Master Log The Master Log displays event information in seven fields: • Sr No. Sequence number assigned to the event when it occurred, in ascending order. • Severity Event severity level (informational, minor, major, or critical). - Critical-level messages indicate that the software has detected serious problems that will eventually cause a partial or complete failure of a subsystem if not corrected immediately. For example, IO controller heartbeat failure is a critical error. - Major messages represent conditions that do not impact overall system functionality significantly. - Minor messages highlight a current operating condition that should be checked or it might lead to a failure. - Information-level messages report the current non-error status of the system components, for example, the online and offline status of a port. • WWN World-Wide Name of adapter where the event occurred. • Category The category or type of event. Categories define the component where events occur: - ADAPTER - Events pertaining to the adapter. - PORT - Events pertaining to a physical port. - LPORT - Events pertaining to a specific logical port (one logical port always exists per physical port). - RPORT - Events pertaining to a specific remote port (could be an initiator or target). - ETHPORT - Events pertaining to the Ethernet port. - AUDIT - Audit events subcategory. - IOC - Events pertaining to the I/O controller. - ITNIM - Events pertaining to an initiator-target nexus. - VLAN - Events pertaining to a virtual LAN. - TEAM - Events pertaining to a team (link aggregation group). • Subcategory of main category. 70 Brocade Adapters Troubleshooting Guide 53-1002145-01

eventually cause a partial or complete failure of a subsystem if not corrected immediately.
For example, IO controller heartbeat failure is a critical error.
-
Major messages represent conditions that do not impact overall system functionality
significantly.
-
Minor messages highlight a current operating condition that should be checked or it might
lead to a failure.
