HP StorageWorks 2/32 - SAN Switch Release Note page 37

Fabric OS Commands
includes the display of errors/ events recorded in the persistent error log during
previous run time cycles and the display of error/event messages logged in the
current run time cycle.
This command also provides options to display ONLY those error log messages
that are saved in the persistent log and to display ONLY those messages that are
logged during the current run time cycle. All important error log messages,
regardless of their message severity level, are stored in a persistent storage as they
are logged. Both the persistent error log and the run time log are limited in space
and managed as circular buffers. When either log overflows, old entries are
replaced by new entries.
The persistent error log is saved across system reboots and power cycles and can
be resized at run time. When this command is executed from the Standby CP, the
switch instance number operand is required. The switch instance number is
supplied by specifying the <-s swinst> operand.
This operand is not required when logged into the Active CP.
Operands
This command has the following operands:
p - Display messages from the persistent error log.
a - Display messages from the active error log. This displays error log messages
generated during the current run time cycle.
s swinst - this is an optional parameter to specify a switch instance number.
This parameter is required on the Standby CP. This parameter should not be used
on the Active CP.
You must follow -s with the switch instance number where the command is to be
executed. Valid values for switchinstance are 0 (for the switch instance associated
with slots 1 though 4) or 1 (for the switch instance associated with slots 6 though
10).
