Messages
This book supports Fabric OS version 3.1.x and contains diagnostic and system
error messages, with recommended responses to the messages. Error messages are
arranged alphabetically, first by module and then by individual message. A typical
module contains multiple error messages. Each error message description consists
of the following:
■
The message text
■
An explanation of the message or its probable cause
■
A recommended user response
■
The message’s severity level.
There may be more than one cause and more than one recommended course of
action for any given message. This document provides the most probable cause
and recommends the typically most beneficial response.

following major topics:

Error Message Severity Levels
There are six levels of severity, ranging from 0 (panic) to 5 (debug). The
definitions of the severity levels are quite general and should be used as guidelines
for troubleshooting. In each case, you should thoroughly assess each error log
description before taking a recovery action.
