• 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: A message describing the number of changes the subnet manager
(SM) detected on the last subnet sweep. This message includes totals for the
number of switches, host channel adapters, end-ports, total physical ports
and SMs that have appeared or disappeared from the fabric. This message
will only be logged at the end of a subnet sweep if the SM had detected
changes.
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.
