The daemon is constantly running and ready to receive messages from system processes. The events are logged according to the statements in the configuration file, and syslogd is enabled to receive messages from a remote machine. syslogd listens to UDP port 514 for system events.

The fabric topology view exposes the internal configuration of a fabric for
management purposes. It contains interconnect information about switches and
devices connected to the fabric.
Under normal optional circumstances, a device (typically an FCP initiator) queries
the name server for storage devices within its member zones. Because this limited
view is not always sufficient, the management server provides the management
application with a management view of the name server database.
Using the management server
The Management Server provides two management services:
v
Fabric configuration service - provides basic configuration management for
topology information.
v
Unzoned name server access - management view of the name server
information.
It also supports the following fabric configuration service requests:
v
Get Interconnect Element List (GIEL)
v
Get Interconnect Element Type (GIET)
v
Get Domain Identifier (GDID)
v
Get Management Identifier (GMID)
v
Get Fabric Name (GFN)
v
Get Interconnect Element Logical Name (GIELN)
v
Get Interconnect Element Management Address List (GMAL)
v
Get Interconnect Element Information List (GIEIL)
v
Get Port List (GPL)
v
Get Port Type (GPT)
v
Get Physical Port Number (GPPN)
v
Get Attached Port Name List (GAPNL)
v
Get Port State (GPS)
v
Register Interconnect Element Logical Name (RIELN)

syslog daemon
A UNIX style syslog daemon (syslogd) process is supported. syslogd reads system
events and forwards system messages to users, and writes the events to log files
according to your system configuration.
Introduction
The syslogd daemon reads system events and forwards system messages to users
and stores them in log files according to your system configuration. Events are
categorized by facility and severity. Refer to the manual pages on your UNIX
system for a list of facilities and severity levels. The log process is used to log
errors and system events on the local machine and is sent to a user or system
administrator. The daemon is constantly running and ready to receive messages
from system processes. The events are logged according to the statements in the
configuration file, and syslogd is enabled to receive messages from a remote
