Nexus 7000 Platform Logging

CARL LINDAHL
Level 1
Level 1

Hello,

We recently had a power supply failure in one of our Nexus 7000s, and I noticed that the syslog for the Platform is only present in the default VDC, and not in any of the other VDCs syslogs. Is this by design, or is there a logging level I can turn up in another VDC to capture this log? Thanks for any input

syslog from default VDC -

2013 Mar 18 23:10:34  %PLATFORM-2-PS_CAPACITY_CHANGE: Power supply PS3 changed i

ts capacity. possibly due to power cable removal/insertion (Serial number xxxxxxxx)

nothing in the VDC where I would like to get the logging

default VDC logging level -

xxx7K02# show log level platform

Facility        Default Severity        Current Session Severity

--------        ----------------        ------------------------

platform                5                       5

0(emergencies)          1(alerts)       2(critical)

3(errors)               4(warnings)     5(notifications)

6(information)          7(debugging)

loggging from the specific VDC where we have management tools.

xxx-LOW# show log level platform

Facility        Default Severity        Current Session Severity

--------        ----------------        ------------------------

platform                5                       5

0(emergencies)          1(alerts)       2(critical)

3(errors)               4(warnings)     5(notifications)

Hello Carl,

What version of code are you running on your Nexus 7k?

The expected behavior is:

"When a hardware issue occurs, syslog messages are sent to all VDCs."

We have four of the N7Ks all running 5.2(3a) and they all exhibit the same behavior.

Software

  BIOS:      version 3.22.0

  kickstart: version 5.2(3a)

  system:    version 5.2(3a)
