Introduction to System Error Messages If you have any questions, collect the applicable data and then contact technical support for further clarification. Telephone numbers for worldwide technical support are listed on the HP website: http://www.hp.com/support/. From this website, select the country of origin. The severity levels are specified in Table 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.
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.
Introduction to System Error Messages For information on configuring the syslogd functionality, refer to the HP StorageWorks Fabric OS Procedures Guide. 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 log files that can save up to 8000 entries per logical switch.

System Error Messages ZONE_System Error Messages A zone in a fabric is a set of devices that have access to one another. All devices connected to a fabric may be configured into one or more zones. Every zone has at least one member.
ZONE_System Error Messages ZONE-ENFORCEMIX Message <switch number> Warning ZONE-ENFORCEMIX, 3, WARNING - HARD & SOFT zones(%s, %s) definition overlap. Probable Cause A port is zoned with mixed devices (WWN and Domain, Port). During zoning database cross checking, one of the following is detected: A port zone member is also listed as a member of a MIXED zone.
System Error Messages ZONE-INCORRECT_FA_CONFIG Message <switch number> Error ZONE-INCORRECT_FA_CONFIG, 2, FA Zone <zone name> missing correct number of Initiator and Target devices Probable Cause The Fabric Assist (FA) zoning configuration has more than one initiator. The probable cause is incorrect entries in the FA zoning configuration. Recommended Action Edit the zoning database.
ZONE_System Error Messages ZONE-INSUFF_PID_COUNT Message <switch number> Error ZONE-INSUFF_PID_COUNT, 2, WWN (%s) converted into more than 64 PIDs. Total: (%d) Probable Cause The FabOS detected a device that contains more than 64 PIDs for a single-node WWN; the detected device is zoned as a node WWN. Four is the current limit set for a multiple-port device when using node WWN for zoning.
ZONE_System Error Messages ZONE-SOFTZONING Message <switch number> Warning ZONE-SOFTZONING, 3, WARNING - port <port number> zoning enforcement changed to SOFT Probable Cause This is a general message that suggests the hardware-enforced zoning at the specified port has been turned off due to some exception condition. Port zoning enforcement has been changed to SOFT.
System Error Messages ZONE-TRANSCOMMIT Message <switch number> Error ZONE-TRANSCOMMIT, 2, Transaction Commit failed. Reason code <reason code> Probable Cause Request Common Transport (RCT) transmit error. Fibre Channel services share a common transport (CT) at the FC4 level. The CT provides access to services; in this case, to Directory Service, where the zoning information is stored and retrieved.
ZONE_System Error Messages Severity Warning ZONE-WWNSPOOF Message <switch number> Error ZONE-WWNSPOOF, 2, WWN spoofing at (d,p)=(%d,%d) PortWWN <WWN number> NodeWWN (%s,%s) Probable Cause An unauthorized device is accessing the fabric. Zoning detected a discrepancy between the frame and the information that the device registered with the Name Server during PLOGI/ADISC/DISC trap processing.
System Error Messages Recommended Action Copy the error message and then contact Technical Support. Severity Error ZONE-ZONEGROUPADDFAIL Message <switch number> Warning ZONE-ZONEGROUPADDFAIL, 3, WARNING - port <port number> Out of CAM entries Probable Cause The total number of entries of SID CAM for the quad exceeded 64 while creating or adding a zone group.
Error Message Tables This appendix provides several lists of the error messages that are described in detail in Chapter 2. A complete alphabetical list in Table 5 is followed by lists of each severity level in Table 6 through Table 11.
Error Message Tables Table 5: Alphabetical List of Messages (Continued) Message Severity ZONE-TRANSCOMMIT 2 Error ZONE-WWNINPORT 3 Warning ZONE-WWNSPOOF 2 Error ZONE-WWNZONECHECK 2 Error ZONE-ZONEGROUPADDFAIL 3 Warning Panic-Level Messages Table 6 lists the Panic-level error messages. 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.
Error Message Tables Table 7: Critical-Level Error Messages Message BLOOM-RAMINIT_TO FABRIC-SIZE_EXCEEDED FABRIC-WEBTOOL_DISABLE FABRIC-WEBTOOL_LIFE FCIU-IUCOUNT FCPH-EXCHBAD LSDB-NOLOCALENTRY MQ-QREAD MQ-QWRITE Error-Level Messages Error-level messages indicate conditions that may not be fatal. These messages are considered less severe than Panic or Critical 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.
Error Message Tables Warning-Level Messages 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. Table 9 lists the Warning-level error messages.
Error Message Tables Informational-Level Messages Information-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. Table 10 lists the informational messages.

Table 11 lists the debug messages.
