Description
AG Access Gateway 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 ASICs on the Fabric OS.
They could be either software or hardware-related errors.
AUTH Authentication error messages indicate problems with the authentication module of the Fabric OS.
BKSW Messages generated by the Blade Fabric OS kernel software watch dog module.
BL Blade error messages are a result of faulty hardware, transient out-of-memory conditions, application
specific integrated circuit (ASIC) errors, or inconsistencies in the software state between a blade and
the EM (environment monitor) module.
BLL Bloom is the name of the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) used as the building block for
third-generation hardware platforms.
BLS Fibre Channel over IP port configuration message over Spike and Striker 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.
CDR Condor application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) driver error messages.
CEE
CONFIG
CEEConfig error messages indicate problems with the Converged Enhanced Ethernet Configuration
module of the Fabric OS.
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 CNM (Cluster Node Manager ) is a software daemon module of the Fabric OS. The messages from
CNM are either problems encountered by CNM, warnings or information to inform 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
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 CVLC (Crypto Virtual LUN Controller) is a software module running on BFOS. The messages of CVLC
are either problems encountered by CVLC, warnings to alert user, or informative to user.
CVLM CVLM (Crypto Virtual LUN Manager) is a software module of the Fabric OS. The messages of CVLM are
either problems encountered by CVLM, warnings to alert the user, or informative to the user.
DAUTH DAUTH error messages indicate problems with the 802.1x authentication module of the Fabric OS.
