Synopsis errshow [-a | -r | -t | -o]
Description Use this command to display external error log messages one at a time. When executed without operands, this
command prints the error messages for the logical switch context in which the command is executed. When used
with the -a option, the command prints the error messages for the entire chassis. The messages are displayed with
page breaks. The -r operand displays the messages in reversed order.
The output of this command is unique for each Control Processor (CP). On dual CPs this command must be
executed on each CP to obtain a complete record.
Specify both -t and -o operands to display messages within a time period. Specify the -t operand alone to display
messages from a specific time to the end of the log. Specify the -o operand alone to display messages from the
beginning of the log to the specified time.
