100VG-AnyLAN and HP-PB 100Base-T Error Messages
SDI Driver Specific Status Values
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
a CR.”
5840 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
CAUSE: During a HP-PB 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.
5870 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a software problem.
CAUSE: During a HP-PB 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,
the system should continue to run, and the driver will probably retry
the connect. If the problem happens every time, see Appendix A ,
“Submitting a CR.”
5900 CLAS0001 MESSAGE: Driver encountered a hardware problem.
CAUSE: During a HP-PB 100Base-T connect sequence, the driver
attempted to check for presence of a link signal, 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.
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 a CR.”
