B Emu-Generated Condition Reports; Condition Report Format - HP StorageWorks 6100 - Enterprise Virtual Array User Manual

B EMU-generated condition reports

This section provides a description of the EMU generated condition reports that contain the following
information:
• Element type (et), a hexadecimal number in the range 01 through FF.
• Element number (en), a decimal number in the range 00 through 99 that identifies the specific
element with a problem.
• Error code (ec), a decimal number in the range 00 through 99 that defines a specific problem.
• The recommended corrective action.
NOTE:
The conventions used to differentiate between the elements of the condition report are:
• Element type—period after each character
• Element number—period after the second character
• Error code—no periods
The EMU can send error messages to the controller for transmission to HP Command View EVA. The
messages displayed are specific to HP Command View EVA and are not within the scope of this
publication.
The I/O modules have the built-in intelligence to:
• Observe fibre channel events
• Bypass drive ports based on events
• Perform drive port testing and monitoring to prevent poor-performing drives from participating in
the loop
• Communicate fibre channel events to the controllers
This appendix explains the condition report format, correcting problems, and how to identify element
types. The error codes are arranged in element type sequence (that is, 0.1., 0.2., 0.3., etc.).

Condition report format

When the EMU alphanumeric display is Er, three additional displays identify the possible cause of
the problem: the element type, the specific element, and the error code, which defines the possible
cause of the problem.
• The first-level display identifies the type of element affected with two alphanumeric characters
separated by periods such as 0.1., 0.2., 1.3., F.F., and so forth. A disk drive problem would
display an element type number of 0.1.
• The second-level display identifies the element affected with a two-digit, decimal number followed
by a period. For example, when a
a display of 14. indicates a
bay
bay 14 problem.
