LPFC Log Messages
Log messages have traditionally been organized into logical groups based on code
functionality in the FC driver. With the introduction of the latest Emulex adapters, that
grouping is modified to account for additional behaviors. The traditional grouping is
maintained, but recently added messages are no longer grouped together.
The messages provided in this section are unmaskable error conditions. They are
automatically added to the system console log.
You can examine the /var/log/vmkernel file.log to see any of these messages. If you
have concerns, the best policy is to run a vm-support dump and contact VMware or
Emulex support staff.
Log messages are organized into logical groups based on code functionality within the
driver. Each group consists of a block of 100 log message numbers. Most groups require
a single block of 100 message numbers, however some groups (INIT, FCP) require two
blocks.
Table 4-2 lists the groups and defines the associated number ranges for ESXi 5.0 and 5.1
systems.
Table 4-3 lists the groups and defines the associated number ranges for ESXi 5.5
systems.
