1 System Module Descriptions TABLE 5 System Module BL BLL BM C2 CDR CER CHASSIS CNM CONF CTAP CVLC CVLM EM ESS EVMD FABR FABS FBC FCIP FCMC System Module Descriptions (Continued) Description Blade error messages are a result of faulty hardware, transient out-of-memory conditions, application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) errors, or inconsistencies in the software state between a blade and the EM (environment monitor) module. Bloom is the name of the application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) used as the building block for third-generation hardware platforms. Blade management error messages are a result of autoleveling firmware upgrades performed by the control processor (CP). Condor2 error messages indicate problems with the Condor2 ASIC driver module of the Fabric OS. Condor application specific integrated circuit (ASIC) driver error messages. This is the core edge routing module on the Brocade director platforms. Error messages reporting the problems in the management of the blades in the different slots of the chassis. CNM (Cluster Node Manager ) is a software daemon module of the Fabric OS. The messages from CNM are either problems encountered by CNM, warnings or information to inform the user of events. Status messages for configUpload and configDownload operations. A user-space daemon that forwards non-performance-critical messages from the TAPE driver to the CVLC and Security Processor (SP), and vice versa. This module also maintains a cache of recently acquired keys, reducing requests to the key vault itself. CVLC (Crypto Virtual LUN Controller) is a software module running on BFOS. The messages of CVLC are either problems encountered by CVLC, warnings to alert user, or informative to user. CVLM (Crypto Virtual LUN Manager) is a software module of the Fabric OS. The messages of CVLM are either problems encountered by CVLM, warnings to alert the user, or informative to the user. The environmental monitor (EM) manages and monitors the various field replaceable units (FRUs), including the port cards, control processor (CP) blades, blower assemblies, power supplies, and world wide name (WWN) 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 CLI commands, system light emitting diodes (LEDs), and status and alarm messages. EM also manages some component-related data. ESS (Exchange Switch Support) error messages indicate problems with the ESS module of the Fabric OS. ESS is an SW_ILS mechanism utilized by switches to exchange vendor and support information. This is the event management module. 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. Fabric OS system driver module. Firmware blade compatibility errors with control processor (CP). Fibre Channel over IP port configuration messages. Fibre Channel miscellaneous messages relate to problems with the physical layer used to send Fibre Channel traffic to and from the switch. 14 Fabric OS Message Reference 53-1001157-01
