Messages

This chapter lists the LAN Network Manager messages you can receive when using LAN Network Manager. Messages are listed by message ID number and include an explanation of the message and suggested actions.

Messages with numbers between 1000 and 1999 are sent to LAN Network Manager from the OS/2 agent program. Refer to the documentation that is provided with the OS/2 agent for an explanation of the message and suggested actions to take to resolve the problem.

LAN Network Manager appends a "1" to the front of the message number that it receives from the OS/2 agent. Before consulting the OS/2 agent documentation, identify the appropriate message number for the OS/2 agent by removing the "1" from the number. For example, message number 1300 on LAN Network Manager corresponds to message number 300 on the OS/2 agent.

You can determine the process that generates a message by the software name given for the message in the formatted nettl log.

If you receive a message and are not able to find the message in this chapter, call IBM Service for more information. See Problem Determination for instructions on calling the IBM Technical Support center.

259<application> Timeout waiting for applications to start.

Meaning: A cmlstart command was requested, but the application did not acknowledge the start.

Action: This may not be an error if the system is running slowly. Use the cmlstatus command to see the current status of the application.

260<application> Timeout waiting for agent to be found.

Meaning: A cml_agent_found command was requested, but the agent did not respond before the timeout.

Action: This error is usually caused by a communication error with the agent. Verify the following:

  1. You can ping the agent. If the ping does not work it usually indicates a physical error or a configuration error with the agent. Check cables, power, IP Addresses, hostnames, etc.

  2. Bring up the mib browser (tools - Mib Browser: SNMP). Enter the IP Address or the hostname in the "Name or IP Address". field. Do not put anything in the community name field. Click on "mgmt" and then select "Start Query". A timeout it usually indicates one of the following:

    • The community name is wrong. Check the community name on the agent box and in the NetView for AIX Options pulldown "Options - SNMP Configuration". Community names are CaSe SeNsiTiVe and must match exactly, including spaces as well as upper/lower case.

    • Session. LNM for AIX uses the SNMP session parameters on the "NetView for AIX Options - SNMP Configuration" pulldown. If you are getting timeouts and you can ping the box, and you have verified the community name, you may need to increase the "Timeout" and the "Retry Count" for that IP Address or Hostname.

    • Default Gateway. If everything else checks out, verify that the "Default Gateway" has been set correctly on the agent. Not all boxes have this option, but some agents will not be able to route traffic back to the manager if this parameter is not set correctly.

  3. If you have verified everything above, but you still cannot retrieve attributes in NetView for AIX's MIB browser, then contact a network specialist familiar with the box you are trying to establish a connection with. At this point you do not have a Nways Manager-LAN problem, but a problem communicating with the box.

  4. In some cases it is possible to get attributes back from NetView for AIX and still have timeout errors. This is because the Mib Browser gets a single attribute at a time and Nways Manager-LAN gets multiple attributes at a time. In this case, increasing the "Timeout" or the "Retry Count" in the "Options - SNMP Configuration" should clear the problem.

261<application> Timeout waiting for agent to be deleted.

Meaning: A cml_agent_delete command was requested, but the application did not respond before the timeout.

Action: This may not be an error if the system is running slowly. Use the cmlstatus command to see the current status of the application.

262Topology initialization failed.

Meaning: lnmtopod failed to start.

Action: Verify that nvot_server is running by issuing the ovstatus command. If nvot_server is not running, issue the ovstart nvot_server command. If nvot_server fails to start, format the NetView for AIX nettl log and look for nvot_server error messages. See the NetView for AIX documentation for instructions on formatting the nettl log "/usr/OV/bin/netfmt -f /usr/OV/log/nettl.LOG00".

263Discovery initialization failed.

Meaning: cmldiscd failed to start.

Action: No other daemons will start until the problems with the cmldiscd daemon are fixed. Format the nettl log and look for messages for the cmldisc daemon. The following command should format the NetView for AIX nettl log: "/usr/OV/bin/netfmt -f /usr/OV/log/nettl.LOG00". See the NetView for AIX documentation for information about formatting the nettl log.

264<application> Timeout waiting for agent to be added.

Meaning: A cml_agent_add command was requested, but the agent did not respond before the timeout.

Action: This error is usually caused by a communication error with the agent. Verify the following:

  1. You can ping the agent. If the ping does not work it usually indicates a physical error or a configuration error with the agent. Check cables, power, IP Addresses, hostnames, etc.

  2. Bring up the mib browser (tools - Mib Browser: SNMP). Enter the IP Address or the hostname in the "Name or IP Address". field. Do not put anything in the community name field. Click on "mgmt" and then select "Start Query". A timeout it usually indicates one of the following:

    • The community name is wrong. Check the community name on the agent box and in the NetView for AIX Options pulldown "Options - SNMP Configuration". Community names are CaSe SeNsiTiVe and must match exactly, including spaces as well as upper/lower case.

    • Session. LNM for AIX uses the SNMP session parameters on the "NetView for AIX Options - SNMP Configuration" pulldown. If you are getting timeouts and you can ping the box, and you have verified the community name, you may need to increase the "Timeout" and the "Retry Count" for that IP Address or Hostname.

    • Default Gateway. If everything else checks out, verify that the "Default Gateway" has been set correctly on the agent. Not all boxes have this option, but some agents will not be able to route traffic back to the manager if this parameter is not set correctly.

  3. If you have verified everything above but you still cannot retrieve attributes in NetView for AIX's MIB browser, then contact a network specialist familiar with the box you are trying to establish a connection with. At this point you do not have an Nways Manager-LAN problem, but a problem communicating with the box.

  4. In some cases it is possible to get attributes back from NetView for AIX and still have timeout errors. This is because the Mib Browser gets a single attribute at a time and Nways Manager-LAN gets multiple attributes at a time. In this case, increasing the "Timeout" or the "Retry Count" in the "Options - SNMP Configuration" should clear the problem.

265<agent> Timeout waiting for agent to be removed.

Meaning: A cml_agent_remove command was requested, but the application did not respond before the timeout.

Action: This may not be an error if the system is running slowly. Use the cmlstatus command to see the current status of the application.

266<agent> There is no running capability interested in the agent_ID(s).

Meaning: An agent with an agent_ID (sysObjectID/MIB variable) was requested to be discovered, but there is no running application managing this type of agent.

Action: Make sure there is an application installed and running that manages this type of agent. Use the cmlstatus command to query the installed and running applications.

269Discovery application is not running.

Meaning: The cmldiscd daemon is not running.

Action: Issue the ovstatus command to make sure all the NetView for AIX daemons are running properly. Once all the NetView for AIX daemons are running properly, issue the restart command to restart the desired applications. If applications do not start properly, format the nettl log and check for errors. The following command should format the NetView for AIX nettl log: "/usr/OV/bin/netfmt -f /usr/OV/log/nettl.LOG00". See the NetView for AIX documentation for information about formatting the nettl log.

Messages 601 to 2000

601Unexpected value <value> in switch statement in procedure <procedure name> Buffer contents = <buffer contents>

Meaning: The data does not conform to the expected set.

Action: In general this indicates a programming error. If it does not reoccur it can be due to a failure in the transmission of data on the socket. If it reoccurs, contact IBM Service for more information.

602NAUN change processing failed on segment <segment number> for station <adapter address> NAUN <adapter address>.

Meaning: One or more NAUN change traps have been lost. The current trap does not fit the expected pattern for stations going offline or coming online.

Action: If this occurs for only one segment, manually resynchronize the segment. If it occurs for multiple segments for the same LNM OS/2 Agent, manually resynchronize the agent. This may occur in conjunction with message 613 for the OVsnmp Receiving session.

You may reduce the number of times this occurs by increasing the size of the receiving buffer for the TCP/UDP socket for trapd.

603Authentication failure for <IP address>.

Meaning: An SNMP generic trap 4 was received.

Action: Verify that

  • The community names match.

  • The SNMP password file exists on the OS/2 workstation.

604Socket connection not yet established from <name of executable> to <name of executable>.

Meaning: The LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application (lnmlnmemon) must be able to communicate with each of the following executables: lnmtopod, cmld, lnmBaseTimer, lnmlnmeint. If it cannot establish communications, it will continue to attempt to do so, writing this message to the log every two minutes. There may be additional messages which indicate why the socket connections cannot be established.

Action: The speed of the RISC and its workload may cause this situation to occur and be resolved without any action. If the log is being flooded with these messages, stop LNM for AIX. Use the nettl log and cmlstatus to determine why determine why one or more of the executables is not running. If possible correct the problem and restart LNM for AIX. Otherwise contact IBM Service for more information.

605View Built for resource <resource identifier>

Meaning: This message indicates that the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application has completed discovery of the resource named in the message. The resource identifier will either be for an agent or a segment. This does not imply that all resources attached to the resource identified were successfully discovered. Only that the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application is not attempting to determine the resource configuration at this time.

Action: None.

606Duplicate start message received

Meaning: The LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application initially comes up and waits for the control program to tell it to run. This is done with a start message. If this occurs more than once, the additional requests are discarded but noted in the log.

Action: None.

607Request for unknown resource <resource identifier>.

Meaning: The LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application expects to be able to match the resource requested to a resource known in its internal data storage.

Action: This message occurs if an attempt is made to remove an agent that is not currently known to the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application. In this case, verify that the parameters entered with cml_agent_remove are correct. If they are correct, verify that the agent has been discovered during the current LNM for AIX session. It is not possible to remove the agent representation from the display using this command unless the agent was discovered during this session. If the intent is to remove the agent from the display, execute an cml_agent_found followed by cml_agent_remove.

This message also occurs if the LNM OS/2 Agent management application requests information about a resource not currently known to the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application. This may occur if the request occurs during a resynchronize or if the request occurs and the agent was not discovered during this session. If the agent has not been discovered, execute an cml_agent_found and retry the request. If the resource is being resynchronized, retry the operation later.

609Invalid data received for <a character string>.

Meaning: The LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application expected a character string which contained valid hex digits.

Action: Verify that data being returned in run command responses is valid. Adapter addresses, segment numbers and concentrator ids are expected to be valid hex digits. If they are not, restart the LNM OS/2 Agent. If the problem persists, contact IBM Service for more information.

610Return code <value> for <run command key words> run command

Meaning: With the exception of messages 804, 805, 808, 809, 810 and 833, prefix the value with DFI for the corresponding LNM OS/2 Agent message number. The run command key words tell which run command returned the DFI value. For the set enumerated above:

  • 804 - The interface component was unable to assemble the run command.

  • 805 - LNM OS/2 Agent was not able to successfully complete the request to enable traps.

  • 808 - The interface component did not recognize the run command requested.

  • 809 - The run command has timed out.

  • 810 - The run command response cannot be parsed by the interface component.

  • 833 - The LNM OS/2 Agent is busy gathering its view of the network.

Action: The impact of the message is determined by the run command which generated the response and the value returned. For example, 488 indicates no adapters match the defined view. This is an acceptable response for a request for an adapter list for an unlinked segment which is connected by an unlinked bridge. In general, though this message will mean there is a loss of data and the representation of the network from LNM for AIX will be at best incomplete and possibly inaccurate. The explanation for the DFI messages is documented by the LNM OS/2 Agent. The following list addresses those return code values which do not correspond to a DFI message from LNM OS/2 Agent.

  • 804 - The interface component was unable to assemble the run command. In general this indicates a programming error. If it does not reoccur it can be due to a failure in the transmission of data on the socket. If it persists, contact IBM Service for more information.

  • 805 - LNM OS/2 Agent was not able to successfully complete the request to enable traps. If traps do not flow from the agent to LNM for AIX it will be necessary to resynchronize the LNM for AIX view of the agent more frequently. Each time a resynchronize is initiated, an attempt will be made to enable traps from the LNM OS/2 Agent. Verify the following:

    • You can ping from the OS/2 workstation to the RISC workstation and from the RISC workstation to the OS/2 workstation.

    • The community name in CONFIG.SYS matches the community name for the agent known to NetView for AIX.

    • There is an SNMP PW file on the OS/2 workstation.

    • SNMPTRAP.DST contains the IP address of LNM for AIX.

    • SNMPD is running on the OS/2 workstation.

    • There are no messages from the LNM OS/2 Agent on start up that indicate it cannot get the trap thread going.

    • The name in the HOST file in the TCP/IP directory on the OS/2 workstation matches the host name in CONFIG.SYS.

  • 808 - The interface component did not recognize the run command requested. In general this indicates a programming error. If it does not reoccur, it can be due to a failure in the transmission of data on the socket. It is persists, contact IBM Service for more information.

  • 809 - The run command has timed out. No response was received from the LNM OS/2 Agent. A run command response is expected to be received from the LNM OS/2 agent within a designated time period. This time period is the sum of the LNM for AIX response time (transmission time, network congestion, etc) and the LNM OS/2 Agent response time multiplied by the number of requests that are currently on the LNM OS/2 Agent queue from LNM for AIX. The response time components can be set from SMIT or from the LNM OS/2 Agent Configuration windows. Initially the response time out values may need to be adjusted to reflect the realities of the network. Once a successful set of values have been selected, the occurrence of a time-out may indicate increased network traffic or that the agent is now located more hops away from LNM for AIX and the LNM for AIX response time needs to increase or it may indicate that the agent is unable to communicate with LNM for AIX but the socket connections have not gone down. DCAF or TELNET can be used to determine the state of the agent workstation if it is located remotely.

  • 810 - The run command response cannot be parsed by the interface component. This indicates either that the run command response does not match the expected pattern because the agent malfunctioned, the transmission of the data introduced an error or there is a programming error. To verify that the agent is functioning correctly, attempt to execute the same run command from an OS/2 window. If the agent responds correctly, and it does not reoccur it can be due to a failure in the transmission of data on the socket. Otherwise it is a programming error, contact IBM Service for more information.

  • 833 - The LNM OS/2 Agent is busy gathering its view of the network. To allow this to complete as quickly as possible, the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application will not request any more information for 5 minutes. The LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application attempts to complete the request every five minutes until it is successful. Successful means that the LNM OS/2 Agent has completed establishing its view of the network. The length of delay is dependent on the size of the network the LNM OS/2 Agent is handling, the hardware the agent is running on and what is running on that hardware.

611Duplicate adapter <adapter address> on segment <segment number>.

Meaning: An adapter address has been found more than once on the same segment. The additional occurrences of the adapter will not display. Any adapter specific traps will be correlated and applied to the first occurrence.

Action: If multiple Bridge link successful messages (OS/2 agent trap 458) come in at the same time for the same segment, ignore the warning. Otherwise, investigate the adapters on the segment to see if a duplicate exists. If so, change the locally administered address to make it unique.

612Unexpected value <value> in switch statement in procedure <procedure name>

Meaning: The data does not conform to the expected set.

Action: In general this indicates a programming error. If it does not reoccur it can be due to a failure in the transmission of data on the socket. If it reoccurs, contact IBM Service for more information.

613Socket connection from <executable name> to <executable name/trap session> failed

Meaning: The communications from the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application to/from one of the other LNM for AIX components (cmld, lnmtopod, lnmlnmeint, lnmBaseTimer, lnmlnmemgr) or with NetView for AIX trap processing have been disrupted. There will be a loss of data.

Action: If communications failed with the OVsnmp Trap Receiving Session, traps coming from the LNM OS/2 Agents to LNM for AIX have probably been lost. It may be necessary to manually resynchronize the agents or one or more segments, to display an accurate representation of the network.

If communications failed with the OVsnmp Trap Sending Session, traps with the correlation data have probably been lost and will not reflect in the trapd log or, if applicable, the event cards. No action is required.

If communication fails with the Control program (cmld), the LNM OS/2 Agent components (lnmlnmemon, lnmlnmeint, lnmBaseTimer, and lnmlnmemgr) will terminate. Check the nettl log to see why communications failed. Correct the error indicated by the interprocess communication messages if possible. Try to restart the components using the command cmlstart. If this is unsuccessful, stop LNM for AIX and then restart LNM for AIX.

If communications fail with lnmtopod, the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application components will terminate. Check the nettl log to see why communications failed. Correct the error indicated by the interprocess communication messages if possible. Try to restart the components using the command cmlstart. If this is unsuccessful, stop LNM for AIX and then restart LNM for AIX.

If communications fail with lnmlnmeint, there will be a disruption in the management but an attempt is made to recover. If it is possible to restart the interface component, the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application will check the status of each known agent. If an agent was in the middle of a discovery cycle, the discovery process will be restarted. If an agent was in an idle state, connection will be reestablished.

If communications fails with lnmBaseTimer, an attempt is made to recover. Timed events are resubmitted but times are not recalculated. This will impact the accuracy of history collection times and scheduled resyncs.

If communication fails with the lnmlnmemgr, an attempt is made to recover. If lnmlnmemgr is not running, attempting to access an OS/2 agent management window will restart it.

615Duplicate resynchronize request for LNM OS/2 Agent <IP address> segment <segment number>

Meaning: If a particular segment is being resynchronized and an additional request is received to resynchronize it, this message is written to the log and the request is discarded.

633Cannot open history file = <history file name> with access = a+ Error <value>: <error description>

Meaning: The file cannot be opened in append mode. This mode opens a file for writing at the end of the file, or creates a file for writing.

Action: Correct the error so that future collection will be successful. There will be a loss of data.

635lnmlnmemon exiting. Exit code <exit status>

Meaning: lnmlnmemon is terminating for one of the following reasons:

  • 0 - Normal termination

  • 1 - Memory fault

  • 2 - Socket connection error

  • 3 - Socket information lost

  • 6 - Program error

  • 17 - Terminated after receiving SIGTERM signal

  • 18 - Terminated from main

  • 22 - Terminated after receiving SIGDANGER signal

Action: This message can be used in conjunction with the response from cmlstatus to understand why lnmlnmemon is no longer running. See the man page for cmlstatus for an explanation of the exit codes. If this message is not written to the log, lnmlnmemon was terminated using SIGKILL or terminated abnormally. If lnmlnmemon terminated abnormally, a core dump will probably be found in the root directory. You can determine the executable that generated a core dump by entering the following command while you are in the directory with the core image

   od -c core 0x4850 | head

Record the information from executing dbx with the where subcommand or the t subcommand. Contact IBM Service for more information.

636Refresh of LNM OS/2 Agent <IP address> is in progress

Meaning: If a particular agent is being refreshed and an additional request is received to refresh it, this message is written to the log and the request is discarded.

Action: None.

637LNM OS/2 Agent <IP address> is initializing or resyncing. Discovery of the agent topology will be retried in <n> minutes.

Meaning: The LNM OS/2 Agent is busy gathering its view of the network. To allow this to complete as quickly as possible, the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application will not request any more information for n minutes. The LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application will attempt to restart the discovery process for the agent, every n minutes until it is successful. Successful means that the LNM OS/2 Agent has completed establishing its view of the network. The length of delay is dependent on the size of the network the LNM OS/2 Agent is handling, the hardware the agent is running on and what is running on that hardware.

Action: None.

638Limits for loading the initial configuration for the LNM OS/2 agent <IP address> have been exceeded. There may be data loss.

Meaning: The load of local configuration information is limited to 250 bridge definitions and 260 adapter definitions. In addition there can be no more than 250 bridge definitions or 255 segments currently known to the LNM OS/2 Agent. If the limits are exceeded a partial load will be carried out.

Action: Use the end user interface to complete the configuration process.

639The resource <resource name> is not within the LNM OS/2 Agent managed domain.

Meaning: LNM for AIX received a trap 751 (new CAU) from an LNM OS/2 Agent. The segment in the trap is not within the LNM OS/2 Agent domain. Therefore the segment and CAU will not be added to the graphical display.

Action: If the intent is to manage the segment, add a CAU qualifier for the segment or link a bridge which handles the segment. Otherwise no action is required.

641Cannot process response for LNM OS/2 Agent <IP address> adapter <adapter address>. Procedure = <procedure name> File = <file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The initial configuration processing has received a run command response for which it does not have a matching request.

Action: This is not expected to occur. It is unlikely that the configuration and discovery of the LNM OS/2 Agent will complete successfully. If this messages occurs, remove the LNM OS/2 Agent and retry the operation. If it does not reoccur it could be caused by corruption of the transmitted data. If it reoccurs, contact IBM Service for more information.

642Bridge <bridge name> is a multiport bridge. Procedure = <procedure name> File = <file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: If an icon has been created for a bridge that the LNM OS/2 agent classifies as a multiport bridge when it responds to LAN BRG QUERY NAME=<bridge name> ATTR=RPT, the bridge is no longer manageable from the LNM OS/2 component of LNM for AIX. The icon is deleted from the LAN submap.

Action: None.

643Unexpected segment type <segment type> Procedure = <procedure name> File = <file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: There is an inconsistency in the expected data and the data received.

Meaning: There are no files in /usr/CML/reports/lnmlnmemon/<IP address> for the segment requested. The current file is seg<segment number>.history.01 and the file for the previous period is seg<segment number>.history.02.

Action: If data was expected for the current period, verify that history collection is enabled for the segment and that the current period's interval spans the time during which the request was made. Check the log to ensure that ring utilization data is available for this segment. No file is created until there is data to put in it. There will not be a ...history.02 file until the collection window expires for the first time and a ...history.01 had been created.

707No history data exists for bridge <bridge name>.

Meaning: There are no files in /usr/CML/reports/lnmlnmemon/<IP address> for the bridge requested. The current file is brg<bridge name>.history.01 and the file for the previous period is brg<bridge name>.history.02.

Action: If data was expected for the current period, verify that history collection is enabled for the bridge and that the current period's interval spans the time during which the request was made. Check the bridge performance window to ensure the performance notification interval is greater than 0. Check the trapd.log to ensure that trap 801 is being received from the bridge. No file is created until there is data to put in it. There will not be a ...history.02 file until the collection window expires for the first time and a ...history.01 had been created.

709A graph for segment <segment number> already exists.

Meaning: A graph window is currently open for this segment.

Action: Close the open graph window for this segment and retry.

Action: None.

752Resync started on segment <segment number>.

Meaning: A message has been sent to the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application to initiate a resynchronize for the named segment.

Action: None.

753You are about to restart the LNM OS/2 Agent <IP address>. Select OK to restart, Cancel to Abort

Meaning: You have selected an action to request that the LNM OS/2 Agent be restarted. This action will fail if the agent is not currently within the LNM for AIX managed domain or LNM for AIX cannot communicate with LNM OS/2 Agent. If this action succeeds management of the LNM OS/2 Agent will be temporarily disrupted.

Action: Select OK or Cancel.

754Submitted request for LNM OS/2 Agent <IP address> to be restarted.

Meaning: A message has been sent to the interface component to inform the LNM OS/2 Agent to restart. The agent must be currently being managed by LNM for AIX for this request to be processed.

Action: None.

755Timeout occurred while waiting for a response.

Meaning: A run command has timed out.

Action: No response was received from the LNM OS/2 Agent. A run command response is expected to be received from the LNM OS/2 Agent within a designated time period. This time period is the sum of the LNM for AIX response time (transmission time, network congestion, etc) and the LNM OS/2 Agent response time multiplied by the number of requests that are currently on the LNM OS/2 Agent queue from LNM for AIX. The response time components can be set from SMIT or from the LNM OS/2 Agent Configuration windows. Initially the response time out values may need to be adjusted to reflect the realities of the network. Once a successful set of values have been selected, the occurrence of a time-out may indicate increased network traffic or that the agent is now located more hops away from LNM for AIX and the LNM for AIX response time needs to increase or it may indicate that the agent is unable to communicate with LNM for AIX but the socket connections have not gone down. DCAF or TELNET can be used to determine the state of the agent workstation if it is located remotely.

756You are about to delete the definition of the selected bridge(s). Select OK to delete the definition(s), Cancel to Abort

Note that the removal of an adapter may adversely effect the operation of a ring. Remove requests will be transmitted to the LNM OS/2 Agent. A message box will be displayed for each request that fails. You will need to refresh the list to determine the request that failed.

Action: To proceed, select OK. To cancel the request, select Cancel.

760You have modified the default reporting link. To ensure bridges using the default reporting link are reset, restart the LNM OS/2 Agent.

Meaning: The default reporting link has changed.

Action: If the setting for the Automatic bridge relink parameter has been set to Active on the LNM OS/2 agent, the agent will unlink all bridges defined to use the default reporting link and then relink them according to the new reporting link value.

To verify the setting for Automatic bridge relink, telnet into the LNM OS/2 agent machine and enter the following command:

LAN SYSP QUERY ATTR=BRG

If Automatic bridge relink is set to Inactive, it is recommended that you restart the LNM OS/2 agent. If you prefer, you can manually unlink and relink each of the bridges that is defined to use the default reporting link.

On the LNM OS/2 agent, the default value for Automatic bridge relink is Inactive.

801Trying to remove a connection that is not connected: <IP address>

Meaning: The interface component has received a request to close the connection between the interface component and the designated LNM OS/2 Agent. The interface component has no record of the designated LNM OS/2 Agent.

Action: In general this is not expected to occur. The exception case is when the socket connections have been disrupted between LNM for AIX and the LNM OS/2 Agent for an agent discovered during this session. Executing an cml_agent_remove or any action that causes lnmlnmemon to shutdown before an attempt is made by the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application to have the connection reinstated could lead to this error. In all other cases, it would be a programming error.

If the problem occurs in any scenario other than that described above, contact IBM Service for more information.

802Trying to add a connection that is already connected: <IP address>

Meaning: The interface component has received a request to establish a connection with an LNM OS/2 Agent with which it already has a connection.

Action: None.

803Cannot connect to LNM OS/2 Agent with Internet address: <IP address>

Meaning: The interface component cannot establish a socket connection with the LNM OS/2 Agent.

Action: Verify the following:

  • You can ping from the OS/2 workstation to the RISC workstation and from the RISC workstation to the OS/2 workstation.

  • The LNM OS/2 Agent program is running on the OS/2 workstation.

  • The port for the LNM OS/2 Agent in CONFIG.SYS matches the port in the agent configuration file on LNM for AIX. If there is no port defined in CONFIG.SYS, the port defined in the agent configuration file on LNM for AIX must be 7605.

  • The selected socket is not in use on the OS/2 workstation.

  • The correct address is resolved from the host name on the OS/2 workstation.

  • There are buffers available for TCP/IP on the OS/2 workstation.

  • There are no errors when TCP/IP starts on the OS/2 workstation.

  • Only one LNM for AIX can establish connection with the LNM OS2 agent at a time.

  • After resolving all of the above items, if the problem persists shutdown the LNM OS/2 Agent workstation and restart it.

804No Internet address matches the destination of the run command: <IP address>

Meaning: The interface component has received a request to transmit a run command to an unknown agent. This occurs if a request is sent from the LNM OS/2 Agent management application before an attempt to discover the agent by the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery application is made during this session or the agent is temporarily unavailable due to a RESTART request or failure of the socket from the interface component to the LNM OS/2 Agent.

Action: Review the nettl log to determine if a connection to the agent has not been established (message 803). If no cml_agent_found has been executed for the agent during this session, issue one. If a RESTART was requested, retry the operation later.

805The socket connection is broken from lnmlnmeint to one of its clients. Bytes received = <number of bytes read>

Meaning: This message will be written when a socket connection is closed or fails between lnmlnmeint and lnmlnmemgr or lnmlnmemon. If bytes received if less than 0 a socket has closed, otherwise an error has occurred in the read system call.

Action: If an LNM OS/2 Agent has just been removed or a shutdown has been issued, it will be normal to see this message and bytes received should be zero. However, if communications do not seem to be functioning properly and this message is in the log, look for earlier indications in the log for why the interprocess communications are failing.

806Connection failure for LNM OS/2 Agent at: <IP address>

Meaning: Either a send or receive on the Internet socket returned a socket error or indicated that the socket is closed.

Action: If the LNM OS/2 Agent was exited or the workstation was shutdown deliberately, no action is required. Otherwise, use the nettl log and trapd.log for an indication of why the connection to the LNM OS/2 Agent was dropped. DCAF or TELNET can be used to determine the state of the agent workstation if it is located remotely.

807Unidentified data received and ignored. Agent <IP address> Command Type <command mapping> Data = < dump of part of the buffer > File = <source file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: Data returned to the interface component as a run command response did not match the expected response format. The first part of the response is written to the log. Only commands which return data in the response are mapped to a command type. The commands that return data in the response and are used by the LNM OS/2 Agent discovery and management applications are described in the following list:

Action: Remove unnecessary bridge definitions.

810Received more than maximum supported Concentrator entries. The excess entries are discarded. Agent <IP address> File = <source file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The LNM for AIX application supports a maximum of 1000 concentrators in the LAN CAU LIST run command response.

Action: Remove unnecessary concentrator definitions.

811The LNM OS/2 Agent <IP address> cannot execute the LAN command. Error code = <value>, File = <source file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The LNM OS/2 Agent program is unable to process the run command.

Action: The action depends on the error code:

2: LNM OS/2 can not initialize the command line thread. Either end another OS/2 application(s) or increase the THREADS parameter in your CONFIG.SYS and reboot the workstation.

6: The command line queue was full. If the failure is in response to a request from a panel, retry the operation. If the failure occurred during discovery, discovery will be retried in 5 minutes. If the same message repeats, reboot the agent OS/2 machine.

7: An internal error in the agent occurred. If the failure is in response to a request from a panel, retry the operation. If the failure occurred during discovery, discovery will be retried in 5 minutes. If the same message repeats, reboot the agent OS/2 machine.

8: An internal error in the agent occurred. If the failure is in response to a request from a panel, retry the operation. If the failure occurred during discovery, discovery will be retried in 5 minutes. If the same message repeats, reboot the agent OS/2 machine.

812The LNM OS/2 Agent <IP address> cannot set the trap filter. File = <source file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The request to enable or disable traps failed. LNM for AIX will continue to process run commands but the status of the topology display will only be as current as the last refresh of the agent view on LNM for AIX.

Action: The action depends on the error code:

10: Verify the following:

  • You can ping from the OS/2 machine to the RISC machine and from the RISC machine to the OS/2 machine.

  • The community name in CONFIG.SYS matches the community name for the agent known to AIX NetView/6000.

  • You have a current SNMP PW file on the OS/2 machine.

  • SNMPTRAP.DST contains the IP address of LNM for AIX.

  • SNMPD is running on the OS/2 machine.

  • There are no messages from the LNM OS/2 Agent on start up that indicate it cannot get the trap thread going.

  • The name in your HOST file in the TCP/IP directory on the OS/2 machine matches the host name in CONFIG.SYS.

11: LNM OS/2 can not initialize the trap thread. Either end another OS/2 application(s) or increase the THREADS parameter in your CONFIG.SYS and reboot the workstation.

813Unknown command received at the LNM OS/2 agent <IP address>. File = <source file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: A run command request has been received by the interface component that is not within the set of commands it is set up to handle.

Action: It is possible for this situation to occur if the data on the socket is corrupted. Retry the operation. If the condition persists, contact IBM Service for more information.

814A timeout occurred on an LNM OS/2 Agent <IP address> correlator = <correlator>.

Meaning: A run command has timed out.

Action: No response was received from the LNM OS/2 Agent. A run command response is expected to be received from the LNM OS/2 Agent within a designated time period. This time period is the sum of the LNM for AIX response time (transmission time, network congestion, etc) and the LNM OS/2 Agent response time multiplied by the number of requests that are currently on the LNM OS/2 Agent queue from LNM for AIX. The response time components can be set from SMIT or from the LNM OS/2 Agent Configuration windows. Initially the response time out values may need to be adjusted to reflect the realities of the network. Once a successful set of values have been selected, the occurrence of a time-out may indicate increased network traffic or that the agent is now located more hops away from LNM for AIX and the LNM for AIX response time needs to increase or it may indicate that the agent is unable to communicate with LNM for AIX but the socket connections have not gone down. DCAF or TELNET can be used to determine the state of the agent workstation if it is located remotely.

818Unexpected value <value> in switch statement in procedure <procedure name> File = <source file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The data does not conform to the expected set.

Action: In general this indicates a programming error. If it does not reoccur it can be due to a failure in the transmission of data on the socket. If it reoccurs, contact IBM Service for more information.

820Socket connection from lnmlnmeint to lnmBaseTimer failed

Meaning: A communications error has been detected, an attempt is made to recover. Timed events are resubmitted but times are not recalculated.

Action: Check the nettl log to determine why communications failed.

821Received more than maximum supported concentrator qualifier entries. The excess entries are discarded. Agent <IP address>

File = <source file name>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The LNM for AIX application supports a maximum of 256 concentrator qualifiers in the LAN CAUQUAL LIST run command response.

Action: Remove unnecessary concentrator qualifier definitions.

2109Socket connection from <executable> to <executable> failed in <function>. Return Code= <rc>, File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: This is a catch all message for socket errors. The connection that failed is identified by the component that is connected to lnnbrmon. The following is the action taken depending on the failing component.

Action:

  • cmld

    This is the control program. The bridge application will terminate when this socket connection fails.

    Fix the control program and then restart LNM for AIX

  • lnmtopod

    The bridge application will terminate when its connection to topology fails. The status of the bridge icons may be incorrect after lnmbrmon terminates.

    Fix the topology failure and then restart the LNM for AIX

  • lnmBaseTimer

    The bridge application will continually attempt to recreate the timer.

    None.

  • lnmbrmgr

    The bridge application will recreate the socket and wait for the bridge window application to restart.

    None.

  • OVsnmp Trap Session

    The bridge application will attempt to recreate the trap session.

    Verify that traps are still being received.

2111Request for duplicate resource <resource name>. File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: A duplicate agent found message has been detected. The duplicate request will be ignored.

Action: None.

2112Wrong response in <function>. type = <SNMP response>, IP Address = <IP address> File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The bridge application issued a get or get-next request and it received an invalid SNMP response. The bridge will be placed in the undiscovered subnet.

Action: This should not happen. Verify that the agent in the IP Address field is functioning properly.

2113SNMP error in <function>. errorStatus = <number>, IP Address = <IP address>, errorIndex = <number> File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The bridge application received an SNMP error back from a get or get-next request. This is most likely an agent error.

Action: Verify that the agent identified by IP the address works with the MIB browser. Verify that all MIB II(RFC 1213) and bridge(RFC 1286) attributes can be retrieved by the MIB browser.

If you see this message in SnmpBrPort::processingPortIfIndex, check that there is an ifIndex in MIB II that corresponds to the RFC 1286 basePortIfIndex. This is a common problem with OS/2 bridges that use TCP/IP. The following example shows two base ports that map back to MIB II inIndex 1 and 2. In this example the MIB II ifIndex is missing for ifIndex 2, so the bridge cannot be discovered.

MIB II
   ifType problems (OS/2 agents)
   ..ifTable.ifEntry.ifType.1 iso8802-tokenring
 
RFC 1286
   ..dot1dBasePortEntry.dot1dBasePortIfIndex.1 1
   ..dot1dBasePortEntry.dot1dBasePortIfIndex.2 2

2114Wrong OID returned in <function>. errorStatus = <number>, IP Address = <IP address>, errorIndex = <number>, OID = <object ID>, File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The bridge application received an SNMP error back from a get or get-next request. This is most likely an agent error.

Action: Verify that the agent identify by the IP address works with MIB browser. Verify that all MIB II(RFC 1213) and bridge(RFC 1286) attributes can be retrieved by the MIB browser.

2115No Matching Base port for <port type> Port in <function>. IP Address = <IP address>, OID = <object ID>, value = <object value>, File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The bridge application maps the RFC 1286 SR, TP, and STP tables to the RFC 1286 BasePort table. Multiple algorithms are used to try to perform this mapping. In this case, the bridge application cannot map RFC 1286 ports for this bridge.

Action: Dump the dot1dBridge attributes using the MIB browser verify that the number of SR, TP, STP, and base ports do not match.

SR and TP ports are ignored if they do not match a base port. In this case below, dot1dSRPort.3 does not match and the bridge application will not report the port as an SR port.

RFC 1286
   ..dot1dBasePortEntry.dot1dBasePortIfIndex.1 1
   ..dot1dBasePortEntry.dot1dBasePortIfIndex.2 2
   ..dotd1dSrPortEntry.dot1dSRPort.1 : 1
   ..dotd1dSrPortEntry.dot1dSRPort.2 : 2
   ..dotd1dSrPortEntry.dot1dSRPort.3 : 3

If STP ports cannot be mapped to the base ports, the discovery for that bridge is terminated and the bridge is placed in the undiscovered subnet.

RFC 1286
  ..dot1dBasePortEntry.dot1dBasePortIfIndex.1 1
  ..dot1dBasePortEntry.dot1dBasePortIfIndex.3 3
  ..dotdStpPortEntry.dot1dStpPort.1 : 1
  ..dotdStpPortEntry.dot1dStpPort.2 : 2
  ..dotdStpPortEntry.dot1dStpPort.3 : 3

2116Unknown Port Type in <Procedure> IP Address = <IP address>, MAC Address = <address>, IfIndex = <number> File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The bridge application discovered a base port with the corresponding ifIndex that did not have a matching entry in the SR port table or the TP port table.

Action: The bridge application will continue processing. This is a possible bridge configuration error, or a non-standard bridge.

2117Wrong Interface Type in <function>. original interface type = <number> new interface type = <number> segment number = <number> desigBridge = <bridge>, desigPort = <port> File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The bridge application discovered the same segment with a different ifType.

Action: Verify the bridge configuration.

2119Trap from invalid agent with OID = <object ID> received in <function>. File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The bridge application received a trap from an agent that the bridge application does not support. The trap will be ignored. The IP Address identifies the bridge that is sending the traps.

Action: Verify that the bridge filter files are correct.

2120Cannot get text from the message catalog in <function>. Default text = <text> Text ID = <number> File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The bridge application received a generic trap (RFC 1157).

Action: This is a warning message so that traps about the community name are logged.

2123Unexpected Bridge Configuration in <function>. IP Address = <IP address> File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The number of unique ifIndices found for this bridge was 0.

Action: Verify the bridge configuration for the specified IP address.

2124SNMP Time out <function>. type = <number> IP Address = <IP address> File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: An SNMP timeout has occurred while attempting to discover or poll the bridge. The bridge will be placed in the undiscovered subnet.

Action: Verify that the agent is up and that you can retrieve attributes using the MIB browser. If so, attempt to poll the bridge. If you still receive timeout messages, change the SNMP timeout parameters in NetView/6000.

2125Socket connection from <executable> to <executable> failed in <function>. errno = <number> File = <filename>, Line = <line number>

Meaning: The bridge application will recreate the socket and wait for the bridge window application to restart.
