Procedure for All Errors
The AXIS shelf controller (ASC) maintains a set of log files, which contain the messages logged by the
ASC and the individual service modules. The logs are stored on the ASC hard disk. There are five logs,
each log contains the events for one day. The logs are rotated daily, therefore there should always be
events for five days. Each log file contains information about configuration changes and errors that
occurred in the shelf on a particular day. The commands used by the user to change the configuration
are also logged in these log files.
Note
Each file has a maximum size of 1.4 MB. When a day’s log exceeds 1.4 MB, the last entry in the log
is overwritten each time a new message is logged. This process is repeated until a new file is created
the next day.
The log file can be displayed only from the command-line interface (CLI). The CLI command used to
display the log is dsplog.
dsplog (slot#) | (slot# day offset)
The day offset means offset from today.
Examples: dsplog 7 1 would display the events for slot 7 that occurred yesterday.
dsplog 12 3 would display the events for slot 12, 3 days ago.
dsplog 5 would display the events for slot 5 today.
dsplog displays all the logs starting from the most current and
proceeding backwards.
Each line of the log display is one log entry in the following fixed format:
01/21/1998-08:34:36 5 cmm 4024 FRSM going active
