Appendix B: Error and Log File Messages 343

PSFS Filesystem Messages

If you receive a panic message from the PSFS filesystem, report it to

PolyServe Technical Support at your earliest convenience. Then reboot

the affected server to recover from the error condition.

Distributed Lock Manager Messages

The Distributed Lock Manager (DLM) generates error messages if it

detects that a filesystem operation will block indefinitely because of an

internal error. The DLM also generates error messages if the dlm process

is failing. If you receive one of these errors, report it to PolyServe

Technical Support at your earliest convenience.

The error messages have the following format:

time/date stamp:error:message text

Typically, you will need to reboot the affected server to recover from the

error condition.

SANPulse Error Messages

SANPulse sends two types of messages to the matrix.log file: error and

fatal.

Error messages have the following format:

[Error ] [<date and time>] SANPulse SERVERS Internal error: ...

These messages indicate that an internal error has occurred in the

SANPulse component. If you receive an error message, report it to

PolyServe Technical Support at your earliest convenience.

Fatal messages have this format:

[Fatal ] [<date and time>] SANPulse SERVERS

A fatal message indicates that Matrix Server has terminated on the

specified server. First attempt to restart Matrix Server on that server. If the

matrix software cannot be restarted, you will see another message asking

you to reboot the server. The message will remain in the Alert section of

the Management Console until either Matrix Server is restarted on the

rebooted server or the server is removed from the matrix.
