CHAPTER 8. SYSTEM BACKUP FOR DEFINITY G3r
Error Conditions
The following is a list of all error messages displayed to the user. If any of these error conditions
can be attributed to hardware failures or disk/tape configuration problems, they will be logged
with the maintenance subsystem. Error messages that are caused by a user entering improper
command operations will not be logged with the maintenance subsystem; the user is notified of
the error.
For each error message listed, an identifier is provided which indicates where on the screen the
message will occur. If (M) is shown next to the error code, the error message will appear on the
message line. If (W) is shown next to the error code, the error message will appear as command
output.
A failure can occur on either processor in a duplicated system. When the error is displayed, it is
associated with the processor on which the error was encountered.
