Error Description
Reading a RAS System Message
Description
The message module and number. These values uniquely identify
each message in the Fabric OS and reference the cause and
actions recommended in this manual. Note that not all message
numbers are used; there can be gaps in the numeric message
sequence.
The error message position in the log. When a new message is
added to the log, this number is incremented by 1. When this
message reaches the last position in the error log and becomes
the oldest message in the log, it is deleted when a new message is
added.
The message sequence number starts at 1 after a
firmwareDownload and will increase up to a value of
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.
For most messages, this field contains a space character (null
value) indicating that the message is neither an AUDIT or FFDC
message. Messages may contain the following values:
AUDIT indicates that this message is for a security issue.
FFDC indicates that additional first failure data capture
information has also been generated for this event.
FID is the Fabric ID that can range from 0 to 128. FID 128 means
the message was generated by the default switch instance.
CHASSIS is the message that was generated by the chassis
instance.
SLOT number indicates the message was generated from slot #
blade main CPU.
SLOT #/1 indicates the message was generated from slot # blade
Co-CPU.
AUDIT:FFDC indicates that the message is for a security issue and
additional FFDC information has been generated.
The severity of the error:
1 = Critical
2 = Error
3 = Warning
4 = Info
The defined switch name or the chassis name of the switch. This
value is truncated if it exceeds 16 characters in length. Run either
the chassisName command to name the chassis or the
switchName command to rename the logical switch.
