subagent-process-name:seq-no

is the name and the sequence number of the TCP/IP Subagent process.

reason

indicates the reason the TCP/IP Subagent process has become available, as follows:

reasonDefinition
underlying-serv-upIndicates that the TCP/IP Subagent process has come up because an underlying resource upon which it depends has become available.
operator-initiatedIndicates that an operator has brought the TCP/IP Subagent process up.

Cause  The TCP/IP Subagent process completed process initialization after initial startup or after a takeover by the backup process.

Effect  The startup configuration (or last saved configuration in the case of a takeover by the backup) is used to establish connections with NonStop agent specified in the subagent’s private ztsaAgentName object and to build MIB-II values derived from the TCP/IP process specified in the subagent’s private ztsaTcpIpProcess object.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.

reasonDefinition
underlying-serv-upIndicates that the backup TCP/IP Subagent process is available because an underlying resource upon which it depends has become available.
operator-initiatedIndicates that an operator has brought the backup TCP/IP Subagent process up by setting the ztsaBackupState MIB object to “enabled.”

state

indicates the previous state of the backup TCP/IP Subagent process, as follows:

stateDefinition
connectedIndicates a normal operational state.
disconnectedIndicates a nonoperational state where subagent function dependent on the interface was not available.
enabledIndicates that the process was set by an operator such that the subagent would immediately attempt to restore it to a connected state.

Cause  The TCP/IP Subagent successfully started a backup process identified by ztsaBackupCPU:ztsaBackupPIN.

Effect  TCP/IP Subagent configuration changes are now saved to the backup. In case of a primary failure, the backup will resume subagent processing using the last successfully checkpointed configuration.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



1006

Object unavailable backup-process - subagent-process-name:seq-no, event number: backup-process-unavailable, cause: reason, previous state: state, current state: disconnected, [ underlying object: underlying-process-name,] symptom string: code-location/internal-context-text, user content: undefined

is the name of the underlying process whose failure caused the backup TCP/IP Subagent process to go out of service. The name of the TCP/IP Subagent process specified for the TCP/IP Subagent’s private ztsaProcessName MIB object appears here.

This information is displayed only if reason is underlying-serv-failed.

code-location/internal-context-text

indicates where in the subsystem or application code the fault occurred.

Cause  The backup TCP/IP Subagent process stopped or failed to start.

Effect  The TCP/IP Subagent process continues to run without a backup. Configuration changes are not saved if a primary process failure occurs.

Recovery  Check the status of the configured backup processor (ztsaBackupCPU). If it is not available or there are insufficient resources to run a backup process, disable the backup (set ztsaBackupState “Disabled (3)”), set the ztsaBackupCPU to an available processor, and reenable the backup (set ztsaBackupState “Enabled(4)”.



1007

Object available emscollector-interface - collector-process event number: emscollector-interface-available, reason: reason, previous state: state, current state: connected, user content: undefined

collector-process

is the EMS collector process name specified for the TCP/IP Subagent’s private ztsaEmsCollectorName MIB object.

reason

indicates the reason the interface with the EMS collector process has become available, as follows:

reasonDefinition
underlying-serv-upIndicates that the interface with the EMS collector process is available because an underlying resource upon which it depends has become available.
operator-initiatedIndicates that an operator has brought the EMS collector process up.

Cause  The subagent acquired or reacquired its connection to the configured EMS collector process (ztsaEmsCollectorName).

Effect  Subsequent EMS events generated by the subagent will be sent to ztsaEmsCollectorName.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



1008

Object unavailable emscollector-interface - collector-process, event number: emscollector-process-unavailable, cause: reason, previous state: state, current state: disconnected, [ underlying object: underlying-process-name,] symptom string: code-location/internal-context-text, user content: undefined

subagent-process-name:seq-no

is the name of the EMS collector process to which the TCP/IP Subagent is sending events (as specified for the subagent’s private ztsaEmsCollectorName MIB object).

reason

indicates the reason the interface with the EMS collector process has become unavailable, as follows:

reasonDefinition
underlying-serv-failedIndicates that an underlying service the interface with the EMS collector process depends on has failed.
operator-initiatedIndicates that an operator has taken the EMS collector process out of service.

state

indicates the previous state of the interface with the EMS collector process, as follows:

stateDefinition
connectedIndicates a normal operational state.

enabledIndicates that the interface has been set by an operator such that the subagent immediately attempts to restore it to a connected state.
disabledIndicates that the interface has been taken out of service explicitly by an operator setting the ztsaEmsCollectorState MIB object to “disabled.”

underlying-process-name

is the name of the underlying process whose failure caused the interface between the TCP/IP Subagent and the EMS collector to go out of service. The name of the EMS collector process specified for the subagent’s private ztsaEmsCollectorName MIB object appears here.

This information is displayed only if reason is underlying-serv-failed.

code-location/internal-context-text

indicates where in the subsystem or application code the fault occurred.

Cause  The subagent lost its connection to the configured EMS collector process (ztsaEmsCollectorName).

Effect  Events generated by the subagent are discarded until the EMS collector interface is returned to a connected state. The subagent attempts to reacquire the EMS collector connection whenever the subagent attempts to generate and event message.

Recovery  Check the operating state of the EMS collector process (ztsaEmsCollectorName).



1009

Object available tcpip-resource - tcpip-process event number: tcpip-resource-available, reason: reason, previous state: state, current state: connected, user content: undefined

tcpip-process

is the TCP/IP process name being managed by the TCP/IP Subagent (as specified for the subagent’s private ztsaTcpIpProcess MIB object).

reason

indicates the reason the interface with the TCP/IP process has become available, as follows:

reasonDefinition
underlying-serv-upIndicates that the interface with the TCP/IP process is available because an underlying resource upon which it depends has become available.
operator-initiatedIndicates that an operator has brought the TCP/IP process up.

state

indicates the previous state of the interface with the TCP/IP process, as follows:

stateDefinition
connectedIndicates a normal operational interface between the TCP/IP Subagent and the TCP/IP process it is managing.
disconnectedIndicates a nonoperational state such that subagent function dependent on the interface is not available.

disabledIndicates that the interface to TCP/IP resource has been taken out of service explicitly by an operator setting the ztsaTcpIpState MIB object to “disabled.”

Cause  The subagent acquired or reacquired its connection to the configured TCP/IP process (ztsaTcpIpProcess).

Effect  The MIB-II object values supported by the TCP/IP Subagent are rebuilt using SPI responses from the TCP/IP process (ztsaTcpIpProcess). When the update sequence is complete (as indicated by ztsaRefreshNow value = "autoDynamicRefresh (0)"), SNMP requests made against the MIB-II objects will return current values.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



1010

Object unavailable tcpip-resource - tcpip-process, event number: tcpip-resource-unavailable, cause: reason, previous state: state, current state: disconnected, [ underlying object: underlying-process-name,] symptom string: code-location/internal-context-text, user content: undefined

tcpip-process

is the name of the TCP/IP process being managed by the TCP/IP Subagent (as specified for the subagent’s private ztsaTcpIpProcess MIB object).

reason

indicates the reason the interface with the TCP/IP process has become unavailable, as follows:

reasonDefinition
underlying-serv-failedIndicates that an underlying service the interface with the TCP/IP process depends on has failed.
operator-initiatedIndicates that an operator has taken the TCP/IP process out of service.

state

indicates the previous state of the interface with the TCP/IP process, as follows:

stateDefinition
connectedIndicates a normal operational state.
disconnectedIndicates a nonoperational state where subagent function dependent on the interface is not available.
enabledIndicates that the interface to the TCP/IP resource has been set by an operator such that the subagent immediately attempts to restore it to a connected state.
disabledIndicates that the interface to the TCP/IP resource has been taken out of service explicitly by an operator setting the ztsaTcpIpState MIB object to “disabled.”

underlying-process-name

is the name of the underlying process whose failure caused the interface between the TCP/IP Subagent and the TCP/IP process to go out of service. The name of one of the following processes is inserted in the message text following “underlying object:”

  • The name of the TCP/IP process specified for the subagent’s private ztsaTcpIpProcess MIB object

  • The name of the SCP process specified for the subagent’s private ztsaScpProcess MIB object

  • The name of the NonStop agent process specified for the subagent’s private ztsaAgentName MIB object

This information is displayed only if reason is underlying-serv-failed.

code-location/internal-context-text

indicates where in the subsystem or application code the fault occurred.

Cause  The TCP/IP Subagent process lost its connection to the configured TCP/IP process (ztsaTcpIpProcess), the SCP SPI interface process (ztsaScpProcess), or the NonStop agent process (ztsaAgentName).

If the underlying object is the NonStop agent process (ztsaAgentName), the subagent has lost its connection to the agent process and has temporarily disconnected the TCP/IP interface to conserve resources.

Effect  Values for the MIB-II objects supported by the TCP/IP Subagent are not computed. SNMP requests for these MIB-II objects receive an SNMP-ERR-GEN-ERROR response. Private MIB objects supported by the TCP/IP Subagent can still be accessed.

Recovery  If the underlying object is the TCP/IP process or the SCP process, use SCF to check the operating state of the TCP/IP or SCP process. The subagent attempts to reacquire the TCP/IP connection according to the value of its ztsaKeepAliveTimer object.

If no error conditions are found in the TCP/IP and SCP processes, or if the subagent fails to reacquire the SCP interface, stop and restart the subagent.

If the underlying object is the NonStop agent process, check the operating state of the NonStop agent process. If necessary, restart the NonStop agent. The TCP/IP Subagent attempts to reconnect to the NonStop agent at the rate indicated by its ztsaKeepAliveTimer object.



1011

Transient Fault TCP/IP-SNMP-subagent - subagent-process-name:seq-no, event number out-of-memory, fault type: Memory-allocation user content: undefined

subagent-process-name:seq-no

is the name and the sequence number of the TCP/IP Subagent process.

Cause  The extended memory segment of the TCP/IP Subagent process is full and could not be extended to satisfy a memory allocation request.

Effect  The operation that was in progress is aborted. This may result in objects transitioning into the “disconnected” state to be later reconnected. The subagent functionality will be impaired as long as the memory shortage continues.

Recovery  Free swap space on the subagent process swap volume or stop and restart the subagent with a different swap volume specified on the run line. If the problem persists, contact the Global NonStop Solution Center (GNSC) and provide all relevant information as follows:

  • Descriptions of the problem and accompanying symptoms

  • Details from the message or messages generated

  • Supporting documentation such as Event Management Service (EMS) logs

If your local operating procedures require contacting the Global Mission Critical Solution Center (GMCSC), supply your system number and the numbers and versions of all related products.



1012

Object unavailable TCP/IP-SNMP-subagent - subagent-process-name:seq-no, event number: internal-fault, cause: internal-failed, previous state: state, current state: disconnected, symptom string: configuration-fault-detail, user content: undefined

subagent-process-name:seq-no

is the name and the sequence number of the TCP/IP Subagent process.

internal-failed

indicates that an internal error was encountered.

state

indicates the previous state of the TCP/IP Subagent process, as follows:

stateDefinition
connectedIndicates a subagent in a running state, having completed its startup initialization.
disconnectedIndicates a subagent performing startup initialization.

code-location/internal-context-text

indicates where in the subsystem or application code the fault occurred.

Cause  The TCP/IP Subagent internal consistency checking logic has detected a program logic error.

Effect  The TCP/IP Subagent terminates.

Recovery  Contact the Global NonStop Solution Center (GNSC) and provide all relevant information as follows:

  • Descriptions of the problem and accompanying symptoms

  • The saveabend file (if generated)

  • Details from the message or messages generated

  • Supporting documentation such as Event Management Service (EMS) logs

If your local operating procedures require contacting the Global Mission Critical Solution Center (GMCSC), supply your system number and the numbers and versions of all related products.



1013

Object unavailable TCP/IP-SNMP-subagent - subagent-process-name:seq-no, event number: startup-configuration-invalid, cause: internal-failed, previous state: enabled, current state: disconnected, symptom string: configuration-fault-detail, user content: undefined

subagent-process-name:seq-no

is the name and the sequence number of the TCP/IP Subagent process.

internal-failed

indicates that an internal error was encountered.

configuration-fault-detail

provides additional information about the configuration in the following format:

Agent process name parameter bad-value invalid
TCP/IP process name parameter bad-value invalid
Non-local TCP/IP process name parameter bad-value
Collector process name parameter bad-value invalid
Info cache value bad-value, out of range
Stats cache value bad-value, out of range
Status cache value bad-value, out of range
Keep alive timer value bad-value, out of range
Backup CPU value bad-value, out of range
SCP process name parameter bad-value invalid
Non-local SCP process name parameter bad-value
Unrecognized parameter type bad-value
Incomplete parameter specification bad-value, missing value
Parameter bad-value, specified multiple times

Cause  The startup parameters passed to the subagent process contain invalid definitions or the specified agent process was not found.

Effect  The TCP/IP Subagent terminates.

Recovery  Check the startup parameter string passed to subagent. Check the operating state of the specified NonStop agent process to ensure that it is running and ready to accept subagent connections.

NOTE: Event 1013 is sent to the EMS collector that is in effect when the parsing error is detected. If the -c startup parameter is specified later in the startup string, after the error is detected, the event is sent to the default collector $0. If $0 is not available, no event is generated.


1014

Takeover by backup process, Primary-stopped

Cause  The subagent primary process terminated. The recognized causes are either process termination or primary processor failure.

Effect  The backup process takes over the subagent primary role using the last known configuration parameters. Any transactions that were in progress at the time of the primary failure are lost. The new primary attempts to restart a backup process in the former primary processor according to the ztsaKeepAliveTimer interval.

Recovery  If the cause was a processor failure, the backup processor (ztsaBackupCPU) should be changed to a currently active processor.

If the cause was a primary process failure, the event log should be examined to determine the underlying cause for the process abend.



1015
