4.9 Events panel

Event logs help to troubleshoot hardware failures. This panel configures the event logging features of the FibreBridge. Some parameters will be “grayed out” if they do not apply to your model of the FibreBridge or if they have no effect based upon the selected value of a related parameter.

If the SAN is unable to detect or communicate with SCSI devices connected to the FibreBridge, you can examine the Event Log to determine if there is a hardware issue with the FibreBridge or if the problem is due to a configuration error. If the FibreBridge is configured to log all events, the log can be lengthy and difficult to interpret. Log events as efficiently as possible by enabling logging for that section of the FibreBridge.

Use BridgeTools to configure the type of event logging desired. To view the actual events, use either Serial or Ethernet communications tools such as FTP or Hyper Terminal. Refer to the FibreBridge manual for further details.

Clear all Events

Erases all previously recorded event log entries.

Event Level (default = all active)

Selects the level of monitoring and logging.

Event Logging (default = active)

Disables Event logging.

Event Subsystem (default = all active)

Selects which hardware subsystems are to be monitored. Select as many of the hardware systems as needed:

Fibre Channel

SCSI, Ethernet

GBIC

NVRAM hardware systems

Some options will be “grayed out” on the panel: they are not available because of the type of access mode or FibreBridge model or they have no effect based on other

selections. The chart below shows options available based on model and access method.
