100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
MESSAGE: Open table full. Too many driver users.
2710 CLAS0001 CAUSE: Too many subsystems are attempting to open the driver at the
same time, or subsystems are shutting down without closing the driver
(“Cause”= maximum number of driver opens allowed).
ACTION: The driver allows 11 simultaneous opens. It was not opened
by the additional subsystem. Shut down any networking subsystems
that are not currently needed and try again.
A side-effect of this error may be that the driver becomes unusable; if
so, run VGPBA and execute the Reset function to see if that restores
normal operation.
MESSAGE: Cannot send a port message.
2740 CLAS0001 CAUSE: While starting up the link, the driver attempted to request
ADA memory from the MPE I/O system, but encountered an error
trying to send a memory request message to the I/O Memory Port
(“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to send_msg).
ACTION: This is a fatal software error. The driver cannot operate the
adapter card without ADA memory. After reporting this error, the
driver will return a configuration error, then die and wait to be shut
down; the configuration routine should shut it down automatically.
The problem can be caused either by lack of memory or by a bug. If you
suspect high memory usage and have the GLANCE tool, run it and
check system memory usage. If usage is high, try closing some
applications or subsystems, then retry link startup. If the problem
persists, shut down the system to clear memory, then reboot but try
starting the link earlier, before too many other applications get going.
If still low on memory, you may need to add more memory hardware.
First, however, Hewlett-Packard can try to determine if more memory
would help, or if instead there is a bug. Use NMMGR to make sure all
logging classes are enabled for the link type, for disk logging. Reproduce
the problem, then collect all NM log files (NMLG####.PUB.SYS) and see
Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.
MESSAGE: Cannot send a port message.
2770 CLAS0001 CAUSE: While shutting down the link, the driver attempted to free
ADA memory previously obtained from the MPE I/O system, but
encountered an error trying to send a memory request message to the
I/O Memory Port (“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to send_msg).
ACTION: This is a warning that some memory resources may have
been lost. The driver will attempt to continue. Unless this happens
frequently, the system should continue to run.
