Description
AG Access Gateway (AG) allows multiple hosts (or HBAs) to access the fabric using fewer physical ports.
Access Gateway mode transforms the Brocade switches as well as embedded switches into a device
management tool that is compatible with different types of fabrics, including Brocade-, Cisco-, and
McDATA-based fabrics.
AN Error or warning messages from the Bottleneck Detection module, including notification of detected
bottlenecks.
ANV ANV error messages indicate problems with the driver that deal with the ENET application-specific
integrated circuits (ASICs) on the Fabric OS. They can be software- or hardware-related errors.
AUTH Authentication error messages indicate problems with the authentication module of the Fabric OS.
BKSW BKSW messages are generated by the Fabric OS blade kernel software watchdog module.
BL BL error messages are a result of faulty hardware, transient out-of-memory conditions, ASIC errors,
or inconsistencies in the software state between a blade and the environment monitor (EM) module.
BLL Bloom is the name of the ASIC used as the building block for third-generation hardware platforms.
BLS Fibre Channel over IP port configuration message over the Brocade 7800 and FX8-24 blade.
BM Blade management error messages are a result of autoleveling firmware upgrades performed by the
control processor (CP).
C2 Condor2 error messages indicate problems with the Condor2 ASIC driver module of the Fabric OS.
C3 Condor3 error messages indicate problems with the Condor3 ASIC driver module of the Fabric OS.
CAL Common Access Layer (CAL) provides XML interface for configuring switch parameters in an object
model.
CCFG CCFG error messages indicate problems with the Converged Enhanced Ethernet (CEE) configuration
module of the Fabric OS.
CDR Condor ASIC driver error messages.
CER This is the core edge routing module on the Brocade director platforms.
CHASSIS Error messages reporting the problems in the management of the blades in the different slots of the
chassis.
CNM Cluster Node Manager (CNM) is a software daemon module of the Fabric OS. The messages from
CNM are problems encountered by CNM, warnings, or information to the user of events.
CONF Status messages for configUpload and configDownload operations.
CTAP A user-space daemon that forwards non-performance-critical messages from the TAPE driver to the
Crypto Virtual LUN Controller (CVLC) and Security Processor (SP), and vice versa. This module also
maintains a cache of recently acquired keys, reducing requests to the key vault itself.
CVLC Crypto Virtual LUN Controller (CVLC) is a software module running on blade FOS (BFOS). The
messages of CVLC are problems encountered by CVLC, warnings to alert the user, or information to
the user.
CVLM Crypto Virtual LUN Manager (CVLM) is a software module of the Fabric OS. The messages of CVLM
are problems encountered by CVLM, warnings to alert the user, or information to the user.
