Error Log Enhancements The Error Log subsystem now retains a maximum of 1,536 messages in RAM, that is, a total of 256 messages for each error message level (Panic, Critical, Error, Warning, Info, and Debug). In addition, important messages are stored in a separate persistent error log to guarantee that they are not lost in case of power outage or system reboot. IMPORTANT: The enhancement prevents messages of lesser severity from overwriting messages of greater severity. For example, Warning messages cannot overwrite Error, Critical or Panic messages. Error log updates include: • The error log subsystem supports persistent logging. Each switch integrates its own persistent log. • The persistent log is preserved across power cycles and system reboots. • The persistent log has a default capacity to store 1,024 error log entries. • The persistent log can be resized at run time without having to reboot the switch or the system. • The persistent log is configurable to a maximum of 2,048 entries. The persistent error log can be resized to between 1,024 and 2,048 entries. 8 SAN switch 2/32, version 4.0.2b release notes
