DC/LDM Logging Location Codes 

DC/LDM (Data Comm Logical Device Manager) is a module between
NS Transport and the LAP-B Driver, which helps provide NS over
point-to-point Router networks.

2      CLAS0000     Message:  Send_msg error

                    Cause:  While DC/LDM was attempting to send a message
                    to another module, for some normal purpose (other than
                    an error reply), the system routine send_msg reported
                    an error.

                    Action:  No message was sent.  DC/LDM is now "sick"
                    and cannot continue operating.  An asynchronous error
                    message was sent to all modules to which DC/LDM was
                    bound.  See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                    manual.

4      CLAS0000     Message:  A connect event has been received from the
                    lower manager

                    Cause:  This is not an error.  DC/LDM received a
                    connect-completion event message from one of the lower
                    level drivers bound to it.  This logs the fact the
                    link is now connected.

                    Action:  No action required.  An asynchronous event
                    message was sent to all modules to which DC/LDM was
                    bound.

12     CLAS0000     Message:  Unable to obtain a message frame from target
                    pool

                    Cause:  While DC/LDM was attempting to get a message
                    frame from another port, for use as an event or reply
                    message, the system routine get_ msg_ frame reported
                    an error.

                    Action:  DC/LDM is now "sick" and cannot continue
                    operating.  No message frame was obtained.  See
                    "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

15     CLAS0000     Message:  Write request is invalid in current state

                    Cause:  A write event was invalid, or DC/LDM is sick,
                    and a Compatibility mode write request was being
                    worked on.  Since that write cannot be completed,
                    DC/LDM notifies the CM sender, and logs the original
                    error.

                    Action:  See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                    manual.

16     CLAS0000     Message:  Send_msg error while issuing CM reply

                    Cause:  During error processing of an invalid write
                    event, DC/LDM encountered another error while trying
                    to send the Compatibility mode error reply message
                    back to the requester, when the system routine
                    send_msg reported an error.

                    Action:  No message was sent, so the CM module may not
                    be aware any problem has occurred.  This may affect
                    other operations on the network.  See "Submitting an
                    SR" in appendix A of this manual.

17     CLAS0000     Message:  Invalid CM request received in current state

                    Cause:  During error processing of an invalid write
                    event, DC/LDM discovered the message it was working on
                    was not a write event message.

                    Action:  The message should have been a write event,
                    so this indicates an internal bug in DC/LDM. See
                    "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

18     CLAS0000     Message:  Send_msg error while issuing NM reply

                    Cause:  While attempting to send an error reply
                    message back to the sender of an earlier Native mode
                    trace request or HLIO request, the system routine
                    send_msg reported an error.

                    Action:  No message was sent, so the sender may not be
                    aware any problem has occurred.  This may affect other
                    operations on the network.  DC/LDM is still operating.
                    See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

19     CLAS0000     Message:  Invalid NM request received in current state

                    Cause:  In attempting to send an error reply message
                    for an earlier HLIO request, DC/LDM hit a bug because
                    that request was not understood by the code which
                    sends the replies.

                    Action:  The request should have been understood, so
                    this indicates an internal bug in DC/LDM. No message
                    was sent, so the sender may not be aware any problem
                    has occurred.  This may affect other operations on the
                    network.  DC/LDM is still operating.  See "Submitting
                    an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

20     CLAS0000     Message:  Invalid event received in current state

                    Cause:  An invalid event message was received by
                    DC/LDM. Events cannot be replied to, but this logs the
                    bad state DC/LDM was in at the time the event was
                    received.

                    Action:  If this was a read event, its buffer was
                    freed; otherwise the event message was ignored.
                    DC/LDM is still operating.  See "Submitting an SR" in
                    appendix A of this manual.

22     CLAS0000     Message:  Error in releasing CM request write buffer

                    Cause:  During error processing of an invalid write
                    event, DC/LDM encountered another error while trying
                    to free the BMGR buffer referenced by the bad write
                    request message, but the system routine
                    bmgr_free_buffer reported an error.

                    Action:  DC/LDM will continue operating, but if this
                    situation continues, the network may run out of
                    buffers.  In addition, any subsequent network shutdown
                    may hang.  See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of
                    this manual.

23     CLAS0000     Message:  Error in releasing write buffer in current
                    state

                    Cause:  Upon entering into a "sick" state because of
                    some other problem, DC/LDM attempted to clean up after
                    the last message it received, in this case a read
                    event message, but in trying to free the buffer in
                    that message, the system routine bmgr_free_buffer
                    reported an error.

                    Action:  DC/LDM is in a "sick" state and cannot
                    continue operating.  In addition, one buffer may have
                    been lost, so any subsequent network shutdown may
                    hang.  See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                    manual.

24     CLAS0000     Message:  Internal error - invalid state

                    Cause:  After receiving a message instructing it to do
                    something, and figuring out what that message was,
                    DC/LDM discovered its current state was not a known
                    state.

                    Action:  DC/LDM is now "sick" and cannot continue
                    operating; probably its context memory has somehow
                    been overwritten.  DC/LDM also attempted to send an
                    asynchronous error message to all modules to which it
                    was bound, but if the context was indeed corrupt,
                    these may not have been sent.  Immediately take a
                    memory dump and see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A
                    of this manual.

25     CLAS0000     Message:  Invalid message was received and discarded

                    Cause:  DC/LDM received an input message which it did
                    not understand at all, and could not process.

                    Action:  The input message was ignored, and DC/LDM is
                    still operating.  However, whichever module sent the
                    bad message sent it to the wrong place, so there is a
                    problem in that other module.  See "Submitting an SR"
                    in appendix A of this manual.

27     CLAS0000     Message:  Insufficient frames for inbound packets -
                    packet discarded

                    Cause:  While processing a read event message from a
                    lower level driver, DC/LDM attempted to get a message
                    frame from the upper level NI port, but the system
                    routine get_msg_frame reported there were no message
                    frames available.

                    Action:  No message frame was obtained.  DC/LDM is
                    still operating, but the system is probably under a
                    very heavy load.  The inbound packet was dropped by
                    DC/LDM, and the remote will probably retransmit it
                    later.  No action is required.

33     CLAS0000     Message:  Asynchronous error event received from lower
                    manager

                    Cause:  DC/LDM received a fatal error notification
                    event message from a lower level LAN or LAP-B driver.
                    This logs the error status reported by that driver.

                    Action:  DC/LDM is still operating, but the driver is
                    probably not.  It has flushed (replied to) any pending
                    requests for the link which reported the error.  An
                    asynchronous error message was sent to all modules to
                    which DC/LDM was bound.  See "Submitting an SR" in
                    appendix A of this manual.

34     CLAS0000     Message:  Asynchronous warning event received from
                    lower manager

                    Cause:  DC/LDM received a nonfatal asynchronous
                    warning event message from a lower level LAN or LAP-B
                    driver.  This logs the status reported by that driver.

                    Action:  An asynchronous event message was sent to all
                    modules to which DC/LDM was bound.  DC/LDM is still
                    operating, but the driver may be having problems.  No
                    action required.

37     CLAS0000     Message:  Port error while obtaining message for
                    inbound packet

                    Cause:  While processing a read event message from a
                    lower level driver, DC/LDM attempted to get a message
                    frame from the upper level NI port, but the system
                    routine get_msg_frame reported an error other than a
                    lack of message frames.

                    Action:  No message frame was obtained.  The inbound
                    packet was dropped.  DC/LDM is now "sick" and cannot
                    continue operating.  See "Submitting an SR" in
                    appendix A of this manual.

38     CLAS0000     Message:  Write sap is invalid

                    Cause:  While processing a write request message from
                    NI, DC/LDM discovered the SAP to write to had not yet
                    been opened, but there was no reply port in the
                    message to notify about this situation.

                    Action:  DC/LDM is still operating.  The buffer in the
                    write message was freed, but since the reply port
                    number was unknown, no reply message was sent.  This
                    may or may not affect operations on the network or the
                    application.  If this problem persists, see
                    "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this manual.

39     CLAS0000     Message:  Error encountered during removal of DC/LDM

                    Cause 1:  While stopping the DC/LDM, an error occurred
                    when deleting a CM Port Dictionary entry or HLIO
                    device, when releasing a device, or because of a bad
                    DC/LDM state.

                    Action 1:  DC/LDM continued stopping, but this could
                    indicate a more serious problem in the High Level I/O
                    system or the DC/LDM. If the problem occurs every
                    time, see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                    manual.

                    Cause 2:  While flushing its port subqueues, DC/LDM
                    found an I/O request message on its port having a
                    nonzero buffer ID, but when trying to free the BMGR
                    buffer referenced by that message, the system routine
                    bmgr_free_buffer reported an error.

                    Action 2:  DC/LDM will continue stopping, but if this
                    situation continues, the network may run out of
                    buffers.  In addition, any subsequent network shutdown
                    may hang.  See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of
                    this manual.

40     CLAS0000     Message:  Error encountered in configurator module

                    Cause 1:  While starting the DC/LDM, an error occurred
                    when adding a CM Port Dictionary entry, reading the
                    LSS link table, loading a manager plabel, allocating
                    an HLIO device, creating an LDM port, adding a device,
                    sending a message, or changing a port subqueue.

                    Action 1:  DC/LDM did not start.  See "Submitting an
                    SR" in appendix A of this manual.

                    Cause 2:  While stopping the DC/LDM, an error occurred
                    when deleting a CM Port Dictionary entry or HLIO
                    device, when releasing a device, or because of a bad
                    DC/LDM state.

                    Action 2:  DC/LDM continued stopping, but this could
                    indicate a more serious problem in the High Level I/O
                    system or the DC/LDM. If the problem occurs every
                    time, see "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of this
                    manual.

                    Cause 3:  While flushing its port subqueues, DC/LDM
                    found a read event message on its port having a
                    nonzero buffer ID, but when trying to free the BMGR
                    buffer referenced by that message, the system routine
                    bmgr_free_buffer reported an error.

                    Action 3:  DC/LDM will continue operating, but if this
                    situation continues, the network may run out of
                    buffers.  In addition, any subsequent network shutdown
                    may hang.  See "Submitting an SR" in appendix A of
                    this manual.
