Operator Messages Manual

Chapter 115 TCP/IP (Parallel Library) Messages

The messages in this chapter are generated by the TCP/IP (Parallel Library) subsystem. The subsystem ID displayed by these messages includes ZTCP as the subsystem name. These messages should not be confused with those generated by the TCP/IP subsystem that include the ZTCI subsystem name.

NOTE: Negative-numbered messages are common to most subsystems. If you receive a negative-numbered message that is not described in this chapter, see Chapter 15.


1 (Critical Event)

TCPIP no longer operational on CPU cpu, cause.

cpu

is the CPU where the event was reported.

cause

contains information about the halt.

Cause  An internal error was detected in the PTCPIP subsystem and the PTCPIP subsystem could not recover.

Effect  The processor is halted. The PTCPIP subsystem in the halted processor is no longer operational. All the established PTCPIP connections through that processor are lost.

Recovery  Restart the PTCPIP subsystem on the processor where the event occurred and send the online processor dump file to your service provider for analysis.



2 (Critical Event)

ARP: Duplicate IP address ip_addr from Ethernet address enet_addr.

ip_addr

is the IP address in dotted notation.

enet_addr

is the Ethernet address.

Cause  Another machine on the network is broadcasting the same IP address as the machine on which the PTCPIP subsystem is reporting the event.

Effect  Either of the machines with the IP address conflict could get packets intended for the other and would not function properly.

Recovery  Determine which machine is in error and assign a unique IP address to that machine.



3 (Critical Event)

ARP: Ethernet broadcast address (FF.FF.FF.FF.FF.FF) used by IP address ip_addr

ip_addr

is the IP address in dotted notation.

Cause  A machine on the Ethernet LAN is using a broadcast address as its Ethernet address.

Effect  This causes all packets sent to the broadcast address to be received by all machines on the Ethernet LAN. Performance on all machines is adversely affected. In addition, some implementations of TCP/IP might try to forward the packet(s) back over the Ethernet LAN, flooding the LAN and crashing most machines on the LAN.

Recovery  Determine which machine is using the broadcast address as its Ethernet address and correct the problem. Note that you cannot reassign an Ethernet address.



4 (Critical Event)

The TCPIP monitor failed to open $Receive. CPU cpu, Error err_code.

cpu

is the processor where the event was reported.

port

is the local port number.

Cause  A filter registration failed on subnet name for the ip_addr. This event could be due to an improperly configured PTCPIP subsystem or an internal PTCPIP subsystem problem.

Effect  The PTCPIP subsystem will attempt to re-register the filter. If the filter registration category is Subnet and the problem continues, the subnet becomes inaccessible. If the filter registration category is Port Level and the problem continues, filter registration will fail.

Recovery  Using the filter type and the cause of the failed registration from the err_code value, correct the problem. Using the filter type and the cause of the failed de-registration from the err_code value, try to resolve the problem. If you cannot resolve the problem, report it to your service provider, providing an online processor dump and a copy of the routing tables.

203 (Noncritical Event)

TCPMAN Error notification. Function notif_func, Error notif_err. Info1 notif_info1, Info2 notif_info2, Line line_num, Module mod_name [ , Name notif_name ].

notif_func

is the name of the function that failed.

notif_err

is the completion code returned by Guardian. The possible values of notif_err are:

1Normal, voluntary termination with WARNING diagnostics. For example, if the process is a compiler, the compilation terminated with WARNING diagnostics after building a complete object file.
2Abnormal, voluntary termination with FATAL errors or diagnostics. For example, if the process is a compiler, the compilation terminated with FATAL diagnostics and either an object file was not built or, if built, might be incomplete. A complete listing is generated.
3Abnormal, voluntary, but premature termination with FATAL errors or diagnostics. For example, if the process is a compiler, the compilation terminated with FATAL diagnostics, with either no object file or an incomplete object file being built and an incomplete listing generated (the compiler quit compiling prematurely).
4Process never got started. This completion code exists primarily for the use of the command interpreter or other command language interpreters that can act as the executor process of a batch job. This code allows the executor process to detect that a process associated with a RUN statement never got started. In that sense, this completion code is a “fake” completion code. The command interpreter acts as though it received a termination message from the process that it tried to create, when in fact it received an error returned by the procedure or OSS function that launched the process. The command interpreter then makes the completion code and the error returned by the procedure or OSS function that launched the process available for evaluation, for example, by a batch job executor process.
5Process calls PROCESS_STOP_ (with abnormal termination specified) or ABEND on itself. This code is the default completion code for the PROCESS_STOP_ procedure (when abnormal termination is specified) and the ABEND procedure.
6PROCESS_STOP_, STOP, or ABEND was called to delete a process by an external, but authorized, process. The system includes this completion code in the process deletion message. If the process cannot be stopped, the request is saved so that when the process calls SETSTOP this completion code is sent with the process deletion message. The user id, the PCBCRAID (CAID), and the process ID of the process that caused the termination are included in the termination message.
7Restart this job. This completion code is used by the NetBatch scheduler and an executor process. The executor process sets its completion code to this value upon termination; the scheduler interprets this completion code and restarts a “restartable” job.
8Code 8 is the same as code 1, normal termination, except that the user must examine the listing file to determine whether the results are acceptable. Completion code 8 is typically used by compilers.
9The kill() or raise() function generated a signal that stopped the process. The termination information provides the signal number.

notif_info1 and notif_info2

provide context pertaining to the error.

line_num

is the line number in the module reporting the error notification.

mod_name

is the name of the TCPMAN module reporting the error notification.

notif_name

if present, is the entity in TCPMAN associated with the error.

Cause  The cause depends on the notif_func and notif_err.

Effect  TCPMAN continues to run.

Recovery  Contact your service provider and provide all relevant information.
