100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
(“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to vg_stop_timer). This timer
was used to wait for the link to connect. 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: Driver encountered a software problem.
7670 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, after the link failed to connect, the driver started a retry,
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 link to connect. 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: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
7700 CLAS0001 CAUSE: While a 10Base-T link on a 100VG-AnyLAN adapter card was
connected, the driver received a notification the link may be down, but
when it went to check, it encountered an error trying to read from the
generic status register on the PHY chip (“Cause”= 32-bit status from
the call to vg_mii_read16). Most likely a powerfail has occurred.
ACTION: If a power failure has actually occurred, this error can be
ignored; the driver should recover automatically. Otherwise, the MII
bus may have failed; replace the adapter card. If the same problem
persists, see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
7820 CLAS0001 CAUSE: After attempting to connect the link, the driver’s ISR module
determined the link did come up, then encountered an error trying to
notify the DVR module of the connect (“Cause”= 32-bit status from the
call to vg_isr_copy_send_to_dvr). Probably no comm frame was
available.
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. Most likely the previous error
