SDI Driver Specific Status Values
9980 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Adapter card reported an HP-PB fatal error.
CAUSE: The driver’s ISR module awoke to process a DVR request or an
interrupt, but after reading status from the HP-PB interface chip on
the adapter card, the driver discovered a fatal error bit had been set
(“Cause” = 32-bit status value read from the chip: HP use only).
ACTION: The driver already verified the bit was not set because of a
power failure. The HP-PB chip has signaled a fatal error.
The driver reused the buffer and dropped the received packet. Upper
layer protocols typically retransmit lost packets, so operation of the
system and applications should continue with only minimal
degradation.
There may be a hardware problem with the adapter card or the HP-PB
bus. Replace the adapter card.
If the same problem still occurs, there could be excessive activity on the
HP-PB bus the card is attached to. Under heavy DMA load, the HP-PB
chip might encounter a timeout while trying to complete an HP-PB
slave transaction, and post a fatal error. Try to reduce other bus activity
by pausing applications. If the system has multiple HP-PB buses, move
the card to a less active bus.
If the problem persists, there may be a hardware problem with the
HP-PB bus itself. Contact your Hewlett-Packard Representative for
assistance in determining paths or correcting bus hardware problems.
If the problem still cannot be traced to bus hardware, see Appendix A ,
“Submitting a CR.”
