Section 2
Events and Event Logging
Messages originate from the switch or from the SANsurfer Switch Manager application in response to events that occur in the fabric.
2.1
Understanding Severity Levels
Events are classified by the following severity levels:
Alarm – The alarm level describes events that are disruptive to the administration or operation of a fabric and require administrator intervention.
Alarms are always logged and always displayed on the screen. Alarm thresholds can be defined for certain port errors to customize when to generate an alarm.
Critical – The critical level describes events that are generally disruptive to the administration or operation of the fabric, but require no action.
Warning – The warning level describes events that are generally not disruptive to the administration or operation of the fabric, but are more important than the informative level events.
Informative – The informative level describes routine events associated with a normal fabric.
2.2
Displaying Events using the SANsurfer Switch Manager Event
Browser
SANsurfer Switch Manager provides an Event Browser, which displays events from the switch event log and events that are generated by SANsurfer Switch
Manager itself. The Event Browser formats events by severity, timestamp, source, type, and description. Events read from the switch event log obtain the timestamp from the switch clock, while events generated by SANsurfer Switch Manager use the workstation clock.
The Event Browser can maintain a maximum of 1500 events. Once the maximum is reached, the oldest events are discarded and replaced with new events. To display the Event Browser, open the Fabric menu and select Show Event
Browser, or click the Events button on the tool bar. When you close SANsurfer
Switch Manager, all events in the Event Browser are lost. To save events to file before closing SANsurfer Switch Manager, open the File menu from the Event
Browser window and select Save As. For more information about the Event
Browser, refer to the Switch Management User’s Guide for your switch.

2 – Events and Event Logging
Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface
A
2.3
Displaying the Events Using the Command Line Interface
When you log into a switch through Telnet, the command line interface automatically displays the alarm history. You can use the Show Alarm or Show
Log command to display the alarm history at any time. New alarm messages are displayed in the command stream as they occur. Refer to the Installation Guide for your switch for more information about the Show Log command.
In the command line interface, each message has the following format:
[ordinal][time_stamp][severity][source][message_ID][message_text]
[ordinal]
– A number assigned to each message in sequence since that last time the alarm history was cleared.
[time_stamp]
– The time the alarm was issued in the format day-month-hh:mm:ss:ms-yyyy. This time stamp comes from the switch for events that originate with the switch, and from the workstation for events that originate from SANsurfer Switch Manager.
[severity]
– The event severity: A–Alarm, C–Critical, W–Warning,
I–Informative.
[source]
– The program module or application that generated the event.
Sources include Zoning, Switch, PortApp, EPort, Management Server. Alarms do not include the source.
[message_ID]
– A number that identifies the message using the following format: category.message_number
[message_text]
– The alarm message text
Consider the following Informative level event example from the Switch source:
[1][Wed May 26 12:30:29.965 UTC 2004][I][8400.0022][Switch][Successful login user
(snmp@IB-session6) with admin privilege]

2 – Events and Event Logging
Configuring the Event Log
2.4
Configuring the Event Log
You can customize what events that are recorded in the switch event log using the
Set Log command. With the Set Log command, you can filter the events to be recorded by component, specific ports, and severity level. You can choose from the following component events:
E_Port events
Management server events
Name server events
Port events
Switch management events
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) events
Zoning events
Refer to the Installation Guide for your switch for more information about the Set
Log command.
2.5
Archiving and Downloading the Event Log
You can use the command line interface to create a file on the switch that contains the most recent 200 entries plus the previous 1000 entries. This file can then be downloaded to the workstation using FTP. To create and download a log file, do the following:
1.
Log into the switch through Telnet and create an archive of the event log.
The Set Log Archive command creates a file on the switch named logfile.
QLogic #> admin start
QLogic (admin) #> set log archive
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
A
2.6
Configuring Port Alarm Thresholds
You can configure the switch to generate alarms for selected events. 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 using the SANsurfer Switch Manager or the command line interface:
CRC errors
Decode errors
ISL connections
Device logins
Device logouts
Loss-of-signal errors
To configure port threshold alarms using SANsurfer Switch Manager, open the
Switch menu in the faceplate display, and select Port Threshold Alarm
Configuration. The Port Threshold Alarm Configuration dialog shown in prompts you to enable or disable all alarms, select an event, set triggers, set a sample window and enable or disable an individual alarm. Refer to the Switch
Management User’s Guide for your switch for more information about port threshold alarms.
To configure port threshold alarms using the command line interface, use the Set
Config Threshold command. Refer to the Installation Guide for your switch for more information about the command line interface and the Set Config command.

Section 3
Event Messages
This section lists event messages from the command line interface and SANsurfer
Switch Manager in message ID sequence by the following severity levels:
