DNS Error Numbers Following are descriptions of the DNS errors by numbers. These error numbers are
the values returned in the SPI status parameter on calls to SPI procedures.
0: ZDNS-ERR-NOERR The requested operation was successful. The response buffer may still contain
standard DNS error lists that contain warning information.
1: ZDNS-ERR-CMD-ERR The name server does not support the command specified when the requester called
SSINIT to initialize the request buffer. A simple error list is included with this error.
2: ZDNS-ERR-DUP-ALIAS An attempt to add a typed alias has failed because the subsystem manager or object
already has an alias of that type. The response buffer contains a standard DNS error
list that refers to the field containing the name of the alias type.
3: ZDNS-ERR-DUP-
COMPONENT
The same component has been specified twice for a composite object or type. The
response buffer contains a standard DNS error list that refers to the first subsystem-
object type field that is a duplicate of an earlier one.
4: ZDNS-ERR-DUP-NAME An attempt has been made to add a name already in the DNS database. The response
buffer contains either a standard DNS error list, referring to the field that contains the
duplicate name, or a DNS name error list, if the duplicate name does not appear
explicitly in a request parameter.
5: ZDNS-ERR-DUP-SSNUM An attempt to add a subsystem has failed because the subsystem number specified is
already used by another subsystem within the same owner. The response buffer
contains a standard DNS error list, referring to the subsystem number field.
6: ZDNS-ERR-DUP-
TYPENUM
An attempt to add a type name has failed because the type number specified is already
used by another type within the same owner (and subsystem, in the case of subsystem-
object types). The response buffer contains a standard DNS error list referring to the
type-number field.
7: ZDNS-ERR-ILL-CMD-OBJ The object type specified is not legal for the requested command. A simple error list is
included in the response buffer.
8: ZDNS-ERR-ILL-FIELD-
COMB
The requester has specified an illegal combination of values in a structured request
token. The response buffer contains a standard DNS error list, referring to the first
field that contains a value that is incompatible with the contents of the preceding
fields.
9: ZDNS-ERR-ILL-NUM-
COMPONENTS
More than eight components were specified for a composite object or type. A simple
error list is included in the response buffer.
10: ZDNS-ERR-ILL-NUM-
SUBSYSTEMS
More than 128 subsystems were specified for a subsystem manager. A simple error
list is included in the response buffer.
11: ZDNS-ERR-ILL-NUM-
SYSTEMS
More than 254 systems were specified for a domain. A simple error list is included in
the response buffer.
