Clearing the system error log
1. Log in as admin.
2. Issue the errClear command:
Port log
View this log using the portLogShow command. The port log displays port events, such as port down,
link events, and fabric segmentations. Events from this log are for information only.
The XPath OS maintains an internal port log of all port activity. The port log stores entries for each port as
a circular buffer. Each port has space to store 2048 log entries. If the port log is disabled, an error
message is displayed. Once the log is full, the newest log entries overwrite the oldest log entries. Port logs
are not persistent and are lost over power-cycles and reboots.
Port log management
Use the commands in Table 14 to view and manage port logs.
