System error message formats
There is only one error message format for the switch whether you are gathering
information from the local RS-232 serial port or using a remote Telnet session.
Errors are listed in reverse chronological order. Up to 64 messages can be held in
the buffer. If the 64 message limit is exceeded, the oldest message is deleted to
make room for the newest message.
The
errShow
command displays all detected errors. The output provides additional
information over the front panel display. The following information is displayed by
the
errShow
command:
v
Task ID
v
Task name
v
Date and time of the error
v
Number of occurrences
v
Error type
v
Error level
v
A description of the error
v
The error number is displayed for diagnostic errors
Note:
The error counter goes to a maximum of 999.
The display halts after each error is displayed, prompting you to either press
Enter
to continue or type a
Q
to quit. Continue pressing
Enter
until the prompt (=>) is
displayed. In Figure 62 on page 118, Error 02 represents a system error and Error
01 represents a diagnostic error (error number #004). Only diagnostic errors are
assigned error numbers.
