Events and Event Logging

Messages originate from the switch or from the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 application in response to events that occur in the fabric.

2.1

Understanding Severity Levels

Events are classified by the following severity levels:  Alarm – The alarm level describes events that are disruptive to the

administration or operation of a fabric and require administrator intervention. Alarms are always logged and always displayed on the screen. Alarm thresholds can be defined for certain port errors to customize when to generate an alarm.

 Critical – The critical level describes events that are generally disruptive to

the administration or operation of the fabric, but require no action.

 Warning – The warning level describes events that are generally not

disruptive to the administration or operation of the fabric, but are more important than the informative level events.

Section 2

 Informative – The informative level describes routine events associated with

a normal fabric.

2.2

Displaying Events using the Event Browser

Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 provides an Event Browser, which displays events from the switch event log and events that are generated by Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 itself. The Event Browser formats events by severity, timestamp, source, type, and description. Events read from the switch event log obtain the timestamp from the switch clock, while events generated by Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 use the workstation clock.

The Event Browser can maintain a maximum of 1500 event s . Once the maximum is reached, the oldest events are discarded and replaced with new events. To display the Event Browser, open the Fabric menu and select Show Event Browser, or click the Events button on the tool bar. When you close Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, all events in the Event Browser are lost. To save events to file before closing Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, open the File menu from the Event Browser window and select Save As. For more information about the Event Browser, refer to the Switch Management User’s Guide for your switch.

59060-02 B 2-1

2 – Events and Event Logging Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface

2.3

Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Int erface

When you log into a switch through Telnet, the command line interface automatically displays the alarm history. You can use the Show Alarm or Show Log command to display the alarm history at any time. New alarm messages are displayed in the command stream as they occur . Re fer to the Installa tion Guide for your switch for more information about the Show Log command.

In the command line interface, each message has the following format:

[ordinal][time_stamp][severity][source][message_ID][message_text]

[ordinal] – A number assigned to each message in sequence since that last

time the alarm history was cleared. [time_stamp] – The time the alarm was issued in the format

day-month-hh:mm:ss:ms-yyyy. This time stamp comes from the switch for events that originate with the switch, and from the workstation for events that originate from Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007.

[severity] – The event severity: A–Alarm, C–Critical, W–Warning, I–Informative.

[source] – The program module or application that generated the event. Sources include Zoning, Switch, PortApp, EPort, Management Server. Alarms do not include the source.

[message_ID] – A number that identifies the message using the following format: category.message_number

[message_text] – The alarm message text Consider the following Informative level event example from the Switch source:

[1][Wed May 26 12:30:29.965 UTC 2004][I][8400.0022][Switch][Successful login user (snmp@IB-session6) with admin privilege]

2-2 59060-02 B

2.4

Configuring the Event Log

Y ou can customize what events that are recorded in the switch event log using the Set Log command. With the Set Log command, you can filter the events to be recorded by component, specific ports, and severity level. You can choose from the following component events:

 E_Port events  Management server events  Name server events  Port events  Switch management events  Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) events  Zoning events

Refer to the Command Line Interface Guide for your switch for more information about the Set Log command.

2 – Events and Event Logging

Configuring the Event Log

2.5

Archiving and Downloading the Event Log

Y ou can use the command line interface to create a file on the switch that cont ains the most recent 200 entries plus the previous 1000 entries. This file can then be downloaded to the workstation using FTP. To create and download a log file, do the following:

1. Log into the switch through Telnet and create an archive of the event log. The Set Log Archive command creates a file on the switch named logfile.

SANbox #> admin start SANbox (admin) #> set log archive

2. Open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name images and password images. Transfer the file logfile in binary mode with the Get command.

>ftp ip_address user:images password: images

ftp>bin ftp>get logfile xxxxx bytes sent in xx secs. ftp>quit

59060-02 B 2-3

2 – Events and Event Logging Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds

2.6

Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds

You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events. Configuring an alarm involves choosing an event type, rising and falling triggers, a sample window, and finally enabling or disabling the alarm. You can configure port alarm thresholds for the following port events using the Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 or the command line interface:

 CRC errors  Decode errors  ISL connections  Device logins  Device logouts  Loss-of-signal errors

To configure port threshold alarms using Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007, open the Switch menu in the faceplate display, and select Port Threshold Alarm Configuration. The Port Threshold Alarm Configuration dialog shown in prompts you to enable or disable all alarms, select an event, set triggers, set a sample window and enable or disable an individual alarm. Refer to the Switch Management User’s Guide for your switch for more information about port threshold alarms.

To configure port threshold alarms using the command line interface, use the Set Config Threshold command. Refer to the Installation Guide for your switch for more information about the command line interface and the Set Config command.

2-4 59060-02 B

This section lists event messages from the command line interface and Enterprise Fabric Suite 2007 in message ID sequence by the following severity levels:

 Alarm Events  Critical Events  Warning Events  Informative Events

You can look up a message by its message ID or by searching for the message text. If the message you are looking for does not appear in this section, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
