Error Reason Action
LAN Interface Name The “interface name” is
extracted from the OTS
subnet configuration. If
the device is not open, it
may have the wrong
value configured (or no
value).
Check the parameter
lanX_if_name from the
top of the osidiag output
and verify that this
interface exists using the
lanscan command.
open() Opens the DLPI stream
device. Device file
/dev/dlpi may not exist.
Create device file using
mkdev(1M) command.
getmsg (DL_BIND_ACK) Used to set up various
options for LAN access.
Possible errors:
*Setting SSAP. Sets Link
Service Access Point. Will
fail if it is currently in use
by another osidiag
process or by OTS.
If OTS is running, make
sure OTS will not be
started when the system
comes up and reboot the
system to perform this
command.
