100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
ACTION: The problem could indicate some serious internal problems
within the buffer manager or its data structures, or with the way the
system is configured. Note all log messages, especially the “Cause”
status for this error, and see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”. If the
problem persists, take a system memory dump immediately after the
problem has occurred.
MESSAGE: Cannot create a buffer pool.
107 ($6B) CAUSE: During a link-open operation by an upper level subsystem, the
link module configurator encountered an error while trying to create an
outbound buffer pool or control buffer pool.
ACTION: The system may be low on available memory. Try stopping
some applications or sessions and retry the operation. If the problem
persists, stop all networking and restart it, or restart the system. The
buffer size and pool size are not configurable. If the problem still occurs,
there could be a problem with the buffer manager. See Appendix A,
“Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Cannot delete a buffer pool.
108 ($6C) CAUSE: During a link-close operation by an upper level subsystem, the
link module deconfigurator encountered an error while trying to delete
an outbound buffer pool or control buffer pool.
ACTION: This is an informational warning that some system memory
resources may have been lost. Probably not all buffers were freed before
the pool was deleted. If this happens every time, see Appendix A,
“Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
115 ($73) CAUSE: This is a generic software error, reported when any of the
driver’s non-hardware routines reports an error. By itself it is not
descriptive of the problem. This error is often seen as a result of
previous errors from intrinsics, reply messages, or validity checks.
ACTION: When this error occurs as a result of previous errors, it mainly
serves as a way to track the sequence of the failure back to what was
happening at the time. Check for those errors and look them up for an
additional explanation of the problem.
MESSAGE: Internal driver error.
116 ($74) CAUSE: While processing a request, the link driver encountered a
problem indicating there is something internally wrong with some
other module of system software. Specific instances include: range or
bounds violation errors while storing or clearing a statistics buffer.
ACTION: This is an indication of a bug in the link software. If possible,
note exactly what actions caused the error to occur, then see Appendix
A, “Submitting an SR.”
