Archiving and downloading the event log You can use the CLI to create a file on the switch that contains the most recent 1,200 entries. This file can then be downloaded to the workstation using FTP. To create and download a log file: 1. Log into the switch through Telnet and create an archive of the event log using the set log archive command. Switch #> admin start Switch (admin) #> set log archive This creates a file on the switch named logfile. 2. Open an FTP session on the switch and login with the account name images and password images. Transfer the file logfile in binary mode with the get command. >ftp ip_address user:images password: images ftp>bin ftp>get logfile xxxxx bytes sent in xx secs. ftp>quit Configuring port alarm thresholds You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events using the set config threshold command. Configuring an alarm involves choosing an event type, rising and falling triggers, a sample window, and, finally, enabling or disabling the alarm. You can configure port alarm thresholds for the following port events: • Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC) errors • Decode errors • Inter-switch link (ISL) connections • Device logins • Device logouts • Loss-of-signal errors For more information, see the HP StorageWorks 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch command line interface guide. 8/20q Fibre Channel Switch event messages reference guide 11
