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.

MESSAGE: Send_msg error
Level: 2 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


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

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.


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

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Write request is invalid in current state
Level: 15 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Send_msg error while issuing CM reply
Level: 16 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Invalid CM request received in current state
Level: 17 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Send_msg error while issuing NM reply
Level: 18 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Invalid NM request received in current state
Level: 19 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Invalid event received in current state
Level: 20 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Error in releasing CM request write buffer
Level: 22 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Error in releasing write buffer in current state
Level: 23 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Internal error — invalid state
Level: 24 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Invalid message was received and discarded
Level: 25 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Insufficient frames for inbound packets — packet discarded
Level: 27 CLAS0000

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.


MESSAGE: Asynchronous error event received from lower manager
Level: 33 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Asynchronous warning event received from lower manager
Level: 34 CLAS0000

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.


MESSAGE: Port error while obtaining message for inbound packet
Level: 37 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Write sap is invalid
Level: 38 CLAS0000

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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Error encountered during removal of DC/LDM
Level: 39 CLAS0000

CAUSE: 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: 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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.

CAUSE: 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: 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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.


MESSAGE: Error encountered in configurator module
Level: 40 CLAS0000

CAUSE: 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: DC/LDM did not start. See Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.

CAUSE: 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: 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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.

CAUSE: 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: 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 Appendix A "Submitting a CR" of this manual.
