100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
6260 CLAS0001 CAUSE: While a 100Base-T link was connected, the driver received a
notification the link may be down, but when it went to check, it
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.
ACTION: If a power failure has actually occurred, this error can be
ignored; the driver should recover automatically. Otherwise, the MII
bus may have failed; replace the adapter card. If the same problem
persists, see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”.
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
7010 CLAS0001 CAUSE: While beginning a 10Base-T connect sequence on a
100VG-AnyLAN adapter card, the driver started to reset the PHY chip,
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 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: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
7040 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, after resetting the PHY chip, the driver attempted to
check if the reset had finished, but encountered an error trying to read
from the generic status register on the chip (“Cause”= 32-bit status
from the call to vg_mii_read16). Most likely a powerfail has occurred.
ACTION: If a power failure has actually occurred, this error can be
ignored; the driver should recover automatically. Otherwise, the MII
bus may have failed; replace the adapter card. If the same problem
persists, see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
7070 CLAS0001 CAUSE: During a 10Base-T connect sequence on a 100VG-AnyLAN
adapter card, the driver found the PHY chip was not reset yet, and
started to reset it again, 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 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.
