About messages

Message types and organization.

Three types of messages are issued to you from the user interfaces and supporting software:

• Informational messages are identified by the letter "I" at the end of the message identifier. They provide information about activities as they take place. For instance, an informational message might report that a volume was successfully created. No user action is necessary.
• Warning messages are identified by the letter "W" at the end of the message identifier. They warn that activities might have consequences that you do not anticipate. Warning messages normally provide the opportunity to continue an activity or to cancel it.
• Error messages are identified by the letter "E" at the end of the message identifier. They indicate that an error has occurred. Refer to the explanations and recommended actions in this document to resolve the problem.

The messages in this document are grouped by the reporting interface or software:

• Framework message identifiers are prefixed by the letters "CMMC" and "CMUF". The framework is the basic software that supports your user interface.
• Command-line interface message identifiers are prefixed by the letters "CMUC" and "CMUD".
• DS Storage manager message identifiers are prefixed by the letters "CMUG", "CMUI", "CMUL", "CMUR" and "CMUS".
• Storage management console server message identifiers are prefixed by the letters "CMUN".

For scripting, the message identifier remains constant in content and position. The remainder of the message is subject to change without notification. Do not use any portion of the message other than the message identifier for customer defined scripts.
