SPARC Enterprise Mx000 Servers XSCF User’s Guide • April 2008

This message is output in case of panic. The panic message is output to the domain
console (OS console) and retained as log information in the XSCF. The panic log
retains the information corresponding to the last single panic event that occurred.
The showlogs (8) command of XSCF can be used to display the panic log.

Console message

The console message is a general term used to describe syslog messages, FMA
messages, panic messages, IPL messages, and other messages output by POST,
OpenBoot PROM, and the Solaris OS. The console messages are output to each
domain console (OS console) and are retained as log information (in a console log) in
the XSCF. The showlogs (8) command of the XSCF Shell can be used to display the
console log.

Note –

Console messages are overwritten, beginning with the oldest message. Even

when the wraparound feature causes a console message to be overwritten, the
system startup message is retained in the IPL log, and in case of panic, the log is
retained in the panic log.

Note –

When the XSCF unit is redundant, the console messages retained in the

XSCF Unit on the active side are not copied to the standby side. Accordingly, after
the XSCF Unit is switched, the console messages on the previously active side
cannot be referenced.

Monitoring message

The XSCF firmware outputs this message to notify the server fault or status. The
monitoring message is output by using the showmonitorlog (8) command, and
retained as log information (in a monitoring message log or XSCF error log) in the
XSCF. The showlogs (8) command of the XSCF Shell can be used to display the
monitoring message and XSCF error log for more detailed investigation. Authorized
service personnel use the DIAGCODE output in the message to acquire detailed
information.

Note –

Monitoring messages are overwritten, beginning with the oldest message.

Note –

When the XSCF Unit is redundant, monitoring messages output by the XSCF

Unit on the active side are also managed on the standby side. Even after the XSCF
Unit is switched, the monitoring messages on the previously active side can be
referenced.
