3.1.2 Matrix Server Administration Guide

Appendix B: Error and Log File Messages 280

panpulse will not provide service until the required

interface flags (UP, RUNNING, BROADCAST, MULTICAST) are set

on interface <ethn>. See ifconfig(8).

IPv4

Only IPv4 is supported. If another address family is specified for the

network, PanPulse will report an error such as the following:

Interface <ethn> has addrtype AF_INET6, skipping

Separate Networks

Each network interface card must be on a separate network. If this is not

the case, PanPulse will report the following error:

Interface <ethn> will not be used by panpulse because it

exists on the same network as interface <ethn>. This

configuration is not supported by PolyServe Matrix Server.

Port 8940

Only one instance of PanPulse can be running on port 8940 on a server. If

another application is using that port or another instance of PanPulse is

started, the following error will be reported.

Unable to bind on port 8940. Please make sure that this is

the only copy of panpulse running on this server.

mxinit Messages

mxinit prints a series of messages when it cannot complete an operation.

For example, mxinit must unmount all PSFS filesystems before it shuts

down Matrix Server. If a filesystem is busy, it cannot be unmounted.

mxinit will then issue a message about the filesystem, followed by

additional messages stating that mxinit could not complete the various

steps involved in shutting down Matrix Server.

Similarly, if mxinit cannot start Matrix Server because, for example, the

system is out of resources, you will see a series of messages reporting that

start-up actions could not be completed.
