Syslog messages for PCI (hardware) errors
Static and dynamic buffers
The software provides two separate buffers:
•
Static - logs power supply failures, fan failures, and temperature warning or shutdown messages
•
Dynamic - logs all other message types
In the static log, new messages replace older ones, so only the most recent message is displayed. For example, only the most recent
temperature warning message will be present in the log. If multiple temperature warning messages were sent to the log, the latest one will
replace the previous one. The static buffer is not configurable.
The message types that appear in the static buffer do not appear in the dynamic buffer. The dynamic buffer contains up to the maximum
number of messages configured for the buffer (50 by default), then begins removing the oldest messages (at the bottom of the log) to
make room for new ones.
The static and dynamic buffers are both displayed when you display the log.
device(config)# show logging
...
Static Log Buffer:
Aug 27 12:42:42:A:Power Supply 6, 1st right, failed
Dynamic Log Buffer (50 lines):
Aug 27 12:19:04:I:Interface ethernet3/4, state up
Aug 27 12:19:04:I:Interface ethernet6/3, state up
Aug 27 12:19:04:I:Interface ethernet3/2, state up
Aug 27 12:19:04:I:Interface ethernet6/1, state up
Aug 27 12:19:00:N:Module up in slot 6
Aug 27 12:19:00:N:Module up in slot 3
Aug 27 12:18:43:I:Warm start
When you clear log entries, you can selectively clear the static or dynamic buffer, or you can clear both. For example, to clear only the
dynamic buffer, enter the following command at the Privileged EXEC level.
device# clear logging dynamic-buffer
Syntax: clear logging [ dynamic-buffer | static-buffer ]
You can specify the dynamic-buffer keyword to clear the dynamic buffer or the static-buffer keyword to clear the static buffer. If you do
not specify a buffer, both buffers are cleared.
Syntax: show log
Syslog messages for PCI (hardware) errors
FastIron Chassis devices support the display of PCI (hardware) read and write errors encountered on a slot or module during bootup and
during normal system operations. There are four types of PCI errors, which may cause the system to disable or power down the module
or modules on which they occur:
•
Configuration read error
•
Configuration write error
•
Memory read error
•
Memory write error
For more information, refer to the "Using Syslog" chapter in the FastIron Ethernet Switch Administration Guide.
