Error Messages
This appendix explains the error message format, error message by firmware module,
and other possible errors.
Error Message Formats
There is one error message format for the PowerVault 51F system whether you are
gathering information from the local RS-232 serial port or using a remote Telnet
session.
In all cases, the last error encountered is the first error displayed. Up to 32 messages
are held in a buffer. If the 32 message limit is exceeded, the messages are overwrit-
ten in a first in, first out sequence.
The
errShow
command displays all detected errors. The output provides additional
information over the front panel display. The following information is displayed in
Figure A-1:
•
There are two errors which have been detected.
•
The task ID and task name that incurred the error (task names are displayed
using the
i
command).
•
The error type, date and time, the error level, and description.
•
If there is more than one occurrence of an error type, the number of occurrences
is shown in brackets following the error level.
NOTE: The error counter goes to a maximum of 999.
The display halts after each error is displayed, prompting you to either press <Enter>
to continue or type a
Q
to quit. Continue pressing <Enter> until the prompt
=>
is
displayed.
