100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
7310 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, the driver requested a test interrupt, then encountered
an error while trying to get or reset a timer (“Cause”= 32-bit status
from the call to vg_start_timer). This timer was to be used to verify
the test interrupt arrives; the driver cannot connect the link if a PHY
timer cannot be started. If this error is reported, it is because the driver
has already encountered some other error.
ACTION: Typically preceded by another error message giving better
information about the original cause; check log data for that error and
look it up also. The driver did not dump, but will still attempt to
auto-reset itself, up to a total of 12 times or more. If the problem
persists, the system may be low on timers; try stopping some
applications before retrying again.
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
7340 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, the driver received the expected test interrupt, but
encountered an error while trying to stop and release a timer (“Cause”=
32-bit status from the call to vg_stop_timer). This timer was used to
wait for the test interrupt to arrive. If this error is reported, it is
because the driver has already encountered some other error.
ACTION: This is a warning that some timer resources may have been
lost. The link did not connect. Typically preceded by another error
message giving better information about the original cause; check log
data for that error and look it up also. Unless this happens constantly,
the system should continue to run, and the driver will probably retry
the connect. If the problem happens every time, see Appendix A,
“Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: An expected PHY interrupt did not arrive.
7400 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, the driver requested a test interrupt from the PHY chip,
but received a timeout instead (“Cause” is not used here). The driver
cannot connect the link if PHY interrupts do not work.
ACTION: Replace the adapter card. The link did not connect. If the
problem persists with a known good card, see Appendix A, “Submitting
an SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
7430 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, the driver received the expected link-connected interrupt,
but encountered an error while trying to stop and release a timer
(“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to vg_stop_timer). This timer
was used to wait for any interrupt to arrive. If this error is reported, it
is because the driver has already encountered some other error.
