HP StorageWorks Multi-protocol Router Installation Guide (A7437-96003, September 2005)

Monitoring the MP Router64
Viewing the port log
XPath OS maintains an internal log of all port activity. The port log stores entries for each port as a
circular buffer. Each port has space to store 2,048 log entries. Once the log is full, the newest log
entries overwrite the oldest log entries. Port logs are not persistent and are lost over power-cycles
and reboots. If the port log is disabled, an error message is displayed.
Use the commands described in Table 20 to view and manage port logs.
See the
HP StorageWorks XPath OS 7.4.x command reference guide for detailed information on these
commands.
Use these steps to view the port log.
1. Log in to the MP Router as admin.
2. Enter the portlogshow command.
