SDI Driver Specific Status Values
perform a dump of all host context data structures and adapter card
memory, then reset itself and continue. This error is not meaningful
without the accompanying “Cause” status. Locate and decode that
“Cause” to determine the next action to take (see sublocation 9470
discussion for more information).
57 ($39) MESSAGE: MII read error on adapter card.
CAUSE: During a link connect, disconnect, or management operation,
the driver attempted to read from an MII hardware register in a PHY
chip on the adapter card, but the read failed to return the proper
acknowledgment bit. This indicates good data was not returned.
ACTION: MII reads can be sensitive to software timing. If you have
GLANCE or a similar tool, run it and check the CPU load on the
system. If the load is high, try reducing the CPU load, then retry the
operation. If the problem persists, the adapter card has probably failed;
replace the adapter card.
58 ($3A) MESSAGE: EEPROM read error on adapter card.
CAUSE: During link startup or a diagnostic operation, the driver
attempted to read from an EEPROM chip on the adapter card, but the
read failed to return one of the necessary acknowledgment bits. This
indicates good data was not returned.
ACTION: EEPROM reads can be sensitive to software timing. If you
have GLANCE or a similar tool, run it and check the CPU load on the
system. If the load is high, try reducing the CPU load, then retry the
operation. If the problem persists, the adapter card has probably failed;
replace the adapter card.
59 ($3B) MESSAGE: EEPROM write error on adapter card.
CAUSE: During a diagnostic operation, the driver attempted to write to
an EEPROM chip on the adapter card, but the write failed to return one
of the necessary acknowledgment bits. This indicates the data was not
written properly.
ACTION: EEPROM writes can be sensitive to software timing. If you
have GLANCE or a similar tool, run it and check the CPU load on the
system. If the load is high, try reducing the CPU load, then retry the
operation. If the problem persists, the adapter card has probably failed;
replace the adapter card.
60 ($3C) MESSAGE: Adapter card PHY did not finish reset in the time allowed.
CAUSE: During a link connect sequence, the driver tried 3 times to reset
the PHY chip, but it still did not go “ready” after the reset.
ACTION: This is a fatal hardware error. Replace the adapter card. The
driver cannot connect the link if the PHY will not reset. If the problem
persists with a known good card, see Appendix A , “Submitting a CR.”
