Miniport driver logs. The miniport driver logs events for significant driver errors. Due to a limitation of the Windows miniport driver interface, the miniport can log only two
In addition, the miniport driver can be configured to perform extended event logging for an adapter, which causes it to log all loop transitions and many minor events. Extended Application Event Logging uses extra overhead and is enabled only in troubleshooting situations. The extended Application Event Logging flag is stored in the adapter NVRAM, which you can modify using Fast!UTIL or the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager.
Linux Messages File
For Red Hat/SUSE Linux systems, the Linux messages file is the main source of information for device driver problems and events. Device drivers usually indicate only status by logging events in the Linux messages file. SANsurfer FC HBA Manager agents also use the Linux messages file to report service errors, and so on. For more information, see the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager Application Help.
The Linux agent logs events for significant driver errors. In addition, you can configure the Linux agent to perform extended event logging for an adapter, which causes it to log all loop transitions and many minor events. Extended Application Event Logging uses extra overhead and is enabled only in troubleshooting situations. The extended event logging flag is stored in the adapter parameters, which you modify using Fast!UTIL or the SANsurfer FC HBA Manager.
The path for the Linux messages file is /var/log/messages.
