Preface

This document lists and describes the system messages for Cisco NX-OS software. The system software
sends these messages to the console (and, optionally, to a logging server on another system) during
operation. Not all messages indicate a problem with your system. Some messages are purely
informational, while others might help diagnose problems with links, internal hardware, or the system
software.
This document includes system messages for all CiscoNX-OS software releases.
This chapter includes the following sections:
• Audience, page xvii
• Organization, page xvii
• Document Conventions, page xviii
• Documentation Feedback, page xviii
• Obtaining Documentation and Submitting a Service Request, page xix

Introduction to System Messages for Cisco
NX-OS

This chapter describes system messages, as defined by the syslog protocol (RFC 3164). It describes how
to understand the syslog message format and how to capture system messages for review.
This chapter contains the following sections:
• System Log Message Format, page 1-1
• Capturing System Messages and History, page 1-5

System Log Message Format


System log messages begin with a percent sign (%) and are displayed in the following formats:
• Syslog Format On a Resident Switch, page 1-1
• Syslog Format On a Remote-Logging Server, page 1-3

Syslog Format On a Resident Switch


The format for a resident syslog is:
month dd hh:mm:ss switchname facility-severity-MNEMONIC description
or
month dd hh:mm:ss switchname facility-SLOTnumber-severity-MNEMONIC description
or
month dd hh:mm:ss switchname facility-STANDBY-severity-MNEMONIC description

For example:
Nov 1 14:07:58 excal-113 %MODULE-5-MOD_OK: Module 1 is online
Nov 1 14:07:58 excal-113 %PORT-3-IF_UNSUPPORTED_TRANSCEIVER: Transceiver for interface
fc1/13 is not supported
.

Table 1-1 System Log Message Format Description

Element Description
month dd The date and month of the error or event
hh:mm:ss The time of the error or event

System Log Message Format

Table 1-1 System Log Message Format Description (continued)

Element Description
switchname The name of the switch
facility The facility of the error or event (daemon, kernel, VSHD, or other facility)
severity Single-digit code from 0 to 7 that indicates the severity of the message
MNEMONIC Text string that uniquely describes the system message
%$VDC #%$ An optional virtual device context (VDC) ID that appears in the description for
messages requiring VDC IDs
%$VRF #%$ An optional virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) ID that appears in the
description for messages requiring VRF IDs
description Text string containing detailed information about the event being reported

FACILITY is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that indicate the facility to which the
system message refers. A facility is a hardware device, a protocol, a feature, or a module of the system
software.
System message SEVERITY codes range from 0 to 7 and reflect the severity of the condition. The lower
the number, the more serious the situation. Table 1-2 lists the severity levels.

Table 1-2 System Message Severity Levels

Level Description
0 – emergency System unusable
1 – alert Immediate action needed
2 – critical Critical condition
3 – error Error condition
4 – warning Warning condition
5 – notification Normal but significant condition
6 – informational Informational message only
7 – debugging Appears during debugging only

MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the system message.


Message-text is a text string that describes the condition. This portion of the message might contain
detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses
that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the information in these
variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in
square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec].
Table 1-3 lists the representations of variable fields and the type of information in the fields.

Table 1-3 Representation of Variable Fields in System Messages

Representation Type of Information


[dec] Decimal number
[hex] Hexadecimal number

System Log Message Format

Table 1-3 Representation of Variable Fields in System Messages

Representation Type of Information


[char] Single character
[chars] Character string

The following example system message shows how the variable field might be used:
%MODULE-5-MOD_MINORSWFAIL: Module [dec] reported a failure in service [chars]
In this example,
Facility code =MODULE (indicating that it is a module-specific error)
Severity =5 (notification)
Alarm/event code= MOD_MINORSWFAIL
Description of the problem= Module [dec] reported a failure in service [chars]
[dec] is the module slot number associated with this message.
[chars] is the service name that experienced this failure.
System log messages begin with a percent sign (%) and are displayed in the following format (see
Table 1-4).

Syslog Format On a Remote-Logging Server

System Log Message Format

Table 1-4 System Log Message Format Description (continued)

Element Description
%$VDC #%$ An optional virtual device context (VDC) ID that appears in the description for
messages requiring VDC IDs
%$VRF #%$ An optional virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) ID that appears in the
description for messages requiring VRF IDs
description Text string containing detailed information about the event being reported

FACILITY is a code consisting of two or more uppercase letters that indicate the facility to which the
system message refers. A facility is a hardware device, a protocol, a feature, or a module of the system
software.
System message SEVERITY codes range from 0 to 3 and reflect the severity of the condition. The lower
the number, the more serious the situation. Table 1-5 lists the severity levels.

Table 1-5 System Log Message Format description

Level Description
0 – emergency System unusable
1 – alert Immediate action needed
2 – critical Critical condition
3 – notification Normal but significant condition

MNEMONIC is a code that uniquely identifies the system message.


Message-text is a text string that describes the condition. This portion of the message might contain
detailed information about the event, including terminal port numbers, network addresses, or addresses
that correspond to locations in the system memory address space. Because the information in these
variable fields changes from message to message, it is represented here by short strings enclosed in
square brackets ([ ]). A decimal number, for example, is represented as [dec].
Table 1-6 lists the representations of variable fields and the type of information in the fields.

Table 1-6 Representation of Variable Fields in System Messages

Representation Type of Information


[dec] Decimal number
[hex] Hexadecimal number
[char] Single character
[chars] Character string

The following example system message shows how the variable field might be used:
%AUTHPRIV-3-SYSTEM_MSG: AUTHPRIV [dec] reported a failure in service [chars]
In this example,
Facility code =AUTHPRIV (indicating that it is a authpriv-specific error)
Severity =3 (notification)

Alarm/event code= SYSTEM_MSG


Description of the problem= Authpriv [dec] reported a failure in service [chars]
[dec] is the module slot number associated with this message.
[chars] is the service name that experienced this failure.

Capturing System Messages and History


The system messages are displayed instantly on the console, by default, or are redirected to an internal
log file, or a syslog server. System message severity levels correspond to the keywords assigned by the
logging global configuration commands. These keywords define where and at what level these messages
appear (see to the Cisco NX-OS System Management Configuration Guide). Only system messages that
correspond to the configured logging level or higher severity messages are logged. As an example, if
you set the logging level to 3 (error), then you get error, critical, alerts, and emergency system messages,
but you do not get warning, notification, informational, or debugging system messages.
For complete information about handling system messages, see the Cisco NX-OS System Management
Configuration Guide, Release 4.1.

Saving the System Messages Log


The logging logfile global configuration command enables copying of system messages to an internal
log file and optionally sets the size of the file. To display the messages that are logged in the file, use
the show logging EXEC command. The first message displayed is the oldest message in the buffer. To
clear the current contents of the buffer, use the clear debug-logfile command.

Logging System Messages to a Syslog Server


The logging host-name command identifies a syslog server host to receive logging messages. The
host-name argument is the name or Internet address of the host. By issuing this command more than
once, you build a list of syslog servers that receive logging messages. The no logging host-name
command deletes the syslog server with the specified address from the list of syslog servers.

Error Message STP-2-PVSTSIM_FAIL: Blocking [chars] port [chars]: Inconsistent


[chars] PVST BPDU received on VLAN [dec], claiming root [chars]

Explanation When a MST switch is connected to a PVST+ switch, the CIST (MST00) information
on the port of the MST switch must be consistently better than all the PVST+ messages if the port
is designated or consistently worse than all the PVST+ messages if the port is root. If this constraint
is not respected, the port on the MST switch is blocked in order to prevent a potential bridging loop

Recommended Action When STP is converging after a new switch, or switch port is added to the
topology, this condition may happen transiently. The port unblocks automatically in such cases. If
the port remains blocked, identify the root bridge as reported in the message, and configure a worse
or better priority for the VLAN spanning tree consistent with the CIST role on the port of the MST
switch. There could be more inconsistencies than the message indicates, and the port will not
recover until all such inconsistencies are cleared. If you cannot determine which other VLANs have
inconsistencies, disable and reenable the port. This message will appear again and specify another
VLAN with inconsistencies to be fixed. Repeat this process until all inconsistencies on all VLANs
are cleared.

Error Message STP-2-PVSTSIM_OK: PVST Simulation inconsistency cleared on port
