HP StorageWorks 2/32 SAN switch 2/32 version 4.0.2b release notes - Page 35

Fabric OS Commands The output of the errDump command includes the display of errors/events history recorded in the persistent error log and error/events logged in the current run time cycle. This command also provides options to display ONLY those error/event messages that are saved in the persistent error log, or ONLY those messages generated during the current run time cycle. All important error log messages, regardless of their message severity level, are stored in a persistent storage as they are logged. Both the persistent error log and the run time log are limited in space and managed as circular buffers. When either log overflows, old entries are replaced by new entries. The persistent error log is saved across system reboots and power cycles and can be resized at run time. When this command is executed from the Standby CP, the switch instance number operand is required. The switch instance number is supplied by specifying the operand. This operand is not required when logged into the Active CP. Operands This command has the following operands: p - Display messages from the persistent error log. a - Display messages from the active error log. This displays error log messages logged during the current run time cycle that are present in the volatile memory (RAM). s swinst - this is an optional parameter to specify a switch instance number. This parameter is required on the Standby CP. This parameter should not be used on the Active CP. You must follow -s with the switch instance number where the command is to be executed. Valid values for switch instance are 0 (for the switch instance associated with slots 1 though 4) or 1 (for the switch instance associated with slots 6 though 10).
