NNM0070 LINK FROM NNMid TO linkname NOW INACTIVE
Cause. An INMC link that was operational has just become inactive.
NNMid is the ID of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system.
linkname is the name of the INMC link.
Effect. Software components such as ROC and ISR that wish to make use of the now
inactive link are no longer able to do so.
Recovery. If the link became inactive as a result of LINK STOP or LINK RESET, then
this message is informational only; no recovery action is necessary.
If the link failure was expected, for example because the remote side was stopped or
because a modem was disconnected, then no recovery is required. The link will be
automatically reactivated when the cause of the failure is resolved.
If the link failure was unexpected, then you must investigate the reason. Use tools
such as SCF to examine the state of the underlying communications system.
NNM0071 INMC PROTOCOL VIOLATION ON LINK= linkname
Cause. A serious violation of the INMC protocol was detected. This can happen when
the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system has been connected to incompatible software
that does not support the NonStop NET/MASTER MS INMC protocol.
linkname is the name of the INMC link on which the violation occurred.
Effect. The link is considered faulty and cannot be used. The link status is
unpredictable. Although the link will still show as ACTIVE on a SHOW LINKS
display, it cannot be used because of the fault.
Recovery. Manual recovery is required. A LINK STOP or a LINK RESET command
must be issued followed by a LINK START command.
Validate that the remote system supports the INMC protocol and that it is connected
through the correct physical devices on both ends of the link.
If the problem persists, then an SCF trace must be taken and the matter should be
reported to your Tandem support representative. You must also provide a copy of the
link configuration and your SCF and SYSGEN configuration of the relevant line(s) and
device(s).
