100VG-AnyLAN and 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
ACTION: If a power failure has actually occurred, this error can be
ignored; the driver should recover automatically. If the problem
happens every time, see Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: (None)
9890 (None) CAUSE: 100VG-AnyLAN link training failed because, after the LAN
Controller chip reported a status interrupt, the driver tried to read the
generic register on the PHY chip, but detected an error. A hardware
failure state was then signaled. Probably a powerfail occurred.
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: (None)
9920 (None) CAUSE: 100VG-AnyLAN link training failed because the LAN
Controller chip reported a status interrupt, then when the driver tried
to read the channel parameter register from the chip, a powerfail was
detected instead. A hardware failure state was then signaled.
ACTION: If a power failure has actually occurred, this error can be
ignored; the driver should recover automatically. Otherwise, the
adapter card may have failed, or there may be a driver bug causing the
adapter checks. Replace the adapter card.
If the same problem continues to occur, use NMMGR to modify the
LINK configuration for this link, to enable link tracing at startup.
Reproduce the problem, then shut down the link and save the resulting
NMTCnnnn.PUB.SYS trace data file for analysis by Hewlett-Packard.
See Appendix A, “Submitting an SR.”
MESSAGE: (None)
9950 (None) CAUSE: 100VG-AnyLAN link training failed because the LAN
Controller chip unexpectedly reported running out of receive buffers. A
hardware failure state was then signaled.
ACTION: If thedriver was already low on receive buffers at the time the
link was trying to reconnect, this error may be ignored; the driver
should retry the link connect automatically.
Note that exhausting all receive resources would be a highly unusual
condition. If all receive resources have really been exhausted, network
load may be extremely high, and/or the HP-PB bus may be preventing
frames from being returned to the card in a timely manner.
There could be a hardware or configuration problem with the
100VG-AnyLAN hub or switch. Check the wiring. Try plugging the card
into a different port on the hub or switch. Replace the transceiver
module in the switch if it has one. If this does not solve the problem,
replace the adapter card.
