SDI Driver Specific Status Values
that error also, for more actions to take. If a power failure has occurred,
this error may be ignored; the driver will soon attempt to recover.
Otherwise, 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.
7890 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: While attempting to logically disconnect the link, the driver
encountered a problem (“Cause” = 32-bit status from the call to
Pbt_isr_call_phy_state_machine). Probably a power failure or
system timer problem has occurred.
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. If a power failure has occurred,
this error may be ignored; the driver will soon attempt to recover.
Otherwise, 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.
7920 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: While processing a disconnect request, the ISR detected that
upper level subsystem(s) were still rendezvoused to the driver. It tried
to set a “wake up” PHY timer to try to reconnect the link once the timer
popped, but it was unable to allocate a system timer (“Cause” = 32-bit
status from lnk_timer_start).
ACTION: This is an information message; the driver can not reconnect
the link without successfully setting the PHY timer. The link may need
to be manually shut down and restarted; if the problem persists, there
could be a shortage of system timers. Try the operation again when
fewer applications are running.
7950 CLAS0001 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 (“Cause” is not used here).
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.”
