Configuring the Host
Fabric OS supports a subset of UNIX-style message severities that default to the UNIX local7 facility. To
configure the host, edit the
/etc/syslog.conf
file to map Fabric OS message severities to UNIX
severities, as shown in Table 28 .
In
In the following example, Fabric OS messages map to local7 facility level 7 in the
/etc/syslog.conf
file:
If you prefer to map Fabric OS severities to a different UNIX local7 facility level, see ” To set the facility
level: ” on page 177.
Configuring the switch
Configuring the switch involves specifying syslogd hosts and, optionally, setting the facility level. You can
also remove a host from the list of syslogd hosts.
To specify syslogd hosts:
1. Connect to the switch and log in as admin.
2. Issue the
syslogdipadd
command and specify an IP address.
3. Verify the IP address was entered correctly using the
syslogdipshow
command.
