SYSTEM MESSAGES

OVERVIEW

System Messages provide useful system information. They are listed in the system’s report log, a memory resident table. To manipulate the report log, use the following commands at the administrative console:

dr or ds display reports or display statistics

er or es erase current messages/statistics from memory

wr or ws write reports/statistics to disk

When the CyberSWITCH writes system messages to disk, it stores them in the following locations: Directory:

File Name:

The system reports messages using the following format:

Message Type		Time	Report Number	Message
I	Informational	hour:minutes:second	internal ID for area	actual text of
W	Warning		reporting the	the message
E	Error		message

•the Message Type quickly identifies the type of message the system reports

•the Time identifies when the message was reported

•the Report Number is used by your Distributor or Customer Support

•the Message text describes the actual message being reported

This chapter describes the types of system messages available (for example, informational and error). It also lists each message individually, with suggested actions to take in the event of an error.

Note: Some of the system messages will not appear on all platforms.

There is another chapter that is of major importance when dealing with system messages. The Problem Diagnosis chapter describes the process of diagnosing common problems, (particularly in the system verification process,) as well as providing possible recoveries.
