Configuration and Monitoring Features
ALARM – Indicates that a serious problem has occurred which degrades
capacity or service. If the error is recoverable, the user should correct the
failure. If the alarm/failure persists, the user should reboot the system at a
convenient time. If the problem is still not cleared, the user should contact
the supplier.
WARNING – Indicates that a recoverable problem has occurred. The user
does not need to take action.
PARTIAL – When more information is available, Partial causes additional
message-related details to be displayed.
CONFIGURATION – An informational message indicating changes that a
user has made to the system configuration. The user does not need to take
any action.
INFO – Informational messages that occur during a system or component
boot. The user does not need to take any action.
PERIODIC – An informational message containing periodic statistics. The
user does not need to take action.
NOTICE – Notice is used for failures that could be a result of "frequent" user
actions, such as a server reboot.
Debug message levels 1 through 5:
and/or QLogic engineering use and are not necessarily indicative of actions that
an end user may need to take.
DEBUG1 – Messages that describe the states of connections and links.
DEBUG2 – Messages that describe major configuration changes or
operations.
DEBUG3 – Messages that describe the I/O flow.
DEBUG4 – Messages that contain the packet dumps within an I/O flow. I/O

Important: When configuring the log levels to display debug messages, care
should be taken to ensure that system performance issues are weighed against
troubleshooting requirements. Generally, the higher the debug number the more
information is written to the log. Specifically, debug 3-5 have the most effect on
system performance.
