100VG-AnyLAN and HP-PB 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
ACTION: None. This error can be ignored. Power failures can occur at any
moment. The driver was executing at the moment power failed. Power then
returned, and the driver ran to completion, noticing this error along the way.
Upon exit, the driver was then officially notified of a powerfail by MPE. The
driver then attempted powerfail recovery, and should now be operating the
same as before.
3040 CLAS0001 MESSAGE 1: Powerfail detected.
CAUSE: During a 100VG-AnyLAN link connect attempt, the driver
attempted to request a training interval from the hub, but detected all
1’s on an MII hardware register read, indicating a powerfail had
already occurred. The driver was trying to read from a PHY control
register before writing back to it, when the powerfail or error occurred.
ACTION: None. This error can usually be ignored. Power failures can occur
at any moment. The driver was executing at the moment power failed. Power
then returned, and the driver ran to completion, noticing this error along the
way. Upon exit, the driver was then officially notified of a powerfail by MPE.
The driver then attempted powerfail recovery, and should now be operating
the same as before.
The link did not connect. If you suspect power did not really fail but the
problem persists, the adapter card may be faulty. If retrying the connect
does not help, replace the adapter card.
3040 CLAS0001 MESSAGE 2: MII read error on adapter card.
CAUSE: During a 100VG-AnyLAN link connect attempt, the driver
attempted to request a training interval from the hub, but its read from
an MII hardware register on the adapter card failed to return the
proper acknowledgment bit.
ACTION: The link did not connect. MII reads can be sensitive to software
timing. If you have GLANCE or a similar tool, run it and check the CPU load
on the system. If the load is high, try reducing the CPU load, then retry the
connect. If the problem persists, the adapter card has probably failed; replace
the adapter card.
3070 CLAS0002 MESSAGE 2: Link connected.
CAUSE: The first upper layer subsystem to bind to the driver triggered a
link connect, which was successful (“Mode” = the connection mode:
100VG, 100Base-TX, or 10Base-T “Duplex” = Full or Half). This event is
also logged after the link or cable has been successfully reconnected
after being disconnected, or on a link reconnect following a hub retrain,
severe line-hit, power failure, or other recoverable error.
ACTION: This event is informational only.
No action is needed unless the message appears frequently while the
link is up, indicating possible cabling problems; make sure cabling is
securely connected and properly routed away from sources of
interference, and is of the proper UTP category or grade for the type of
