Using the System Log
The
System Log
(different from the Element Manager
Message Log
)
contains errors or warning states encountered at the SAN Router.
This could include ports going up and down, mSNS unable to zone, a
SAN Router task failing, and so on. The
System Log
information will
be routinely requested by Technical Support whenever you report a
problem.
The Message Log is contained in Element Manager whereas the
System Log is contained in the SAN Router.
Periodically, you should retrieve the
System Log
to preserve a copy,
and then empty the contents. The System Log has a fixed size. New
entries are written to the beginning of the log overwriting the oldest
entries.
To retrieve and clear the system log, refer to
Retrieving and Clearing
the System Log
on page 7-14.

connections through ping utility from the SAN Router.
