portLogClear

Clears the port log.

Synopsis portlogclear

Description Use this command to clear the port log. It is recommended that you clear the port log before triggering an activity

so that the log displays only the log events related to that activity.

If the port log is disabled, portLogClear enables it. The port log is disabled automatically when certain errors occur

to allow the collection of all the information needed to understand the cause of the error. When the port log is

disabled, the events already present in the log are preserved, but new events are not collected.

The following errors disable the port log:

• FCPH, EXCHBAD

• FCPH, EXCHFREE

• NBFSM, DUPEPORTSCN

• UCAST, RELICPDB

Refer to the Fabric OS Message Reference for more information on these errors.

Notes The execution of this command is subject to Virtual Fabric restrictions that may be in place. Refer to "Using Fabric

OS Commands" and "Command Availability" for details.

Operands None
