System message log

The system message log, or RASLog, feature enables messages to be saved across power cycles
and reboots.
The Brocade DCX, DCX 8510 family, and DCX-4S enterprise-class platforms maintain the same
RASlog for each of the two CP blades. Since all RASlog messages are routed to the Active CP, the
message CPU ID is added as part of the RASlog message attribute. RASlog message attribute SLOT
is defined to identify the CPU that generated the message.
For example, in the following message the identifier SLOT 6 means the message was generated
from the slot 6 blade main CPU:
and the identifier SLOT 6/1 means the message was generated from slot 6 blade Co-CPU.
Since RASlog supports Virtual Fabrics and logical switches, the FID (Fabric ID) displays on every
RASlog message to identify the source of the logical switch that generates the message.
The FID can be a number from 0 to 128, and the identifier CHASSIS depends on the instance that
generates the message and that it was generated by a chassis instance. The identifier FID 128
means the message was generated by the default switch instance.
For details on error messages, refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference.
