Purpose

Formats SRN and create DAVars object with error log information.

Syntax

#include <diag/diag_log.h>
int save_davars_ela(struct fru_bucket *frub,uint el_seq,uint el_id,uint 
errorCode)

Description

The save_davars_ela subroutine formats the SRN if the errorCode is 0, and create a DAVars object containing the error log information. The format of the DAVars object is:

DAVars:
dname = ResourceName
vname = "ErrorLogSRN_or_ErrorCode"
vtype = 0
vvalue = "ErrorlogIdentifier,ErrorlogSequenceNumber"
ivalue = 0

An example of a DAVars object is:

DAVars:
dname = "hdisk0"
vname = "ErrorLog689-130"
vtype = 0
vvalue = "1581762B,74"
ivalue = 0

Parameters

Parameter	Description
*frub	Pointer to fru bucket
el_seq	Error log sequence number
el_id	Error log identifier
errorCode	Error code (if 0, format the SRN)
