Fabric OS Commands
34 SAN switch 2/32 Version 4.0.2b Release Notes
■ Implemented as a circular buffer. When more than maximum entries are
added to the persistent log, old entries are over-written by new entries.
■ All error messages of levels Panic and Critical are automatically saved in the
persistent log.
■ Guarantees that critical or panic level messages are not lost in the event of
unexpected system reboot or failover.
errdump and errShow Commands
The commands errdump or errShow display a superset of the persistent log
messages saved during previous system run time cycles and the error log
messages generated during the current run time cycle.
Options are provided to errDump command to display three options: all the
errors (previous persistent log and the current run time log), only errors from the
current run time cycle, or the errors from the persistent error log. Options are
provided to clear the persistent error log. (errClear -p).
With the addition of a persistent log, the errdump and errshow commands
display output of both the persistent error log and the volatile error log (RAM).
However, the output shown by SNMP and Web Tools only displays the last 256
entries of the volatile log information.
Modified Error Log Commands
There are three modified, and four new Fabric OS commands implemented for the
persistent error logging functionality. The following commands were modified:
errDump Command

Description

to type return between each log entry.
