Troubleshooting with Driver Logs

Table A-6lists the more common driver log messages and provides an explanation of each.

Table A-6. Common Driver Log Messages

"qla2xxx <dev driver string>: Found an ISPXXXX, irq yyy, iobase zzz"

Driver is reporting which adapter it has found during initialization.

"qla2xxx <dev driver string>: Verifying loaded RISC code..."

Driver is reporting that it has verified the RISC code and it is running.

"qla2xxx <dev driver string>: LIP reset occured (f8f7)."

Driver received a LIP async event from the firmware.

"qla2xxx <dev driver string>: LOOP UP detected (4 Gbps)."

Driver received a loop up async event from the firmware.

"qla2xxx <dev driver string>: LOOP DOWN detected."

Driver received a loop down async event from the firmware.

"scsi(%d): Asynchronous P2P MODE received."

Driver received a point-to-point async event from the firmware.

"qla2xxx <dev

....driver string>:

QLogic Fibre Channel HBA Driver:

8.02.01-k1-vmw41-debug

QLogic QLExxxx - PCI-Express Dual Channel NGb

Fibre Channel

HBA...

"

 

 

Driver is reporting information discovered during its initialization. This information includes the board ID, firmware version, and driver version.

"qla%d Loop Down - aborting ISP"

Indicates driver is attempting to restart the loop by resetting the adapter. Usually done by the driver when sync is not detected by the firmware for a long time (4+ minutes), and usually means that the adapter port is not connected to the switch or loop.

"qla2xxx <dev driver string>: ISP System Error - mbx1=%x, mbx2=%x, mbx3=%x"

Driver received an async ISP system error event from the firmware. Additional information follows the message (that is, mailbox values from the firmware).

"qla2xxx <dev driver string>: Configuration change detected: value %d."

Driver received a change in connection async event from the firmware. Additional information follows the message (that is, mailbox 1 value from the firmware).
