Event severity icons

Table 5 describes the icons that represent the four event types. Event filtering enables you to block
events based on user-defined criteria (severity or type of log). Events that have been filtered out do
not appear in the Master Log, For information about how to filter events, see “Filtering event log
entries” on page64.
Discovery
Discovery enables you to contact the adapters present in a specified host in your SAN. The setup
discovery profile is saved in the SetupDiscovery.properties file to remember the histo ry of
each host and related attributes of discovered hosts.
When you log in to HCM, the specified host is automatically contacted (discovered) and displayed
on the navigation tree. By default, the local host is automatically contacted (discovered) and
displayed on the navigation tree. When you configure and turn on discovery, the application
discovers Brocade adapters in that host, connected to the SAN.
NOTE
The HCM application enables you to discover Brocade adapters, ports, virtual ports, remote ports,
and LUNs using out-of-band discovery only.
TABLE 5 HCM Master Log icons
Icon Description
Critical-level messages indicate that the software has detected serious problems that will
eventually cause a partial or complete failure of a subsystem if not corrected immediately; for
example, a power supply failure or rise in temperature must receive immediate attention.
Major messages represent conditions that do not impact overall system functionality significantly.
For example, timeouts on certain operations, failures of certain operations after retries, invalid
parameters, or failure to perform a requested operation.
Minor messages highlight a current operating condition that should be checked or it might lead to
a failure in the future. For example, a power supply failure in a redundant system relays a warning
that the system is no longer operating in redundant mode and that the failed power supply needs
to be replaced or fixed.
Information-level messages report the current non-error status of the system components; for
example, the online and offline status of a fabric port.
