100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
ACTION: Typically preceded by another error giving better information
about the original cause; check log data for that error and look it up
also. This error is mainly informational, since the driver did not dump,
but may be indicative of other, possibly-related problems. The driver
will still attempt to auto-reset itself, up to a total of 12 times or more.
MESSAGE: Cannot get a system timer.
2210 CLAS0001 CAUSE: The driver attempted to get a system timer from I/O Services
but encountered an error (“Cause”= 32-bit status returned by the call to
io_get_timer). This is either caused by exhausting all timers due to
heavy system load, or by system software either failing to release
timers, or having some other bug.
ACTION: This is a fatal software error. The number of available timers
is not configurable, and the driver cannot operate without the necessary
timers. After reporting this error, the driver will die, then will either
attempt an auto-reset or else require a manual shutdown and restart.
Typically followed by another error giving more information about what
kind of timer the driver needed; check log data for that error and look it
up also.
If you suspect a heavy load, you can try shutting some processes down,
then restart the driver. Otherwise use Control-B at the console to halt
the system, take a memory dump, and reboot. See Appendix A,
“Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Cannot reset a system timer.
2240 CLAS0001 CAUSE: The driver attempted to reset a system timer previously
obtained from I/O Services but encountered an error (“Cause”= 32-bit
status returned by the call to io_reset_timer). This is likely caused
by a bug in system software, or by corruption of the driver’s PDA
context memory.
ACTION: This is a fatal software error. The driver cannot operate
without all necessary timers. After reporting this error, the driver will
die, then will either attempt an auto-reset or else require a manual
shutdown and restart. If the problem persists, use Control-B at the
console to halt the system, take a memory dump, and reboot. See
Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Cannot free a system timer.
2270 CLAS0001 CAUSE: The driver attempted to release a system timer previously
obtained from I/O Services but encountered an error (“Cause”= 32-bit
status returned by the call to io_release_timer). This is likely
caused by a bug in system software, or by corruption of the driver’s PDA
context memory.
ACTION: This is a warning that some timer resources may have been
lost. The driver will attempt to continue. Unless this happens
constantly, the system should continue to run. Possibly followed by
