DESCRIPTION

The errpt command reads a specified error file or files, processes the data,
and writes a report of that data to standard output.  These error files are
named file.0 or file.1, but do not include the .0 or .1 extension when you
specify the file name argument.  The errpt command adds the extension.  If you
do not specify a file name, the errpt command uses the file listed in the file
/etc/rasconf, adding the .0 and .1 extensions (these are usually
/usr/adm/ras/errfile.0 and /usr/adm/ras/errfile.1).  The default report is a
summary of all errors posted in the named file, as well as system information
events, such as time changes, system starts, and so on.

The errpt command pipes error entries through the program /usr/lib/errpd, which
adds probable cause information to certain entries.  If no probable cause
information is added, the errpt command logs records exactly as it receives
them.

FLAGS

-a             Produces a detailed report.  This report contains specific error
               information for every event that the errpt command formats.

-d  list       Limits the report to certain types of error records as defined
               by list.  The list items can either be separated by commas or
               enclosed in double quotation marks and separated by commas or
               blanks.  See "Error Identifiers" for the valid list values.

-e  date       Includes all records posted earlier than date, where date has
               the form MMddhhmmyy (month, day, hour, minute and year).

-s  date       Includes all records posted later than date, where date has the
               form MMddhhmmyy.

ERROR IDENTIFIERS

In the following error identifiers, 0 acts as a wildcard character, such that,
for example, H00 gives you all hardware errors (H11 to HFF), and H10 gives you
all errors from H11 to H1F, and so on.

The following identifiers can be used in conjunction with the -d option to
report only those errors for a given class.  For example:

  errpt -d s00

generates a report containing only software errors.

  1. Class

       H00 = Hardware (01)
       S00 = Software (02)
       I00 = IPL/Shutdown (03)
       G00 = General System Condition (04)
       U00 = User Defined, Non-Hardware

errpd

The error log analysis program, /usr/lib/errpd, analyzes the error log data.
This program processes error data to determine if the error is a hardware error
and if the error is a temporary or permanent error.

FILES

/usr/adm/ras/errfile?   Error file.

RELATED INFORMATION
