Configuration and Monitoring Features

2-18 D000003-016 Rev. A

The following list describes each of the Log Level configuration parameters.

• DUMP – Dump: Indicates that a problem has caused the system to produce

a system dump file. In most circumstances, it is recommended that the user

retrieve the dump that was produced. Support engineers may require the

information contained in the dump file to diagnose the cause of the problem.

• FATAL – Indicates that a non-recoverable system problem has occurred. The

user should reboot the system or component and verify that the subsystem

is fully functional to determine whether the fault has been corrected. If the

problem persists, the user should contact the supplier.

• ERROR – Indicates that a serious system error has occurred which might be

recoverable. If the system exhibits any instability, the user should reboot the

system or component. If errors persist, the user should immediately contact

the supplier's technical support.

• ALARM - Indicates that a serious problem has occurred which degrades

capacity or service. If the error is recoverable, the user should correct the

failure. If the alarm/failure persists, the user should reboot the system at a

convenient time. If the problem is still not cleared, the user should contact the

supplier.

• WARNING - Indicates that a recoverable problem has occurred. The user

does not need to take action.

• PARTIAL - When more information is available, Partial causes additional

message-related details to be displayed.

• CONFIGURATION - An informational message indicating changes that a user

has made to the system configuration. The user does not need to take any

action.

• INFO: Informational messages that occur during a system or component boot.

The user does not need to take any action.

• PERIODIC: An informational message containing periodic statistics. The user

does not need to take action.

• NOTICE: Notice is used for failures that could be a result of “frequent” user

actions, such as a server reboot.

Debug message levels 1 through 5: Debug messages are for supplier and/or

QLogic engineering use and are not necessarily indicative of actions that an end

user may need to take.

• DEBUG1 – Messages that describe the states of connections and links.

• DEBUG2 – Messages that describe major configuration changes or

operations.

• DEBUG3 – Messages that describe the I/O flow.
