New Persistent Error Logging Commands, Warning

Page 9 highlights

SAN Switch 2/32 Firmware Version 4.0.2b Updates • The persistent log is implemented as a circular buffer. When more than maximum entries are added to the persistent log, new entries overwrite old entries. • All error messages of levels Panic and Critical are automatically saved in the persistent log as they are logged. This guarantees that critical or panic level messages are not lost in the event of unexpected system reboot or fail-over. • A new command to control/filter error log messages. For example, the user may specify that all log messages marked Warning remain in the persistent error log. • The commands errdump or errshow display a combination of the persistent log messages saved during previous system run time cycles, and the error log messages generated during the current run time cycle. NOTE: Within Web Tools, the Fabric View Events ICON window does not separate persistent from RAM error messages. Please use the Events ICON located on the SAN Switch 2/32 for additional log details.
