627    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Internal resource
                    error

                    Cause:  While stopping an NI because a network
                    was being shut down, NETCP encountered an error
                    trying to delete a mapping table it had
                    previously created for the NI (PARM = 32-bit
                    status returned by the call to
                    map_create_table).

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown continued.  However, depending on the
                    error, the amount of system memory used by the
                    table and its secondary tables be inaccessible
                    until the next system restart.  If the problem
                    occurs repeatedly, see "Submitting an SR" in
                    appendix A of this manual.

628    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While attempting to stop one of the
                    devices on an existing NI, NETCP disconnected
                    the device at the MAP level, then encountered an
                    error trying to send a device stop message to
                    the NI (PARM = 32-bit status returned by the
                    call to send_msg).

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown may continue.  However, some versions
                    of Transport may hang if this problem occurs,
                    requiring a system restart to recover.  On a non
                    critical terminal, attempt a :NETCONTROL STATUS
                    command; if results are reported, then try
                    restarting the network.  If the network restarts
                    but the problem returns, see "Submitting an SR"
                    in appendix A of this manual.

629    CLAS0002     Message:  PACKET DISCARD; Late reply

                    Cause:  During processing of a Path Verify
                    operation on behalf of some other Transport
                    module because of a possible problem or change
                    in state of a certain network, NETCP sent Path
                    Verify request messages to all the general
                    protocols, but failed to receive a reply from
                    one of them within a 15-second timeout period
                    (PARM = 32-bit port number of the general
                    protocol module which failed to reply).  One of
                    these errors will appear for each module that
                    fails to reply.

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    NETCP processing continued.  This can mean
                    either that a temporary Path Verify storm is
                    occurring because a heavily used link has
                    failed, or it can mean there is a problem with
                    the general protocol module.  In addition, if
                    the reply ever does arrive, NETCP will probably
                    discard it, but may instead get confused if it
                    arrives while awaiting some other reply.  If the
                    problem persists, first look for previous errors
                    678 or 679.  The PARM for these would contain
                    the interface code from the reply, and should
                    tell HP what module was sending to CP. If this
                    does not help, you can still determine which
                    module by restarting the network and taking note
                    of all port numbers printed on the console when
                    Transport starts up, and the modules which
                    printed those ports.  Then when the next error
                    629 occurs, match those port numbers with the
                    PARM value printed for the error.  Afterward see
                    "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual,
                    to report a problem against the general protocol
                    module which is failing to reply.

630    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While processing a Path Verify operation
                    because NETCP detected a possible problem or
                    change in state of a certain network, or because
                    of a Path Verify message received from IPU in
                    response to a redirect packet IPU received from
                    a GATEWAY, NETCP encountered an error trying to
                    send a Path Verify message to one of the general
                    protocols (PARM = 32-bit status returned by the
                    call to send_msg).

                    Action:  This error was not fatal; messages were
                    sent to all the other general protocols, and
                    NETCP will not expect a reply for the send that
                    failed.  However, the affected protocol module
                    will not be aware there may be a problem with
                    the path, and may continue to try to use it.  If
                    NETCP tracing was active, the tracefile will
                    show the message which could not be sent, and
                    the interface code in that message will indicate
                    which module was not accessible.  If the problem
                    happens frequently, see "Submitting an SR" in
                    appendix A of this manual.

631    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While processing a Path Verify operation
                    because NETCP detected a possible problem or
                    change in state of a certain network, or because
                    of a Path Verify message received from IPU in
                    response to a redirect packet IPU received from
                    a GATEWAY, NETCP encountered an error trying to
                    send a path verify message to the ICMP Server
                    module of Transport (PARM = 32-bit status
                    returned by the call to send_msg).

                    Action:  This error was not fatal; messages were
                    sent to all the general protocols, and NETCP
                    will not expect a reply to the send that failed.
                    However, the ICMP Server module will not be
                    aware there may be a problem with the path, and
                    may continue to try to use it.  In addition,
                    PING commands from NETTOOL may report errors
                    against the affected network.  If the problem
                    persists, see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A
                    of this manual.

632    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While processing a :NETCONTROL STOP
                    command or a system shutdown, NETCP encountered
                    an error trying to send a DCN stop message to
                    the IPU module of Transport (PARM = 32-bit
                    status returned by the call to send_msg).  A DCN
                    stop message is required for a Directly
                    Connected Network such as X25.

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown may continue.  However, some versions
                    of Transport may hang if this problem occurs or
                    if the IPU module initially failed to start (see
                    error 654), requiring a system restart to
                    recover.  On a non critical terminal, attempt a
                    :NETCONTROL STATUS command; if results are
                    reported, then try restarting the network.  If
                    the network restarts but the problem returns,
                    see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                    manual.

633    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While attempting to send a device stop
                    message to notify the DIAL module that an
                    existing ROUTER network was being shut down,
                    because of a :NETCONTROL DELLINK command or a
                    previous asynchronous link error, NETCP
                    encountered an error on the send (PARM = 32-bit
                    status returned by the call to send_msg).

                    Action:  The error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown of this network probably continued,
                    ending with deletion of this instance of the
                    DIAL module.  However, DIAL was not notified the
                    device has stopped, which may have caused more
                    errors if it happened to run again before it was
                    deleted.  In addition, some versions of
                    Transport may hang if this problem occurs,
                    requiring a system restart to recover.  On a non
                    critical terminal, attempt a :NETCONTROL STATUS
                    command; if results are reported, then try
                    restarting the network.  If the network restarts
                    but the problem returns, see "Submitting an SR"
                    in appendix A of this manual.

634    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While processing an asynchronous event
                    message from the DCLDM indicating that its LAPB
                    PSI link either experienced a problem related to
                    autodial, or else that an autodial succeeded,
                    NETCP encountered an error trying to send a
                    reply message back to DIAL telling the type of
                    event that occurred (PARM = 32-bit status
                    returned by the call to send_msg).

                    Action:  DIAL did not receive the reply message,
                    and will be unaware of the results of the
                    autodial operation.  It may take up to 30
                    minutes for DIAL to time out and reset itself,
                    and during this delay, new autodial connections
                    cannot be established, and sessions which
                    attempt it may hang.  To clear this condition,
                    first try a :NETCONTROL DELLINK=linkname;
                    NET=niname command against the affected link,
                    followed by a :NETCONTROL ADDLINK=linkname;
                    NET=niname.  If this does not help, a system
                    restart will probably be required to clear the
                    hang.  If the problem occurs again, take a dump
                    when the error is reported and before any
                    attempts to recover, and see "Submitting an SR"
                    in appendix A of this manual.

635    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Internal resource
                    error

                    Cause:  NETCP received an asynchronous exception
                    event message from a link driver, but no device
                    having the SDI link ID in that message was found
                    in NETCP's device tables (PARM = 32-bit SDI
                    device ID from the message).

                    Action:  Either the driver or NETCP are
                    confused.  Though NETCP may continue working,
                    the affected network will most likely hang,
                    possibly requiring a system restart to recover.
                    See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                    manual.

636    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While attempting to send a debug message
                    to one of the Transport protocol modules in
                    response to a :NETCONTROL DIAG command, NETCP
                    encountered an error on the send (PARM = 32-bit
                    status returned by the call to send_msg).

                    Action:  This error was not fatal, and NETCP
                    continued running.  However, the desired module
                    did not receive its debug message, and will not
                    respond as expected.  If the problem persists,
                    see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                    manual.

637    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While processing a :NETCONTROL DELLINK
                    command, and trying to send a DCN stop message
                    to the IPU module of Transport because at least
                    one network link was active, NETCP encountered
                    an error on the send (PARM = 32-bit status
                    returned by the call to send_msg).  A DCN stop
                    message is required for a Directly Connected
                    Network such as X25.

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    the operation may continue.  However, some
                    versions of Transport may hang if this problem
                    occurs or if the IPU module initially failed to
                    start (see error 654), requiring a system
                    restart to recover.  On a non critical terminal,
                    attempt a :NETCONTROL STATUS command; if results
                    are reported, then try restarting the network.
                    If the network restarts but the problem returns,
                    see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                    manual.

638    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While attempting to start all the
                    general protocols because a :NETCONTROL START
                    command was starting a new instance of
                    Transport, NETCP successfully started some
                    modules, then encountered an error trying to
                    initialize the NETIPC Socket Timers module (PARM
                    = 32-bit status returned by the call to
                    sk_ti_start).  May be preceded by another error
                    from NETIPC, logging the reason for the original
                    failure.

                    Action:  Newer versions of Transport treat this
                    as a fatal error, and Transport startup will
                    fail.  For older versions of Transport this
                    error was not fatal, and startup will continue,
                    but NETIPC and Sockets will not work correctly.
                    It is possible Socket Timers encountered an
                    unreported error during its last shutdown, and
                    exited early without finishing.  Try stopping
                    and restarting transport.  If the error still
                    happens, see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of
                    this manual.

639    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Bad/unknown port
                    message

                    Cause:  While waiting for a reply message, NETCP
                    received a message that was indeed a reply, but
                    the function code in the message was not the
                    expected value (PARM.(0:16) = the function code
                    that was expected and PARM.(16:16) = interface
                    code of received message).

                    Action:  It is not possible to tell from the
                    console logging what function code NETCP
                    received, however if disc logging was enabled,
                    the entire received message was logged, which
                    may aid debugging.  The flow of normal NETCP
                    operations has been interrupted, and a network
                    hang may be imminent, especially if new
                    :NETCONTROL commands are issued.  It may be
                    necessary to restart the system to clear this
                    problem.  See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A
                    of this manual.

640    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Data dictionary error

                    Cause:  While attempting to send a reply message
                    back to NETUI to complete the blocked
                    :NETCONTROL START command that initially created
                    NETCP, no entry named "NETUI" was found in the
                    CM Port Dictionary to identify which session
                    port number issued the command (PARM = 16-bit
                    result code returned by the call to dict_find).
                    Usually this means the user session which issued
                    the command has somehow been aborted.  The CM
                    Port Dictionary is an operating system lookup
                    service used by, but not part of, Transport.

                    Action:  If a system shutdown was being done,
                    ignore this message.  The network startup or
                    shutdown should run to completion, and other
                    network operations should continue to work
                    normally.  Otherwise, if it still exists, the
                    user session which issued the command (typically
                    the system console) may be hung.  Since it also
                    owns resources, it cannot be aborted, and a
                    system restart will be needed to recover.  You
                    may attempt a network stop on another terminal,
                    then restart the system and restart the network.
                    In some versions of Transport, if this error
                    occurs NETCP will accidentally send the reply to
                    a random port number, and the effects of this
                    are indeterminate.  If the same problem happens
                    again, see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of
                    this manual.

641    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Module Deconfig Failed

                    Cause:  While shutting down Transport due to a
                    system shutdown or a :NETCONTROL STOP command,
                    NETCP detected an error or warning while
                    attempting to stop the Net Timers module (PARM =
                    32-bit status returned by the call to
                    nettmr_module_deconfig).  Always preceded by
                    other errors from Net Timers, indicating the
                    cause of the original failure.

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown continued.  However, some system
                    resources may be lost until after the next
                    system restart.  One possible cause would be if
                    a tool has already been used to stop Net Timers,
                    in which case NETCP cannot stop it; in this case
                    ignore the error.  Inspect the previous error,
                    and if necessary, or if this problem occurs
                    repeatedly, see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A
                    of this manual.

642    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Module Deconfig Failed

                    Cause:  While stopping an NI due to a system
                    shutdown or a :NETCONTROL STOP command, NETCP
                    detected an error trying to delete the NI (PARM
                    = 32-bit escape code returned by the call to
                    ni_module_deconfig).  Always preceded by another
                    error from another entity (having a different
                    Entity number, such as 151-160), indicating the
                    cause of the original failure.

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown continued.  However, some system
                    resources may be lost until after the next

643    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Internal resource
                    error

                    Cause:  While stopping an NI because a network
                    was being shut down, NETCP tried to free a NIB
                    (Network Interface Block) it had previously
                    allocated for the NI, but was unable to locate
                    that NIB in other NETCP tables (PARM = 32-bit
                    address of the missing NIB).

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown continued.  However, NETCP may be
                    confused.  If the problem occurs repeatedly, see
                    "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

644    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Configuration file
                    error

                    Cause:  While initializing an NI for a network
                    that was being started, NETCP was unable to read
                    the global information record from the
                    NETXPORT.NI.name path in the NMCONFIG file (PARM
                    = 32-bit status returned by the call to
                    nmconfgetdata).

                    Action:  The NI did not start.  Stop the
                    network, run NMMGR, and check the NI
                    configuration for the NI which did not start.
                    Validate the file.  Then restart the network.
                    If the problem persists, the NMCONFIG file may
                    be corrupt, or there may be a bug in the NMS
                    subsystem, NMMGR, or NETCP; see "Submitting an
                    SR" in appendix A of this manual.

645    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Internal resource
                    error

                    Cause:  While stopping an NI because of a system
                    shutdown or a :NETCONTROL STOP command, NETCP
                    was unable to delete the port message pool it
                    previously created for that NI and its attached
                    protocols (PARM = 32-bit status returned by the
                    call to purge_pool).

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown continued.  However, some amount of
                    system memory that had been used by the message
                    pool may be inaccessible until after the next
                    system restart.  If this problem happens
                    repeatedly, there may be an operating system
                    problem or a bug in NETCP; see "Submitting an
                    SR" in appendix A of this manual.

646    CLAS0003     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; NM Entry

                    Cause:  While initializing a new NI for a
                    network that was being started, NETCP
                    successfully created a port message pool for use
                    by that NI and its attached protocols, but was
                    unable to put the pool ID into a new entity
                    named "IP-NI" in the NS Registry (PARM = 32-bit
                    status returned by the call to reg_add_entity).

                    Action:  This error was not fatal, and startup
                    continued; use of the Registry here is not
                    critical.  However, creation of the NS Registry
                    by NETCP may have failed (see error 285), or the
                    Registry may be full.  If the message occurs
                    every time, see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A
                    of this manual.

647    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Module Deconfig Failed

                    Cause:  While shutting down an NI due to a
                    system shutdown or a :NETCONTROL STOP command,
                    NETCP encountered an error while trying to stop
                    one of the NI specific protocols for that
                    network (PARM = 32-bit escape code returned by
                    the call to the module deconfigurator that
                    failed).  Always preceded by another error from
                    another entity (having a different Entity
                    number, such as 151-160), indicating the cause
                    of the original failure.

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown continued.  However, some system
                    resources may be lost until the next system
                    restart.  Inspect the previous error, and if
                    necessary see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A
                    of this manual.

648    CLAS0002     Message:  BUFFER MANAGER; Buffer manager error

                    Cause:  While reading the home node's path
                    report during initial NETCP startup, or while
                    starting some network specific protocols for a
                    LAN, GATEHALF or ROUTER network because a
                    :NETCONTROL command was issued, NETCP
                    successfully read local node name data from the
                    NMCONFIG file, then encountered an error trying
                    to write that data into a buffer it obtained a
                    short time earlier (PARM = 32-bit status
                    returned by the call to bmgr_write_buffer).

                    Action:  NETCP was unable to write all the
                    required data, and attempted to recover and free
                    the buffer.  The network operation that was
                    being performed will not work correctly.
                    Because the buffer given to NETCP by the buffer
                    manager should have been large enough to contain
                    all data that was to be written, there may be a
                    problem in either NETCP, the buffer manager, the
                    NMS subsystem, or NMMGR, or the NMCONFIG file
                    may be corrupt.  Stop the network and retry the
                    operation.  If the problem persists, see
                    "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

649    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  After successfully building a buffer
                    containing needed configuration data for an X25
                    network that was being started, NETCP
                    encountered an error trying to send the buffer
                    to the X25 protocol module (PARM = 32-bit status
                    returned by the call to send_msg).

                    Action:  X25 did not receive its configuration
                    data, though the rest of network startup
                    continued.  The X25 network will not operate
                    correctly in this condition.  In addition, the
                    buffer may have been lost, which may result in
                    error 613 when the network is stopped.  Try
                    stopping and restarting the network.  If the
                    problem persists, see "Submitting an SR" in
                    appendix A of this manual.

650    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Module Deconfig Failed

                    Cause:  During the final phases of shutdown
                    because of a :NETCONTROL STOP command or a
                    system shutdown, NETCP encountered and error
                    while attempting to stop the ICMP Server module
                    it previously started (PARM = 32-bit status
                    returned by the call to
                    icmp_server_module_deconfig).

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    shutdown continued.  However, any system
                    resources owned by the ICMP Server may be lost
                    until after the next system restart.  If this
                    problem occurs repeatedly, see "Submitting an
                    SR" in appendix A of this manual.

                    Cause:  While attempting to start all the
                    general protocols because a :NETCONTROL command
                    was starting a new instance of Transport, NETCP
                    encountered an error trying to start the TCP
                    protocol module (PARM = 32-bit status returned
                    by the call to tcp_module_config).  Always
                    preceded by another error from another entity
                    (having a different Entity number, such as
                    151-160), logging the reason for the original
                    failure.

                    Action:  None of the general protocols were
                    started, so Transport will not work.  Older
                    versions of Transport will improperly continue
                    the startup after this error, and may also hang
                    when stopped.  Record the previous error and
                    this error.  Stop the network.  If there is no
                    hang, then try restarting the network.  If the
                    problem persists, see "Submitting an SR" in

654    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Internal resource
                    error

                    Cause:  While attempting to start all the
                    general protocols because a :NETCONTROL command
                    was starting a new instance of Transport, NETCP
                    encountered an error trying to start the IPU (IP
                    Update) module (PARM = 32-bit status returned by

                    different Entity number, such as 151-160),
                    logging the reason for the original failure.

                    Action:  The general protocols were started, but
                    Transport will not work.  Older versions of
                    Transport will improperly continue the startup
                    after this error, however path resolution will
                    fail, and Transport may also hang when stopped.
                    Record the previous error and this error.  Stop
                    the network.  If there is no hang, then try
                    restarting the network.  If the error still
                    occurs, a common cause is that NMMGR "Unguided
                    Config" mode was, at some time in the past, used
                    to create the first NS configuration ever put
                    into the NMCONFIG file, and that a bug in the
                    Validation function of an earlier version of
                    Transport then corrupted a hidden record in that
                    file, which specifies IPU startup information.

                    If you suspect "Unguided Config" mode was used,
                    you can try to repair the hidden record.  First
                    make a copy of the old NMCONFIG file.  Then one
                    way to fix it is to purge and recreate the
                    entire file using "Guided Config" mode.  If your
                    file is complicated, you may first want to try
                    another way, which is to create a new dummy file
                    named, say, NMCONFGT, and using "Guided Config"
                    mode, configure any network NI (for instance, a
                    dummy LAN network).  Then reopen the original
                    NMCONFIG file and use the "Copy Subtree" utility
                    function to copy the NETXPORT.GPROT.IPU path,
                    out of the dummy NMCONFGT file and into
                    NMCONFIG, overwriting the existing subtree.
                    Then try restarting the network.  If the error
                    goes away, you can purge NMCONFGT. But if the
                    same error still happens, there may be more
                    corruption in the file than just that one
                    record; try recreating the entire file, but
                    using "Guided Config" mode wherever possible.

                    If, after recreating or attempting to repair the
                    file, the problem still persists, there is most
                    likely a bug in Transport; see "Submitting an
                    SR" in appendix A of this manual.

655    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Internal resource
                    error

                    Cause:  While attempting to start all the
                    general protocols because a :NETCONTROL command
                    was starting a new instance of Transport, NETCP
                    successfully started some modules, then
                    encountered an error trying to start the ICMP
                    (PING) Server module (PARM = 32-bit escape code
                    returned by the call to pxp_module_config).
                    Always preceded by another error from another
                    entity (having a different Entity number, such
                    as 151-160), logging the reason for the original
                    failure.

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    general protocol startup continued.  However,
                    the PING service will not be available, and
                    pings from other nodes will go unanswered.  To
                    clear the problem, stop then restart the
                    network.  If this problem persists, record the
                    previous error and this error, then see
                    "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

656    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Internal resource
                    error

                    Cause:  While attempting to start all the
                    general protocols because a :NETCONTROL command
                    was starting a new instance of Transport, NETCP
                    successfully started some modules, then
                    encountered an error trying to start the Net
                    Timers module (PARM = 32-bit status returned by
                    the call to nettmr_module_config).  Always
                    preceded by another error from Net Timers,
                    logging the reason for the original failure.

                    Action:  TCP and ARP will not work without
                    timers.  Some versions of Transport will
                    erroneously continue the startup after this
                    error.  Record the previous error and this
                    error.  Stop the network.  Then try restarting
                    the network.  If the problem still occurs, then
                    depending on the error, it is possible too much
                    frozen memory is being used by the system, but
                    this can change with time.  Use GLANCEXL or a
                    similar utility to check memory usage by the
                    system.  If memory is not the cause and the
                    problem persists even if retried after a
                    suitable waiting period, see "Submitting an SR"
                    in appendix A of this manual.

657    CLAS0002     Message:  Bad status

                    Cause:  While attempting to start all the
                    general protocols because a :NETCONTROL command
                    was starting a new instance of Transport, NETCP
                    successfully started some modules, then
                    encountered an error trying to create the Socket
                    Registry (PARM = 16-bit result code returned by
                    the call to sock_registry_create).  May be
                    preceded by another error from NETIPC, logging
                    the reason for the original failure.

                    Action:  Newer versions of Transport treat this
                    as a fatal error, and Transport startup will
                    fail.  For older versions of Transport this
                    error was not fatal, and startup will continue,
                    but NETIPC and Sockets will not work correctly.
                    It is possible the Socket Registry encountered
                    an unreported error during its last shutdown.
                    Try stopping and restarting transport.  If the
                    error still happens, see "Submitting an SR" in
                    appendix A of this manual.

658    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Internal resource
                    error

                    Cause:  While attempting to start all network
                    specific protocols, required for a given
                    network, such as IP, because a :NETCONTROL
                    command was issued, NETCP encountered an error,
                    either from a protocol's module configurator, or
                    while trying to rendezvous a protocol to the
                    link driver.  (PARM = 32-bit status returned by
                    the call to a module configurator, or from
                    cp_rendezvous_protocol).  May be preceded by
                    another error from another module, logging the
                    reason for the original failure.

                    Action:  The general protocols were started, but
                    the specified network did not start, and NETCP
                    attempted to stop the partially started network
                    and any network specific protocols which did
                    start.  Retry the operation.  If the problem
                    still occurs, stop and restart Transport.  If
                    the problem still persists, see "Submitting an
                    SR" in appendix A of this manual.

659    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Module Deconfig Failed

                    Cause:  After an error occurred while NETCP was
                    attempting to start network specific protocols
                    for a given network, NETCP attempted to clean up
                    by stopping any of those protocols which did
                    start, but then encountered another error when
                    calling a protocol module deconfigurator (PARM =
                    32-bit status returned by the call to a module
                    deconfigurator, or from cp_rendezvous_protocol).
                    Should always be preceded by other errors,
                    logging the reasons for the original failures.

                    Action:  This secondary error is not the main
                    concern, though it may indicate additional
                    problems.  The general protocols were started,
                    but the specified network failed to start
                    because of the first error.  Retry the
                    operation.  If the problem persists, see
                    "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

660    CLAS0002     Message:  INTERNAL ERROR; Data dictionary error

                    Cause:  While stopping an X25 network because of
                    a system shutdown, or a :NETCONTROL STOP command
                    for one or all networks, NETCP first stopped all
                    devices before stopping any protocols, then
                    encountered an error trying to delete a CM Port
                    Dictionary entry it had previously added to keep
                    track of one of the X25 device ports (PARM =
                    16-bit result code returned by the call to
                    dict_delete).  The CM Port Dictionary is an
                    operating system lookup service used by, but not
                    part of, Transport.  There should be one entry
                    per X25 device, named "X25.linkid", where
                    "linkid" consists of 4 unprintable bytes
                    defining the binary SDI link ID for that link,
                    dynamically assigned by the Link Support
                    Services subsystem.

                    Action:  This error in itself was not fatal, and
                    network shutdown continued.  No resources were
                    lost.  If the problem happens every time, see
                    "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.
