Using the System Log
The System Log (different from the Element Manager Message Log)
contains errors or warning states encountered at the SAN Router.
This could include ports going up and down, mSNS unable to zone, a
SAN Router task failing, and so on. The System Log information will
be routinely requested by Technical Support whenever you report a
problem.
The Message Log is contained in Element Manager whereas the
System Log is contained in the SAN Router.
Periodically, you should retrieve the System Log to preserve a copy,
and then empty the contents. The System Log has a fixed size. New
entries are written to the beginning of the log overwriting the oldest
entries.
To retrieve and clear the system log, refer to Retrieving and Clearing
the System Log on page 7-14.
Ping
The Element Manager provides options for checking remote
connections through ping utility from the SAN Router.
To set up the ping network utility, follow these steps:
1. Select Statistics/Info>Ping to display the Network Utilities dialog
box (
Figure 6-13). You can use this to ping from the management
port or iFCP/iSCSI ports.
