System module descriptions 1 If a daemon fails to ping the SWD within the defined interval, or if the daemon terminates unexpectedly, then the SWD dumps information to the panic dump files, which helps to diagnose the root cause of the unexpected failure. Enter the pdShow command to view these files or the supportSave command to send them to a host workstation using FTP. The panic dump files and core files are intended for support personnel use only. Trace dumps Fabric OS produces trace dumps when problems are encountered within Fabric OS modules. These files are intended for support personnel use only. You can use the supportSave or supportFTP commands to collect trace dump files to a specified remote location to provide to support when requested. Trace dump must be enabled and set up on the switch to detect the first event. Note that there is only one trace buffer on a switch. supportSave command The supportSave command can be used to send the output of the system messages (RASLog), the trace files, and the output of the supportShow command to an off-switch storage location through FTP. Prior to running the supportSave command, you can optionally set up the FTP parameters using the supportFtp command. The supportShow command runs a large number of dump and show commands to provide a global output of the status of the switch. After the supportsave operation is completed, you must enter the supportSave -r command to remove all unwanted files. Refer to the Fabric OS Command Reference for more information on these commands. System module descriptions Table 6 provides a summary of the system modules for which messages are documented in this guide; the system modules are listed alphabetically by name. A module is a subsystem in the Fabric OS. Each module generates a set of numbered messages. TABLE 6 System module descriptions System module Description AG Access Gateway (AG) allows multiple hosts (or HBAs) to access the fabric using fewer physical ports. Access Gateway mode transforms the Brocade switches as well as embedded switches into a device management tool that is compatible with different types of fabrics, including Brocade-, Cisco-, and McDATA-based fabrics. AN AUTH BCM BL BLS BLZ Error or warning messages from the Bottleneck Detection module, including notification of detected bottlenecks. Authentication error messages indicate problems with the authentication module of the Fabric OS. BCM kernel module is a linux driver which manages and indicates any problems associated with the Broadcom Ethernet switch for 10G/40G ports. BL error messages are a result of faulty hardware, transient out-of-memory conditions, ASIC errors, or inconsistencies in the software state between a blade and the environment monitor (EM) module. Fibre Channel over IP port configuration messages over the Brocade 7800 and FX8-24 blade. BLZ module messages indicate any problems associated with Fibre Channel over IP (FCIP) datapath processing and configurations. Brocade Fabric OS Message Reference 27 53-1004119-01
