100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
5990 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 100Base-T connect sequence, the driver found the
link was not connected yet, but encountered an error while trying to get
or reset a timer (“Cause”= 32-bit status from the call to
vg_start_timer). This timer was to be used to wait again for the link
connect 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: Hub did not report link up within time allowed.
6020 CLAS0001 CAUSE: If this error occurs, it is because the link did not connect within
25 to 30 seconds after it was instructed to do so.
ACTION: Verify that the cable is securely connected to the adapter card
at one end, and to a 100Base-TX or 10Base-T hub at the other.
Verify the cable is a correctly wired, Category-5 UTP cable. Category 3
or 4 cables are not acceptable.
If a crossover cable is being used, make sure it is correctly wired, and
that you have software version A00550B0 or later.
Check the configuration of the hub or switch port to which the adapter
card is connected. Adjust that configuration and, if necessary, use
NMMGR to adjust the configuration of the link, so that something will
match. If necessary, specify a forced speed and duplex setting, and
disable autonegotiation, at both ends.
MESSAGE: Timeout while awaiting link autonegotiation completion.
6050 CLAS0001 CAUSE: The link appears to be connected, but the driver thinks it is
still waiting for it to connect.
ACTION: This error should not occur. If it happens frequently, see
Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
6080 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 100Base-T connect sequence after the link came up,
the driver attempted to check the final connect settings, but
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.
