Error Messages: Dell™ PowerVault™ 50F 8-Port Fibre Channel Switch Installation and Troubleshooting Guide
file:///C|/Users/sharon_anand/Desktop/PowerVault/50f_enit/ERROR.HTM[3/15/2013 11:32:10 AM]
This module includes errors that cause a system panic to occur. A system panic causes the switch to reboot.
The PANIC error is stored in flash memory with a stack trace, local stack content and local register content at
the time the error occurred.
To view the trace, allow the switch to reboot and issue the traceShow command. If the trace was caused by
a PANIC error, the first line displays:
Reset reasons 0x100: Panic
PANIC errors have the highest severity (0).
NOTE: Use the traceShow command to identify PANIC errors as the errShow command is not useful in this case.

MQ-QWRITE Error
The software includes several message queues that are used for inter-task communication. Each queue
holds a maximum of 64 messages. Under normal operations, a task sends a message to another task on a
queue, and occupies a slot in the queue. After the message is received, its slot in the queue is open for
