Events and error codes message references in IBM Storage Fusion HCI System

This reference information provides a consolidated view of all the events or error messages that can be displayed when the IBM Storage Fusion system might result in an event or an error.

About event or error messages

When you encounter an event or error message in a log or on other parts of the IBM Storage Fusion user interface, look up the event or error message by its prefix to find more information. Use the events and error messages to diagnose and solve problems when you troubleshoot the IBM Storage Fusion system.

Message prefix format

A message number format denotes the type of message and with which component it is associated with. The default prefix starts as BMY in the code, which is followed by one of these tags:
  • The compute node-related events tag is associated with CO in the message code.
  • The installation-related events tag is associated with IN in the message code.
  • The backup and restore-related events tag is associated with BR in the message code.
  • The network-related events tag is associated with NW in the message code.
  • The upgrade-related events tag is associated with UP in the message code.
  • The call home related events tag is associated with CH in the message code.
  • The disaster recovery-related events tag is associated with DR in the message code.
  • The hardware-related events tag is associated with XC in the message code.
  • The 4 digits after the tag denote the number of the event or error message. For example, 0000.
  • The Cumulus Network Switch events tag is associated to BMYCUxxxx in the message code.
  • The list of events that can open tickets tag is associated to BMYXC in the message code.
An example of a message prefix format is BMYCO0001.

Message severity tag

A severity tag is a one-character alphabetic code, followed by a message. You can determine the message severity by examining the text or by contacting the IBM® Support. To collect logs, see Collecting logs in IBM Storage Fusion.
Table 1. Message severity tags
Severity tag Message type Meaning
C CRITICAL Indicates a critical condition that must be corrected immediately. The system discovered an internal inconsistency of some kind. The system functioning might be halted or the system might attempt to continue despite the inconsistency. Report these errors to IBM® Support.
I INFORMATIONAL Indicates normal operation. This message by itself indicates that nothing is wrong; no action is required.
W WARNING Indicates a problem, but the system functioning continues. The problem can be a transient inconsistency. It can be that the action skipped some operations on some objects, or is reporting an irregularity that could be of interest.
