12 Diagnostic and System Error Messages Version 3.1.x Reference Guide
Introduction to System Error
Messages
This book supports Fabric OS version 3.1.x and contains diagnostic and system
error messages, with recommended responses to the messages. Error messages are
arranged alphabetically, first by module and then by individual message. A typical
module contains multiple error messages. Each error message description consists
of the following:
■ The message text
■ An explanation of the message or its probable cause
■ A recommended user response
■ The message’s severity level.
There may be more than one cause and more than one recommended course of
action for any given message. This document provides the most probable cause
and recommends the typically most beneficial response.
This chapter provides an introduction to the error log system and consists of the
following major topics:
1
■ Error Message Severity Levels on page 13
■ Overview of System Logs on page 15
■ View or Configure System Logs on page 17
■ Reading a System Error Message on page 19
■ Responding to a System Error Message on page 22
Error Message Severity Levels
There are six levels of severity, ranging from 0 (panic) to 5 (debug). The
definitions of the severity levels are quite general and should be used as guidelines
for troubleshooting. In each case, you should thoroughly assess each error log
description before taking a recovery action.

14 Diagnostic and System Error Messages Version 3.1.x Reference Guide
Introduction to System Error Messages
Table 2: Error Message Severity Levels
Severity Level Description
0 = Panic Panic-level messages indicate that a specific software subsystem has detected a
fatal or irrecoverable error condition—for example, memory allocation failure,
system call failure, and software detection of misbehaving ASIC or hardware
subsystems. Such errors indicate either partial or complete failure of a subsystem.
A panic frequently results in a reboot of a single-processor switch or a failover of a
StorageWorks Core switch operating in a fully redundant state.
1 = Critical Critical-level messages indicate serious problems detected by the software that will
eventually cause a partial or complete failure of a subsystem—for example, a
power supply or sensor failure can generate a critical level error message. Some
critical errors may overlap in severity with panic-level errors.
2 = Error Error-level messages indicate conditions that may not be fatal. These messages are
considered less severe than panic- or critical-level error messages. For example,
error-level messages may indicate timeouts seen on certain operations, failures of
certain operations after retries, invalid parameters, or failure to perform a
requested operation.
3 = Warning Warning-level messages are less severe than error-level messages. These messages
may indicate temporary failures detected by a software module or the detection of
a parameter under monitoring that exceeded a specific threshold value.
4 = Informational Informational-level messages require no corrective or recovery action. They record
events in the system—for example, the disabling of a port or the clearing of a
switch error log—and provide a description of those events to the user.
5 = Debug Debug-level messages are produced by code inserted to inform HP that a
suspected problem has occurred.

System Logs, and explains how to view the information in the log files.

Introduction to System Error Messages
System Error Log
The Fabric OS maintains an internal System Error Log of all diagnostic and
system error messages. The internal log buffers are limited in size; when the
internal buffers are full, new messages overwrite old messages.
The following are features of the System Error Log:
■ Each switch has a System Error Log. Messages are lost over power cycles and
reboots.
■ The System Error Log can save a maximum of 1536 messages in RAM. That
is a total of 256 messages for each error message level (panic, error, warning,
informational, and debug).
■ The System Error Log is implemented as a circular buffer. When more than
the maximum number of entries are added to the log file, old entries are
overwritten by new ones.
■ The errdump and errorshow commands display all the system error
messages.
Syslogd Daemon
Syslogd is a process that runs on UNIX or Linux systems that reads and logs
messages to the system console, log files, other machines, and users specified by
its configuration file. Refer to the manual pages and related documentation for
your particular UNIX host system for more information on the syslogd process
and its capabilities.
The Fabric OS can be configured to use a UNIX-style syslog daemon (syslogd)
process to read system events and error messages and forward these messages to
users and/or write the events to log files on a remote UNIX host system.
The SAN switch can be configured to send error log messages to a UNIX host
system that supports syslogd. This host system can be configured to receive error
and event messages from the switch and store them in files on the computer hard
drive. This enables the storage of switch error log messages on a host system and
overcomes the size limitations of the internal log buffers on the SAN switch.
The host system can be running UNIX, Linux, or any other operating system, as
long as it supports standard syslogd functionality. The Core switch or 2 Gb SAN
switch do not assume any particular operating system to be running on the host
system. The only requirement is that the host system must support standard
syslogd to receive error log messages from the StorageWorks Core switch or
StorageWorks 2 Gb SAN switch.
16 Diagnostic and System Error Messages Version 3.1.x Reference Guide
Port Logs
Introduction to System Error Messages
For information on configuring the syslogd functionality, refer to the HP
StorageWorks Fabric OS Procedures Guide.
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 log files that can
save up to 8000 entries per logical switch. When the log is full, new log entries
overwrite the oldest entries. Port Logs capture switch-to-device, device-to-switch,
some deviceA-to-deviceB, and control information. Port Logs are not persistent
and are lost over power cycles and reboots.
Use the portlogshow command to display the Port Logs for a particular port.
Refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Procedures Guide for information on
interpreting the output from the portlogdump command.
Note: The Port Log functionality is completely separate from the System Error Log
functionality. Typically, Port Logs are used to troubleshoot connection of devices.
s
System Console
The system console displays messages through the serial port. If you telnet into
the Ethernet port, you will not receive console messages. The system console
displays both system error messages and panic trace messages. These messages
are mirrored only to the system console and are always saved in one of the system
logs.
View or Configure System Logs
Tabl e 3 lists commands that are used to view or configure the error logs.

Introduction to System Error Messages
Reading a System Error Message
This section explains how to read system error messages. Typically, system error
messages are generated by the various modules in the Fabric OS. They are
dumped in the System Error Log and, depending on severity, may be saved to
memory or to flash memory.
Viewing System Error Messages from Advanced Web Tools
To view the System Error Log for a switch from Advanced Web Tools:
1. Launch Advanced Web Tools.
2. Select the desired switch from the Fabric Tree.
The Switch View appears.
3. Select the Switch Events button from the Switch View.
A Switch Events Report appears.
4. View the switch events and messages.
Displaying the Error Log without Page Breaks
To display the Switch Error Log without page breaks:
1. Log in to the switch as the admin user.
2. Enter the errdump command at the command line.
An error log, similar to that shown in Figure 1, displays.
