Dell Brocade 6520 Message Reference Supporting Fabric OS v7.1.0 - Page 25

Overview of system messages 1 TABLE 1 Event classes (Continued) Operand Event class Description 6 FW 7 LS 8 CLI N/A RAS You can audit Fabric Watch (FW)-related changes. You can audit Virtual Fabric (Logical Switch)-related changes. You can audit the CLI commands executed on the switch. Used to audit or track the RASLog messages or modules that are enabled or disabled using the rasAdmin command. NOTE: The RAS class is not configurable, and it is always enabled internally. Fabric OS v7.1.0 generates component-specific Audit messages. Event auditing is a configurable feature, which is by default disabled. You must enable event auditing using the auditCfg --enable command to send the events to a configured remote host. Syslogd must be configured for logging audit messages. You can set up filters to screen out particular classes of events using the auditCfg command. The defined set of Audit messages is sent to the configured remote host in the Audit message format, so that they are easily distinguishable from other syslog events that may occur in the network. For details on how to configure event auditing, refer to "Configuring event auditing" on page 15. FFDC messages First Failure Data Capture (FFDC) is used to capture failure-specific data when a problem or failure is noted for the first time and before the switch reboots, or trace and log buffer get wrapped. All subsequent iterations of the same error are ignored. This critical debug information is saved in nonvolatile storage and can be retrieved using the supportSave command. The FFDC data is used for debugging or analyzing the problem. FFDC is intended for use by Brocade technical support. FFDC is enabled by default. Execute the supportFfdc command to enable or disable FFDC. If FFDC is disabled, the FFDC daemon does not capture any data, even when a message with an FFDC attribute is logged. The following is an example of the FFDC message. 2000/12/17-08:30:13, [SS-1000], 88, SLOT 6 | FFDC | CHASSIS, INFO, DCX, supportSave has uploaded support information to the host with IP address 192.0.2.2. Message severity levels Table 2 shows the four levels of severity for system messages, ranging from CRITICAL (1) to INFO (4). In general, the definitions are wide ranging and are to be used as general guidelines for troubleshooting. For all cases, you must look at each specific error message description thoroughly before taking action. Fabric OS Message Reference 3 53-1002749-01
