hotplugd Daemon Diagnostics
Messages in the System Log File
The following messages are logged in the system log file, /var/adm/syslog/syslog.log. If an Attention
Button event occurs after the daemon has been terminated following a successful start of the daemon, the
messages are logged in the system log file.
Could not allocate memory for PCI I/O Attention Button event
A chunk of memory, used for storing the Attention Button event information, could not be
allocated.
The event is dropped after the power LED is set to PWR_RAIL mode. That is, the power
LED will be set to ON if the power to the slot is ON, or the power LED will be set to OFF if
the power to the slot is OFF.
Could not add the event to the queue, dropping AB event
The queue has not been initialized (daemon not running) or the queue is under flow control.
The queue can go into flow control if the queue already has maximum number of events.
Currently the maximum is 128.
The event is dropped after setting the power LED to PWR_RAIL mode (see previous
message). Wait until the Attention Button events are processed by the daemon.
Dropping AB event, slotId not found in the registered slotIds
The Attention Button event was received on a slot ID that has not been registered (during
the system bootup) with the kernel OLAR module.
The event is dropped after setting the power LED to PWR_RAIL mode (see previous
message). Contact your HP response center.
Could not get the slot information for PCI I/O Attention Button event : slotId ,
olar_error_no = olarErrMsg
The call to get the slot information failed. olarErrMsg gives the reason for the error.
This results in an invalid PCI OL* event to the daemon.
hotplugd daemon (pid= pid ) is shutting down... dropping AB event : slotId
The system is clearing the attention button events in the queue due to the abnormal
termination of the daemon (for example, with the SIGKILL signal (see kill (1)) and there are
pending attention button events in the queue.
Setting the power led to PWR_RAIL mode failed : slotId , olar_error_no = olarErrMsg
Setting the power LED to PWR_RAIL mode failed. The system sets the power LED to
PWR_RAIL mode while clearing Attention Button events from the queue, triggered by the
abnormal termination of the hotplugd daemon (for example, with the SIGKILL signal (see
kill (1)).
