system?

Common steps to be followed when troubleshooting a system message are as follows:

• Execute the errDump command on each logical switch.

• Execute the supportFtp command (as needed) to set up automatic FTP transfers, and then

execute the supportSave command.

Support

Fabric OS creates a number of files that can help support personnel troubleshoot and diagnose a problem. This section describes those files and how to access or save the information for support personnel.

Panic dump and core dump files

The Fabric OS creates panic dump files and core files when there are problems in the Fabric OS kernel. You can view panic dump files using the pdShow command. These files can build up in the kernel partition (typically because of failovers) and might need to be periodically deleted or downloaded using the supportSave command.

The software watchdog process (SWD) is responsible for monitoring daemons critical to the function of a healthy switch. The SWD holds a list of critical daemons that ping the SWD periodically at a predetermined interval defined for each daemon. The ping interval is set at 133 seconds, with the exception of the Fabric Watch daemon and the IP storage demon, which ping the SWD every 333 seconds. (For a complete listing of daemons, refer to the KSWD entry in Tab le 6.)

If a daemon fails to ping the SWD within the defined interval, or if the daemon terminates unexpectedly, then the SWD dumps information to the panic dump files, which helps to diagnose the root cause of the unexpected failure.

Execute the pdShow command to view these files or the supportSave command to send them to a host workstation using FTP. The panic dump files and core files are intended for support personnel use only.

Trace dumps

The Fabric OS produces trace dumps when problems are encountered within Fabric OS modules. The Fabric OS trace dump files are intended for support personnel use only. You can use the supportSave or supportFTP commands to collect trace dump files to a specified remote location to provide to support when requested.

supportSave command

The supportSave command can be used to send the output of the system messages (RASLog), the trace files, and the output of the supportShow command to an off-switch storage location through FTP. Prior to running the supportSave command, you can optionally set up the FTP parameters using the supportFtp command. The supportShow command runs a large number of dump and show commands to provide a global output of the status of the switch. Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference for more information on these commands.

System module descriptions

Tab le 6 provides a summary of the system modules for which messages are documented in this

guide; the system modules are listed alphabetically by name. A module is a subsystem in the Fabric OS. Each module generates a set of numbered messages.
