SDI Driver Specific Status Values
about what kind of comm the driver was trying to send; check log data
for that error and look it up also. Collect binary copies of all
NETDMP##.PUB.SYS dump files on tape for analysis by Hewlett-Packard
and see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
152 ($98) MESSAGE: Driver initialization failed.
CAUSE: While processing its very first startup message, the driver
encountered a problem. Probably the configured hardware is not
present, is not the correct kind of adapter card, or there was a problem
configuring the ISR into the I/O system.
ACTION: This informational error should be preceded by another error
giving a more specific reason for the failure; check log data for that
error and look it up also, for more actions to take. The driver will
attempt to send an error reply for the startup request. It then enters a
“broken” state and awaits a shutdown, which the module configurator
should attempt automatically.
154 ($9A) MESSAGE: Configuration failed.
CAUSE: This is a generic error, reported after successful or unsuccessful
completion of initial hardware startup, if the driver encountered an
error bringing up the adapter card, or when opening the link, or while
attempting to send the reply to a pending configuration request from its
module configurator.
ACTION: This is a fatal software error. It might be caused by a bad
adapter card, by having too many driver users, by a heavy CPU load, or
by attempting to operate the network subsystem or tool which started
the link at too low of a CPU process priority, causing a timeout. Any
condition, such as a timeout or abort, which causes the driver’s module
configurator to cease awaiting the reply and dispose of its reply port,
might also cause this error. The driver now “dies” and awaits a
shutdown, which the module configurator should attempt
automatically.
160 ($A0) MESSAGE: Heartbeat timeout. Adapter card appears to be hung.
CAUSE: The LAN controller chip on the adapter card has failed to
produce any interrupt from normal activity for over 5 seconds. It has
also failed, for an additional 5 seconds, to respond to the driver’s
inquiry by producing a test interrupt. The driver has decided the card is
dead or hung.
ACTION: This is a fatal hardware error. Replace the adapter card. The
driver will enter a “broken” state and await a manual shutdown by the
operator. If you wish you may try running the VGPBA diagnostic and
attempt a reset. If the problem persists with a known good card, see
Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
