Introduction
About This Document

This document details the options displayed in the portlogdump command output and how it helps to troubleshoot fabric
issues.
Supported Hardware
The following hardware platforms are supported by Brocade® Fabric OS® 9.0.0.
Brocade Gen 7 (64Gb/s) Directors

For ease of reference, Brocade chassis-based storage systems are standardizing on the term director. The legacy term
backbone can be used interchangeably with the term director.
• Brocade X7-4 Director
Brocade Gen 6 (32Gb/s) Fixed-Port Switches

• Brocade G610 Switch
• Brocade 7810 Extension Switch
• Brocade G648 Blade Server SAN I/O Module
• Brocade MXG610 Blade Server SAN I/O Module
Brocade Gen 6 (32Gb/s) Directors

CLI Usage Conventions

• Some Fabric OS show commands display certain switch or fabric components in three-digit decimal numbers, for
example, 003. When you use these numeric identifiers as input to other commands, you must remove the leading
zeros; otherwise the commands will fail or generate incorrect results. Adding zeros to any decimal number in command
input will cause that number to be treated as an octal number.
• The entire command line (both commands and options) is case-sensitive. Selected command names and options
may also support Java-style capitalization. Java-style capitalization means that while bannershow and bannerShow
will both work, BANNERSHOW and BannerShow will not work. Command options on the other hand are strictly case-
sensitive, and therefore only lower-case or Java-style capitalization can be entered depending on each option. This
means that while the -USB option of the configDownload command works, the -usb option will not. Refer to the
command syntax for explicit instructions on supported capitalization for each command and its options.
• When command examples in this guide show user input enclosed in quotation marks, the quotation marks are
required. Example: zonecreate "zonename" requires that the value for zonename be in quotation marks.
• Automatic page breaks in CLI command output are being phased out. Use the more option to display command
output with page breaks: command | more . Do not use the more option in conjunction with help pages. Issuing help
command | more displays a “no manual entry for command ” message.

Understanding the portLogDump Command
The portLogDump Command

The portlogdump command output is a powerful tool that can be used to troubleshoot fabric issues. This chapter lists
most of the Fibre Channel codes that you need to decode your Fibre Channel portlogdump traces and Fibre Channel
analyzer traces, and it explains how to decode the Fabric OS portlogdump traces.
Use the portlogdump output to read the actions and communications within a fabric. By understanding the processes
that occur in the fabric, you can locate areas that may be problematic.
This chapter assumes that you are familiar with the Fibre Channel Physical (FC-PH) frame and portlogdump format and
that you also understand the types of frames.
ATTENTION
Information contained in this chapter is subject to change without notice. In addition, undocumented messages
may appear in the portlogdump output.
Reading portLogDump Output

The portlogdump command displays the port log, showing a portion of the FC-PH header (see FC-PH Frames) and the
payload.
NOTE
Some Brocade hardware can divide the physical switch into virtual switches. The portlogdump command
reports the information for only the particular virtual switch in which it is used.
Because the portlogdump output is long, a truncated example is presented.

Using and Customizing the portLogDump Output

There are several commands that can be used to view certain aspects of the portlogdump output (such as a list of
possible events) and to customize the output of the portlogdump command.
Refer to the Brocade Fabric OS Command Reference Manual for more detailed command information.
Related Commands
The following table displays commands related to portlogdump .
Table 1: portlogdump-Related Commands
Command Action
portlogdump [count, [saved]] Displays the port log, listing all entries in the log without page
breaks. This command displays the same information as
portlogshow , but portlogshow prompts you to type a
return between each page of output.
The count option controls the number of entries that display.
The saved option (when set to 1) causes the command to
display the port log saved in flash memory (due to a previous
switch fault).
portlogdumpport <port_index> Displays the port log of the specified port by its port index
number. The command displays all entries in the log without page
breaks. It is identical to portlogshow portid , except that
portlogshow portid prompts the user to type a return
between each page of output.
portlogshow [count, [saved]] Displays the port log. This command displays one page of output
at a time. The portlogshow command displays the same
information as portlogdump , but it prompts you to type a
return between each page of output.
The count option controls the number of entries that display.
The saved option (when set to 1) causes the command to
display the port log saved in flash memory (due to a previous
switch fault).
portlogclear Clears the port log of all entries. You may want to clear the port
log before triggering an activity so that the log displays only the
entries related to that activity.
portlogeventshow Displays the ID associated with the event. You can use this ID to
enable or disable an event and prevent it from appearing in the
portlogdump output.
Also, this command shows the current enabled state for each
event.
portlogshowport <port_index> Displays the port log of a specified port, showing one page of
output at a time. It is identical to portlogdump portid ,
except that portlogdump portid does not prompt you to
type a return between each page of output.
11
Command Action
portlogtypedisable <log_type_id> Disables the port log for a specified port log type. Disabling a port
log type prevents it from appearing in the portlogdump output,
saving space for significant events.
portlogtypeenable <log_type_id> Enables the port log for a specified port log type. Enabling a port
log type allows it to appear in the portlogdump output.
portlogconfigshow Displays the current port log configuration.
portlogresize <num_entries> Resizes the number of port log entries.
Displaying and Customizing the portLogDump Output

A port log event is the specific action that is being described by the output. For a complete list of possible events for your
switch, see Event.
Use the following procedure to list port log events and find their associated ID numbers.
1. Connect to the switch as the administrator.
2. Enter the portlogeventshow command.
The left column displays the ID associated with the event. The number can be used to enable or disable a particular
event; disabling an event prevents it from appearing in the portlogdump output.
The middle column displays the event names.
The right column displays the enabled or disabled status of the event (0 = Enabled, 1 = Disabled). A disabled event
does not appear in the portlogdump output.
NOTE
Broadcom does not recommend that you customize the portlogdump output unless directed to do so by
technical support.
3. Enter one of the following commands:
• portlogtypeenable <ID> : To enable the particular event in the portlogdump output. <ID> is the ID number
gathered in the previous step.
• portlogtypedisable <ID> : To disable the particular event in the portlogdump output. <ID> is the ID
number gathered in the previous step.
In the following example, the "start" event is disabled. It will not appear in the portlogdump output.

FC-PH Frames
FC-PH stands for Fibre Channel payload and header frames. The header contains control and addressing information
associated with the frame. The payload contains the information being transported by the frame and is determined by the
higher-level service or FC-4 upper-level protocol. There are many different payload formats based on the protocol.
• The routing control INFO bit (bits 27–24) determines how to interpret the payload.
• The TYPE field (word 2, bits 31–24) tells which information unit (IU) format to use.
The following table describes the entire FC-PH frame.

FC-PH Frame Definitions

The following sections describe the FC-PH frame header fields.
Routing Control (R_CTL)

The Routing Control (R_CTL) is the high-order byte in word 0 of the frame header. It defines the type of the frame and its
contents. The first four high-order bits (word bits 31-28) identify the frame type. The next four bits (word bits 27-24) define
the contents of the frame or identify the function of the frame.

Different controls are necessary for different classes of service. The Class-Specific Field Control (CS_CTL) field should
always be zero, per the FC-PH standards. If it is something other than zero, it is a Brocade internal code called an
IU_Status Value. The following table shows the CS_CTL. These are Brocade internal constants, not standard FC
descriptions.

State Change Notifications

There are three different State Change Notifications (SCNs):
• Stage Change Registration (SCR)
The State Change Registration (SCR) Extended Link Service requests the Fabric Controller to add the N_Port or
NL_Port to the list of N_Ports and NL_Ports registered to receive the Registered State Change Notification (RSCN)
Extended Link Service.
• Registered State Change Notification (RSCN)
The Fabric Controller issues RSCN requests only to N_Ports and NL_Ports that have registered to be notified of state
changes in other N_Ports and NL_Ports. This registration is performed by way of the SCR Extended Link Service.
An N_Port or NL_Port can issue an RSCN to the Fabric Controller without having completed an SCR with the Fabric
Controller.
• Internal State Change Notification (SCN)
The Internal State Change Notification is used for internal state change notifications, not external changes. If the
switch logging that the port is online or is an Fx_Port. This is not what is sent from the switch to the Nx_Ports.
Reading an SCN Event

--------------------------------------------------------------------
12:05:28.116 PORT scn 7 137 00000000, 00000000, 00000008
• The cmd field represents the SCN type. See SCN Codes to view the cmd description.
• In the args column:
– Arg 1 is dependent on the SCN type
• First 16 bits (most significant) = The mode that the port is in.
• Second 16 bits (least significant) = The error that causes the port to be marked OFFLINE.
– Arg 2 is dependent on the SCN type; it is currently not used (00000000).
– Arg 3 is the SCN subtype.
• Combine the SCN subtype (the third arg) and the SCN type (the cmd column) to uniquely identify a particular SCN.
The SCN type alone is not sufficient and is not guaranteed to be unique across all SCN types.

The following table through Internal SCN Blade States relate to the possible State Change Notification (SCN) results
returned by the portlogdump command.

Extended Link Service (ELS)

An Extended Link Service (ELS) request is sent to the destination N_Port to perform the requested function or service.
• The R_CTL field of an Extended Link Service request is set to 0x22.
• The R_CTL field of the Extended Link Service reply is set to 0x23.
• The Type field for both requests and replies is 0x01 the (portlogdump trace does not provide the TYPE information).
The command code for an ELS is always the first word of the payload (word 6) for both the request and the reply.
There are 2148 bytes in a frame, and the portlogdump command captures a portion of the frame.
For Tx and Rx events, the first Arg field obtains the portion of the header and one word of the payload, word 6. Arg 1,
2, and 3 belong to the FC-PH header (word 0, 1, 4 = R_CTL, D_ID, S_ID, OX_ID, RX_ID). The last argument (fourth
argument) belongs to the payload. See ELS Example 1.

Switch Fabric Internal Link Services (SW_ILS)

Internal Link Services refers to the service that allows a switch to communicate with itself. A domain controller (or
embedded port) communicates to receive updated information.
When portlogdump shows a Well Known Address communicating to another Well Known Address, such as FFFD to
FFFD, or FFFCxx to FFFCxx (xx being the domain ID), see ILS for information about that communication. See SW_ILS
Examples.

Fabric OS State Synchronization (FSS)

The primary function of FSS is to deliver State Update messages from active components to their peer standby
components. FSS determines if fabric elements are synchronized (and thus "FSS-compliant").
A Fabric OS switch service is composed of a set of components, which is either a user-space service daemon or kernel-
space driver with a symbolic name to identify its function inside the switch service and the instance number of the switch
on which the component is operating.
FSS monitors the Fabric OS elements (asic driver, ns, zone, web, fabric, fspf, ms, ps, and so on) and reports them as
either FSS compliant or not FSS compliant. A fabric service is deemed fault resilient (or FSS compliant) if a set of its
components is operating in an active standby mode, and the state replication is carried out from the active components to
their corresponding standby components.
The following table outlines each line of FSS portlogdump output.

The following steps indicate how to interpret the example (from left to right).
1. The task column should display FSSK.
2. Look at the event column. All events (msg, cmd, event, and so on) are described in FSS Messages.
3. Bypass the port column; it is always "0" because FSS is not a port-related service.
4. Look at the cmd column.
• 0 indicates Sent or Transmitted (TX).
• 1 indicates Received (RX).
5. Begin reading the args column.
• Arg1 (the first 8 characters) displays the service ID and the component ID. See FSSk Component Identification.
• Arg2 (the second 8 characters) displays send or receive operation data.
• Arg3 (the third 8 characters) displays optional flags (send or receive data).
• Arg4 (the fourth entry in the args column) displays text that helps clarify the output.
82
– Note the displayed text (for example, UPDA).

– Look back at the event column (for example, msg).
– Use FSS Messages to find the message description.

Management Server
The Management Server (MS) provides a single management access point within the Fibre Channel fabric.
The Management Server (MS) Well Known Address is FFFFFA.
90
The Management Server covers the following areas:

• The Fabric Configuration Server provides for the configuration management of the fabric (see Fabric Configuration
Server ).
• The Unzoned Name Server provides access to Name Server information that is not subject to zone constraints (see
Name Server (SNS)).
• The Fabric Zone Server provides access to, and control of, zone information (see Fabric Zone Server (ZS)).
Fabric Configuration Server

The Fabric Configuration Server (FCS) provides a way for management applications to discover Fibre Channel Fabric
topology and attributes. Requests for the Fabric Configuration Server are carried over the Common Transport. The
Fabric Configuration Server is intended to be distributed among fabric elements, making the Fabric Configuration Server
immediately available to an N_Port once it has successfully completed Fabric Login. However, the Fabric Configuration
Server is not restricted or required to be part of a fabric, and may be located in any N_Port or NL_Port.
Fabric Configuration Server Codes

Fabric Configuration Server registration, deregistration, and queries are managed through protocols containing a set of
Request CT_IUs and Response CT_IUs supported by the Fabric Configuration Server. See FC-CT Response Commands.
Management Server Response Codes

See FC-CT Response Commands for all FC_CT response codes.
Management Server Command Codes

The primary management switch (FCS switch) can also be used as an access point for Management Server access,
access by SNMP software that polls for fabric status, a focal point for fabric-related SNMP traps, and as an access point
for SAN management software. For example, a client Nx_Port communicates its Management Server request (as defined
in FC-GS-4) to a switch via the well-known address FFFFFA. An example of a management application that uses the
Management Server is the Brocade API.

Fabric Zone Server (ZS)

The Fabric Zone Server (ZS) adds and removes, activations, and queries are managed through protocols containing a set
of Request CT_IUs and Response CT_IUs supported by the Fabric Zone Server. For a Fabric Zone Server request, the
payload is transported from the requestor to the Fabric Zone Server using a Request CT_IU. The corresponding Fabric
Zone Server response is transported from the Fabric Zone Server to the requestor, in the exchange established by the
requestor, using a Response CT_IU.
101
The request codes described in Fabric Zone Server (ZS) codes are based on Section 6.4.6.3 (Basic Zoning Management
Commands) of FC-GS-8 REV 11.02 dated March 24, 2017. See Target Driven Peer Zone request codes for more
information.

Host Bus Adapter Management Server

The Host Bus Adapter (HBA) Management server is defined to allow the registration and retrieval of HBA Management
information.
For a HBA Management Server request, the payload shall be transported from the requestor to the HBA Management
Server using a Request CT_IU. The corresponding HBA Management Server response is transported from the HBA
Management Server to the requestor, in the Exchange established by the requestor, using a Response CT_IU.
The request codes described in HBA Management Server codes are based on Section 6.7.4.3.2 (CT_IU preamble values)
of FC-GS-7 -Rev 10.2 July 21, 2014.

Application Server
The Application Server provides a way to manage application-specific services such as application identifiers. The
Application Server registration, deregistration, and queries are managed through protocols containing a set of request
CT_IUs and response CT_IUs supported by the Application Server.
For an Application Server request, the payload shall be transported from the requestor to the Application Server using
a request CT_IU. The corresponding Application Server response is transported from the Application Server to the
requestor, in exchange established by the requestor, using a response CT_IU.
The request codes described in Application Server codes are based on Section 6.9.2.2 (CT_IU preamble values) of FC-
GS-8 dated December, 2015.

Fibre Channel Protocol Information

The Fibre Channel Protocol information refers to the following:
Well-Known Ordered Sets

A transmission word that uses 8B/10B mapping and begins with the K28.5 character. Ordered sets occur outside of
frames and include the following items:
• Primitive signals: Indicate events.
• Frame delimiters: Mark frame boundaries and describe frame contents.
• Primitive sequences: Indicate or initiate port states.
Ordered sets are used to differentiate Fibre Channel control information from data frames and to manage the transport of
frames. The supported Ordered Sets is Point-to-Point Link.
Point-to-Point Link: Primitive Signals

The point-to-point link primitive signals in the following table indicate switch events.
Table 103: Point-to-Point Link: Primitive Signals

Well-Known Addresses
In the Fibre Channel protocol, a Well-Known Address is a logical address defined by the Fibre Channel standards as
assigned to a specific function, and stored on the switch.
Table 106: Well-Known Addresses
Well-Known Address Description
0xFFFFFF BROADCAST - Frames transmitted to this address are broadcast

to all operational N_Ports.
0xFFFFFE FABRIC_F_PORT- A Fabric is required to support this address to
accept Fabric login (FLOGI) requests from an F_Port or FL_Port
associated with an N_Port or group of NL_Ports on an arbitrated
