Actual exam question for Network Appliance's NS0-593 exam
Question #: 55
Topic #: 2
A system panic due to an "L2 watchdog timeout hard reset" error occurred. You have found a FIFO message in the SP log.
Which FIFO message Is useful for Investigating this Issue?

Suggested Answer: A Vote an answer

= The FIFO message before NMI is useful for investigating the issue because it shows the state of the system before the non-maskable interrupt (NMI) was triggered by the L2 watchdog timeout. The FIFO message contains information about the CPU registers, the stack pointer, the instruction pointer, and the last executed instructions. This can help identify the cause of the system hang or deadlock that led to the watchdog reset. The other FIFO messages are not useful because they show the state of the system after the reset or shutdown, which may not reflect the original problem.
