[EM-1031] Message Module

and Message

Number

The message module and number. These values uniquely identify

each message in the Fabric OS and reference the cause and

actions recommended in this manual. Note that not all message

numbers are used; there can be gaps in the numeric message

sequence.

4 Sequence Number The error message position in the log. When a new message is

added to the log, this number is incremented by 1. When this

message reaches the last position in the error log and becomes

the oldest message in the log, it is deleted when a new message is

added.

The message sequence number starts at 1 after a

firmwareDownload and will increase up to a value of

2,147,483,647 (0x7ffffff).

The sequence number will continue to increase beyond the

storage limit of 1024 messages. The sequence number can be

reset to 1 using the errClear command. The sequence number is

persistent across power cycles and switch reboots.
