Section 1 Introduction This manual describes the alarm messages for the SANbox 3050 Fibre Channel switch using firmware version 4.0: This manual is organized as follows: Section 1 describes the intended audience, related materials, and technical support. Section 2 describes event logging concepts including definitions, how to configure the event log, how to display the event log, and how to download the event log from the switch.
0 1 – Introduction Technical Support 1.3 Technical Support Customers should contact their authorized maintenance provider for technical support of their QLogic switch products. QLogic-direct customers may contact QLogic Technical Support; others will be redirected to their authorized maintenance provider. Visit the QLogic support Web site listed in Contact Information for the latest firmware and software updates. 1.3.
Section 2 Events and Event Logging Messages originate from the switch or from the SANbox Manager application in response to events that occur in the fabric. 2.1 Understanding Severity Levels Events are classified by the following severity levels: Alarm – The alarm level describes events that are disruptive to the administration or operation of a fabric and require administrator intervention. Alarms are always logged and always displayed on the screen.
0 2 – Events and Event Logging Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface 2.3 Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface When you log into a switch through Telnet, the command line interface automatically displays the alarm history. You can use the Show Alarm or Show Log command to display the alarm history at any time. New alarm messages are displayed in the command stream as they occur.
0 2 – Events and Event Logging Configuring the Event Log 2.4 Configuring the Event Log You can customize what events that are recorded in the switch event log using the Set Log command. With the Set Log command, you can filter the events to be recorded by component, specific ports, and severity level.
2 – Events and Event Logging Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds 0 2.6 Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events. Configuring an alarm involves choosing an event type, rising and falling triggers, a sample window, and finally enabling or disabling the alarm.
Section 3 Event Messages This section lists event messages from the command line interface and SANbox Manager in message ID sequence by the following severity levels: Alarm Events Critical Events Warning Events Informative Events You can look up a message by its message ID or by searching for the message text. If the message you are looking for does not appear in this section, contact your authorized maintenance provider.
