/cx show alarms [reverse]

Asynchronous events (also referred to as AENs or alarms) are originated by firmware and captured by their respective device drivers. These events reflect warning, debugging, and/or informative messages for the end user. These events are kept in a finite queue inside the kernel, awaiting extraction by user space programs such as CLI and/or 3DM.

The /cx show alarms command displays all available alarms on a given controller. The default is to display the most recent alarm or AEN message first. The user can also use the [reverse] attribute to display the most recent alarm or AEN message last.

Alarms generated on 7000/8000 controllers do not have dates, so you will see a '-' in the Date column. This means that it is not applicable. In addition, alarm messages on 7000/8000 controllers contain the severity in the message text, so the Severity column also shows a '-'.

Typical output looks like:

tw_cli> /c1 show alarms reverse
