C Messages
This appendix describes all messages generated by RDF. The subsystem produces
three general types of messages:
•
RDF messages, reported at any time by RDF and directed to the configured EMS
event log (collector)
•
RDFCOM messages, reported during your RDFCOM sessions and directed to your
terminal or alternate output device
•
RDFSCAN messages, reported during your RDFSCAN sessions and directed to
your terminal or alternate output device
About the Message Descriptions
In each message description presented in this appendix, the following information
appears:
•
Message number (RDF messages only)
•
Message text
•
Error codes and parameters—explanations of variables that indicate specific error
details, files, devices, and other elements that appear within the message text
•
Cause—the condition or error that produced the message
•
Effect—the effect of the condition or error on the system
•
Recovery—the steps required to recover from a reported error
Some messages include information from the operating system’s file system. When
present, this information, typically a numeric code, appears in the error# or number
parameter in the message description. For the meaning of this code and related
information, see the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual and
the Operator Messages Manual.
Many messages include file names that identify objects such as disk files and
processes. When present, these names appear in the message descriptions as
parameters such as filename or procname. Sometimes, these messages simply report
syntax errors that result from improperly specifying these file names in commands. For
more information about file names and the rules that govern them, see the discussion
“File Names and Process Identifiers” near the beginning of Section 8, and the
Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual.
You can also receive messages from the NonStop™ Kernel operating system. See the
Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual and the Operator Messages
Manual for information about those messages.
