Ndis 4.0 (Windows Nt) Driver Messages; Unix Messages - IBM xSeries 150 User Reference Manual

Table 19. NDIS 2.01 (OS/2) driver messages for the Ethernet controller
PCNTND-29 WARNING: DMA number is not necessary for PCI device.
PCNTND-33 PCNET device with specified IOBASE is already in use.
Table 20. NDIS (Windows NT) driver messages for the Ethernet controller
PermaNet™Server: No Secondary Adapter Found. Grouping Mode is disabled.
Explanation: The failover option requires an adapter that is compatible with the device driver
of the Ethernet controller on the system board. No such adapter was found. Action: Make sure
the correct adapter is installed.
PermaNet Server: Problem Occurs on the Primary Adapter. Switching over to the Secondary Adapter.
Explanation: The system detected a problem with the primary Ethernet connection and has
transferred all network traffic to the secondary Ethernet controller. Action: Identify the cause of
the failure on the primary Ethernet connection. Restoring the operational state of the primary
connection will cause the network traffic to automatically transfer to the primary Ethernet
controller.
PermaNet Server: Switching back to Primary Adapter.
Explanation: The primary Ethernet connection is now operating correctly. Network traffic will
automatically transfer to the primary Ethernet controller. Action: None needed, message is for
information only.
Table 21. UNIX LLI driver messages for the Ethernet controller
pnt0-2 PCI search specified, PCI device not found!
Explanation: The driver cannot locate the Ethernet controller on the PCI bus. Action:
•
•
pnt0-6 Cannot allocate memory for the adapter during an interrupt. Please check your Streams
parameters.
Explanation: On a SunSoft Solaris system, this message indicates that the system is out of Streams
memory blocks. Action: Use the CRASH utility to increase the number of Streams memory
blocks. Modify the interrupt request (IRQ) settings in the Configuration/Setup Utility program,
or run the NETCONFIG program to match the hardware settings.
Explanation: The Ethernet controller does not require a DMA setting.Action: Remove the
DMA setting in the PROTOCOL.INI file.
Explanation: The specified I/O address number is already in use by another Ethernet
controller or device. Action: Remove the I/O address setting in the PROTOCOL.INI file.

NDIS 4.0 (Windows NT) driver messages

This section contains the error messages for the NDIS 4.0 drivers. The explanation and
recommended action are included with each message.

UNIX messages

This section provides descriptions of the Ethernet error messages for the SCO UNIX
LLI driver, and suggested actions to resolve each problem.
Run the NETCONFIG program to search for another Ethernet controller
Verify that the Ethernet controller is enabled. If the Ethernet controller is enabled, run the
diagnostic programs.
