System Module Descriptions 1 System Module Descriptions Table 1-4 provides a summary of the system modules for which messages are documented in this reference guide; the system modules are listed alphabetically by name. Table 1-4 System Module Descriptions System Description Module AUTH Authentication error messages indicate problems with the authentication module of the Fabric OS. BL Blade 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 EM (environment monitor) module. BLL Bloom is the name of the ASIC used as the building block for third-generation hardware platforms. BM Blade management error messages are a result of autoleveling firmware upgrades performed by the CP. CDR Condor ASCI driver error messages. CER This is the core edge routing module on the SilkWorm director platforms. CONF Status messages for configUpload and configDownload operations. EM The environmental monitor (EM) manages and monitors the various FRUs (field replaceable units), including the port cards, CP blades, blower assemblies, power supplies, and WWN (World Wide Name) cards. EM controls the state of the FRUs during system startup, hot-plug sequences, and fault recovery. EM provides access to and monitors the sensor and status data from the FRUs and maintains the integrity of the system using the environmental and power policies. EM reflects system status by way of telnet commands, system LEDs, and status and alarm messages. EM also manages some component-related data. EVMD This is the event management module. FABR FABRIC refers to a network of Fibre Channel switches. The FABRIC error messages come from the fabric daemon. The fabric daemon follows the FC-SW-3 standard for the fabric initialization process, such as determining the E_Ports, assigning unique domain IDs to switches, creating a spanning tree, throttling the trunking process, and distributing the domain and alias lists to all switches in the fabric. FABS Fabric OS system driver module. FBC Firmware blade compatibility errors with CP. FCIP Fibre Channel over IP port configuration messages. FCMC Fibre Channel miscellaneous messages relate to problems with the physical layer used to send Fibre Channel traffic to and from the switch. FCPD The Fibre Channel Protocol daemon is responsible for probing the devices attached to the loop port. Probing is a process the switch uses to find the devices attached to the loop ports and to update the Name Server with the information. FCPH Fibre Channel Physical Layer is used to send Fibre Channel traffic to and from the switch. Fabric OS Message Reference Publication Number: 53-1000242-01 1-15
