100VG-AnyLAN and HP-PB 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
7700 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
CAUSE: While a 10Base-T link on a 100VG-AnyLAN adapter card was
connected, the driver received a notification the link may be down, but
when it went to check, it encountered an error trying to read from the
generic status register on the PHY chip (“Cause” = 32-bit status from
the call to vg_mii_read16). Most likely a powerfail has occurred.
ACTION: If a power failure has actually occurred, this error can be
ignored; the driver should recover automatically. Otherwise, the MII
bus may have failed; replace the adapter card. If the same problem
persists, see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
7820 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: After attempting to connect the link, the driver’s ISR module
determined the link did come up, then encountered an error trying to
notify the DVR module of the connect (“Cause” = 32-bit status from the
call to vg_isr_copy_send_to_dvr). Probably no comm frame was
available.
ACTION: This informational error should be preceded by another error
giving a more specific reason for the failure; check log data and look up
that error also, for more actions to take. Most likely the previous error
was fatal and the driver is about to “die”, then will either attempt an
auto-reset or else require a manual shutdown and restart. The driver
stopped trying to connect the link.
7830 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: (
Varies)
CAUSE: This is a generic logging location which reports the driver is
having trouble connecting the link. The message varies depending on
what the problem is.
After trying repeatedly for 25–30 seconds to connect the link, the
driver’s ISR module determined the link did not come up
(“Cause” = 32-bit status from giving the reason the latest attempt
failed, also explained in the Message).
ACTION: This is a warning only. It only appears once, and will not
appear again until the link is shut down and restarted.
This informational error should be accompanied by a message specific
to the problem. For some reason, the link is not connecting successfully.
Verify that the cable is securely connected to the adapter card at one
end, and to a 100Base-TX or 10Base-T hub at the other.
Verify the cable is a correctly wired, Category-5 UTP cable. Category 3
or 4 cables are not acceptable.
If a crossover cable is being used, make sure it is correctly wired, and
that you have software version A00550B0 or later.
