Cluster I/O Protocols (CIP) Configuration and Management Manual (H06.16+, J06.05+)

Effect
That CLIM is not accessible from that NonStop host system processor.
Recovery
Make sure the version of software running on the NonStop host system and the CLIM are correct
and match with each other. Otherwise, if the problem is resources related and persists for an
extended period of time, reboot the CLIM.
Origin “ITAPI” Fault Code 8197
Cause
An attempt to establish the IT-API connection between the NonStop host system processor and
a CLIM has failed. ErrorDetail2 information within the EMS event specified the cause of failure
in communication.
• ErrorDetail2 = 1 indicates a connectivity problem between the NonStop host processor and
the CLIM.
• ErrorDetail2 = 5 indicates the IT-API transport library on the CLIM cannot create the necessary
data structure.
• ErrorDetail2 not present is the same as ErrorDetail2 = 0 and indicates the CLIM process is
not running on the CLIM.
Effect
That CLIM is not accessible from that NonStop host system processor.
Recovery
• For ErrorDetail2 = 1, make sure that the correct CLIM hardware is connected at the correct
locations. If the CLIM hardware is correctly connected, check to see if the CLIM is operational,
the CLIM driver is loaded and the CLIM processes are running (by using the climstatus
command) and start CLIM processes if necessary. If CLIM software processes are not running
due to excessive failure, make sure the original failure was attended to, then issue the clim
clearlog command followed by the clim reboot command to put the CLIM back in an
operational state.
• For ErrorDetail2 = 5, the CIP subsystem should automatically attempt to reestablish the IT-API
connection. If the problem persists, CLIM reboot is recommended.
• For ErrorDetail2 not present, which is the same as ErrorDetail2 = 0, make sure the CLIM
processes are running (by using the climstatus command) and start CLIM processes if
necessary. If CLIM software processes are not running due to excessive failure, make sure
the original failure was attended to and then issue the clim clearlog followed by the clim
reboot command to put the CLIM back in an operational state.
Origin “ITAPI” Fault Code 8198
Cause
The IT-API connection between the NonStop host system processor and the CLIM has been broken.
This is most likely caused by failure of the ServerNet connection or failure of the CLIM.
Effect
That CLIM is not accessible from that NonStop host system processor.
Recovery
None. The CIP subsystem should automatically try to re-establish the IT-API connection. If the
underlying problem persists, the IT-API connection establishment attempt will likely fail. In that
case, the problem is likely to show up as CLIM Transient Fault event (5201) with ITAPI fault code
of 8197. Please follow the recovery action for that fault code in that situation.
