Syntax errShow [-s swinst] [-p] [-a]
Availability Admin
Description Use this command to display the error log. This command enables
you to scroll through the entries using the ENTER key. Use errDump to
display the same information without line breaks.
The output of errshow command includes the display of
errors/events recorded in the persistent error log during previous
run time cycles and the display of error/event messages logged in the
current run time cycle.
This command also provides options to display ONLY those error log
messages that are saved in the persistent log and to display ONLY
those messages that are logged during the current run time cycle.
All important error log messages, regardless of their message severity
level, are stored in a persistent storage as they are logged. Both the
persistent error log and the run time log are limited in space and
managed as circular buffers. When either log overflows, old entries
are replaced by new entries.
The persistent error log is saved across system reboots and power
cycles and can be resized at run time.
When this command is executed from the Standby CP of an ED-12000B, the
switch instance operand is required. The switch instance number is supplied
by specifying the -s swinst operand. This operand is not required when
logged into the Active CP
Each entry in the log follows the format below:
Error Number
------------
taskId (taskName): Time Stamp (count)
Error Type, Error Level, Error Message
