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
display is 06.; a display of 14. indicates a
The third-level display identifies a specific problem, the error code with a two-digit, decimal
number. For example, should the problem be either the installation of an incorrectly configured
drive or one that cannot operate at the loop link rate, the display is 01.

Correcting errors

Correcting an error may require you to perform a specific set of actions. In some cases, the only
available corrective action is to replace the element.
