BLL Bloom is the name of the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) used as the building block for
third-generation hardware platforms.
BLS Fibre Channel over IP port configuration message over Brocade 7800 and FX8-24 blade.
BM Blade management error messages are a result of autoleveling firmware upgrades performed by the
control processor (CP).
C2 Condor2 error messages indicate problems with the Condor2 ASIC driver module of the Fabric OS.
C3 Condor3 error messages indicate problems with the Condor3 ASIC driver module of the Fabric OS.
CAL Common Access Layer (CAL) provides XML interface for configuring switch parameters in an object
model.
CDR Condor application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) driver error messages.
CEE
CONFIG
CEEConfig error messages indicate problems with the Converged Enhanced Ethernet Configuration
module of the Fabric OS.
CER This is the core edge routing module on the Brocade director platforms.
CHASSIS Error messages reporting the problems in the management of the blades in the different slots of the
chassis.
CNM Cluster Node Manager (CNM) is a software daemon module of the Fabric OS. The messages from
CNM are problems encountered by CNM, warnings, or information to inform the user of events.
CONF Status messages for configUpload and configDownload operations.
CTAP A user-space daemon that forwards non-performance-critical messages from the TAPE driver to the
CVLC and Security Processor (SP), and vice versa. This module also maintains a cache of recently
acquired keys, reducing requests to the key vault itself.
CVLC Crypto Virtual LUN Controller (CVLC) is a software module running on BFOS. The messages of CVLC
are problems encountered by CVLC, warnings to alert the user, or information to the user.
CVLM Crypto Virtual LUN Manager (CVLM) is a software module of the Fabric OS. The messages of CVLM
are problems encountered by CVLM, warnings to alert the user, or information to the user.
DAUTH DAUTH error messages indicate problems with the 802.1x authentication module of the Fabric OS.
EM The environmental monitor (EM) manages and monitors the various field-replaceable units (FRUs),
including the port cards, control processor (CP) blades, blower assemblies, power supplies, and
World Wide Name (WWN) cards. EM controls the state of the FRUs during system startup, hot-plug
sequences, and fault recovery.
EM provides access to and monitors the sensor and status data from the FRUs and maintains the
integrity of the system using the environmental and power policies. EM reflects system status by way
of CLI commands, system light emitting diodes (LEDs), and status and alarm messages. EM also
manages some component-related data.
ESS Exchange Switch Support (ESS) error messages indicate problems with the ESS module of the Fabric
OS. ESS is an SW_ILS mechanism utilized by switches to exchange vendor and support information.
ESWCH ESWCH error messages indicate problems with the Ethernet switch module of Fabric OS.
EVMD This is the event management module.
FABR FABRIC refers to a network of Fibre Channel switches. The FABRIC error messages come from the
fabric daemon. The fabric daemon follows the FC-SW-3 standard for the fabric initialization process,
such as determining the E_Ports, assigning unique domain IDs to switches, creating a spanning tree,
throttling the trunking process, and distributing the domain and alias lists to all switches in the fabric.
FABS Fabric OS system driver module.
