B-31
17 ZRPC-EVT-PORTMAP-ERR
ZEMS-TKN-EMPHASIS
is a header token that contains the value ZSPI-VAL-FALSE, indicating that this 
event is not critical.
ZRPC-TKN-PMAPPROC
is the name of the portmapper procedure that is being invoked, or the procedure 
number in the request if the number does not correspond to one of these valid 
portmapper RPC procedures:
ZRPC-TKN-IP-ADDR
is the IP address, in dotted decimal notation (d.d.d.d), of the remote RPC host 
that sent the invalid request.
Cause.  The portmapper received an invalid RPC request from the indicated host. The 
request is probably invalid because of in-transit data corruption of the request or 
because of programming errors in the RPC client program running on the specified 
host.
Effect.  The invalid request is rejected.
Recovery.  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed. Occasional 
random occurrences of this message might be caused by transient data errors. 
However, if this error occurs frequently:
1. Find the contents of the RPC request causing this event by using a local area 
network (LAN) analyzer to trace requests being sent to the portmapper. If the 
request is valid on the LAN, report this to your system manager as a malfunction in 
the portmapper or Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) 
software. If the request is invalid on the LAN, determine whether the message is 
being corrupted as it is transferred through gateways and routers or if the client 
software on the originating host is generating an invalid request.
2. Contact your HP representative and provide all relevant information:
•
Descriptions of the problem and accompanying symptoms
•
Details from the generated messages
•
Supporting documentation such as Event Management Service (EMS) logs, 
trace files, and a saveabend file, if applicable
If your local operating procedures require contacting the Global Customer Support 
Center (GCSC), supply your system number and the numbers and versions of all 
related products as well.
