PCI 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
ACTION: Check the log file for additional errors related to a specific
sublocation in the code, and look up those sublocation errors for more
specific information, see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
101 ($65) MESSAGE: Link common reported a protocol unbind problem.
CAUSE: Varies. The driver encountered an error condition when
attempting to unbind from an upper layer protocol.
ACTION: Check the log file for additional errors related to a specific
sublocation in the code, and look up those sublocation errors for more
specific information. The link may be shutting down or may perform an
auto-reset as part of the error recovery. If the problem persists, see
Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
105 ($69) MESSAGE: General buffer manager error encountered.
CAUSE: The driver encountered an unexpected error either from the
buffer manager (such as when trying to copy received loopback data to a
return buffer), when calling the Link Common module to do a buffer
related operation (such as refill an inbound buffer cache), or when
obtaining a required buffer.
ACTION: Depending on the error, the driver may attempt to continue,
however some data may not have been transferred, a protocol may now
be low on buffers, etc. If the error did not prevent driver startup, try
stopping and restarting the network. If the problem persists, see
Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
106 ($6A) MESSAGE: General error trying to get a buffer.
CAUSE: When attempting to directly obtain a new buffer manager
buffer from a read pool, to replenish the inbound buffer cache for one of
its bound protocols, the driver’s ISR encountered an error that was not
one of the few legal errors it expected, or was able to handle.
ACTION: The problem could indicate some serious internal problems
within the buffer manager or its data structures, or with the way the
system is configured. Note all log messages, especially the “Cause”
status for this error, and see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.” If the
problem persists, take a system memory dump immediately after the
problem has occurred.
107 ($6B) MESSAGE: Cannot create a buffer pool.
CAUSE: During a link-open operation by an upper level subsystem, the
link module configurator encountered an error while trying to create an
outbound buffer pool or control buffer pool.
ACTION: The system may be low on available memory. Try stopping
some applications or sessions and retry the operation. If the problem
persists, stop all networking and restart it, or restart the system. The
buffer size and pool size are not configurable. If the problem still occurs,
there could be a problem with the buffer manager. See Appendix A ,
