Repair Information
• New Status - the status of the switch after to the reported status
change (Operational, Degraded, Failed, or Unknown).
EFC Fabric Log
The log reflects the time and nature of changes made to a managed
fabric (switch added or removed, ISL added or removed, fabric
renamed or persisted, or zone set activated).
To display the Fabric Log, choose Fabric Log from the Logs menu.
•The Date/Time column displays the date and time of the change in
the fabric.
•The Fabric Status Changed column displays the type of change in
the fabric (for example, a switch was added or removed, an ISL
was added or removed, the fabric was renamed or persisted, or a
zone set became active).
•The Description column displays a description of the change in the
fabric.
EFC Product
Manager Audit Log
The Sphereon 3032/3232 Audit Log displays a history of all
configuration changes made to a switch from the Product Manager
application or a simple network management protocol (SNMP)
management workstation. This information is useful for system
administrators and users. To open the Audit Log from the Hardware
View, Port List View, or Performance View, select Audit Log from the Logs
menu on the navigation control panel.
For a description of the Audit Log and an explanation of button
functions at the bottom of the log window, refer to the McDATA
Sphereon 3032 and 3232 Switch Product Manager User Manual
(620-000152).

Event Log
The Sphereon 3032/3232 Event Log (Figure 4-3) displays a history of
events for the switch, such as system events, degraded operation,
FRU failures, FRU removals and replacements, port problems, Fibre
Channel link incidents, and EFC Server-to-switch communication
problems. All detected software and hardware failures are recorded
in the Event Log. The information is useful to maintenance personnel
for fault isolation and repair verification.
To open the Event Log, select Event Log from the Logs menu on the
navigation control panel
