100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
used to wait again for the PHY reset to finish; 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: Adapter card PHY did not finish reset in the time allowed.
5810 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 100Base-T connect sequence, the driver tried 3 times
to reset the PHY chip, but it still did not go “ready” after the reset
(“Cause” is not used here).
ACTION: This is a fatal hardware error. Replace the adapter card.
The driver cannot connect the link if the PHY will not reset. The driver
will enter a “broken” state and await a manual shutdown by the
operator. If you wish you may try running the VGPBA diagnostic and
attempt a reset, however it is unlikely this will fix the problem. If the
problem persists with a known good card, see Appendix A, “Submitting
an SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
5840 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 100Base-T connect sequence, after resetting the PHY
chip, the driver encountered an error while trying to read the PHY ID
(“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to vg_isr_init_phy_id). 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. Most likely there is
an adapter card hardware problem.
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
5870 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 100Base-T connect sequence, the driver told the PHY
to connect or autonegotiate, then encountered an error while trying to
stop and release a timer (“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to
vg_start_timer). This timer was used to wait for the link-up signal
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,
