Chapter 118 TELSERV Messages

The messages in this chapter are sent by the TELSERV subsystem. The subsystem ID displayed by these messages includes TELSERV or ZTNT as the 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

CAN'T ALLOC size-in-bytes BYTES

size-in-bytes

is the number of bytes of memory that the Telserv process has tried to allocate.

Cause  The internal allocation of memory buffers (MBUFs) has failed.

Effect  Data transfer may be slowed or may fail completely when memory cannot be allocated for data structures.

Recovery  Limit the data traffic or reduce the maximum number of windows allowed in the system. If the problem is recurrent, use the BIND program to rebind the Telserv process with a larger heap space.



2

SOCKET READ ERROR FILE NUMBER file-number ERROR error TERMINAL win-spec

file-number

is the file number of the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX process being accessed by the Telserv process for transmitting and receiving data when the read operation has failed. This file number is a temporary identification number used by system procedures to access the open file.

error

is the number of the TCP/IP socket error that has occurred. For a brief description of the error, at the TACL prompt, enter:

> ERROR error

For a more complete description of the error, see the TCP/IP Management Programming Manual.

win-spec

contains the name of the TELNET window that is the subject of this error message.

Cause  A read operation to the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX process has failed.

Effect  The window that attempted the read operation goes down and the connection to the remote system is severed.

Recovery  None. Establish a new connection.



3

SOCKET WRITE ERROR FILE NUMBER file-number ERROR error TERMINAL win-spec

file-number

is the file number of the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX process being accessed by the Telserv process for transmitting and receiving data when the write operation has failed. This file number is a temporary identification number used by system procedures to access the open file.

error

is the number of the TCP/IP socket error that has occurred. For a brief description of the error, at the TACL prompt, enter:

> ERROR error

For a more complete description of the error, see the TCP/IP Management Programming Manual.

win-spec

is the name of the TELNET window that is the subject of this message.

Cause  A write operation to the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX process has failed.

Effect  An error is reported to the application and the connection to the remote system is severed.

Recovery  None. Establish a new connection.



4

ERROR error ON TERMINAL win-spec

error

is the file-system error that has occurred. See Appendix B, for more information on file-system errors.

win-spec

is the name of the TELNET window that is the subject of this message.

Cause  The Telserv process called the AWAITIO procedure during communication with the TCP/IP process, but an error occurred while the Telserv process was waiting for the operation to be completed on the socket.

Effect  The window goes down and the connection to the remote system is severed.

Recovery  If the window was added dynamically at the time the connection was established, you must establish a new connection. If the window was added with the ADD command, recovery is automatic and the window will be available to the next user who logs on.



5

PTY obj-spec CHANGED FROM old-state TO new-state BECAUSE OF cause

obj-spec

is the name of the Telserv process or TELNET window that is the subject of this message.

old-state

is the summary state of the process or window before the change took place.

new-state

is the summary state of the process or window after the change took place.

cause

is the reason the summary state changed. The displayed code can indicate the change was the result of a command, an error that occurred on the window interface, or a recovery operation.

Cause  The summary state of the Telserv process or TELNET window changed as a result of an operator command or an error.

Effect  If the summary-state change is the result of an error, one of Telserv operator messages 1 through 4 also occurs and provides additional information on the cause of the error.

Recovery  If a command caused the summary-state change, no corrective action is needed. If the state changed for any other reason, note the other error messages returned and contact your service HP representative. 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, trace files, and a processor dump, if applicable

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 as well.



6

TELNET NO LONGER OPERATIONAL cause

cause

is the type of internal error the Telserv process detected.

Cause  The Telserv process detected an internal error and has halted.

Effect  The Telserv process no longer exists and must be restarted.

Recovery  Restart the Telserv process using the RUN command with SAVEABEND ON. Send the saveabend file to your HP representative for analysis.



8

SOCKET READ ERROR FILE NUMBER file-number TERMINAL win-spec ADDRESS client-address - EOF DETECTED

file-number

is the file number of the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX process being accessed by the Telserv process for transmitting and receiving data when the read operation failed. This file number is a temporary identification number used by system procedures to access the open file.

win-spec

contains the name of the TELNET window that is the subject of this error message.

client-address

is the IP or Netware address of the remote client.

Cause   An End-Of-File indication (socket error 0) was received on a read operation to the TCP/IP or IPX/SPX process.

Effect   The remote client has disconnected, causing the session to end and terminal win-spec to close.

Recovery   None. Establish a new connection.



9

INTERNAL RESOURCE error-type MANAGEMENT ERROR

error-type

is the specific entity that has caused the problem.

Cause  The TELNET server process encountered an inconsistency in its internal program logic or data structures.

Effect  The TELNET server process will abend, leading to a loss of all on-going sessions with clients.

Recovery  If a backup process exists, it will take over processing. Otherwise, a new process will have to be started. In the former case, the backup process will automatically reconfigure itself with the latest PROCESS, SERVICE, and WINDOW configuration. In the latter case, existing SERVICE and WINDOW object configurations, other than the default, will have to be re-entered using SCF.



10

CONNECT TO TERMINAL win-spec OF SERVICE service-name FROM CLIENT client-address ON PORT port-num AT TIME time

win-spec

contains a fully-qualified name of the TELNET window (including the system name, the TELNET server process name, and the window name itself) to which the remote client has connected.

service-name

is the name of the SERVICE that the user selected after connecting.

client-address

is the IP address of the remote client.

port-num

is the listen port number of the connected TELNET server process.

time

is the time-stamp at which the connection was established by the client with the host server process.

Cause  A connection was made to the host TELNET server process from a remote client.

Effect  Connection was successful.

Recovery  Not applicable.



11

DISCONNECT OF CLIENT client-addr ON PORT port-num FROM TERMINAL win-spec OF SERVICE service-name AT TIME time

client-addr

is the IP address of the remote client

port-num

is the listen port number of the TELNET server process from which the client has disconnected.

win-spec

contains a fully qualified name of the TELNET window (including the system name, the TELNET server process name, and the window name itself) from which the remote client has disconnected.

service-name

is the name of the SERVICE that the user selected after connecting.

time

is the time-stamp at which the remote client disconnected from the host server process.

Cause  A remote client has disconnected from the TELNET server process.

Effect  A disconnect has occurred and the session is now terminated.

Recovery  Not applicable.



12

Takeover by backup

Cause  Primary TELSERV process was forcefully brought down, aborted abnormally, or brought down with the CPU.

Effect  The primary TELSERV process went down, resulting in loss of all on-going sessions with clients.

Recovery  None. Establish a new connection. The backup process will automatically reconfigure itself with the latest PROCESS, SERVICE, and WINDOW configuration.



13

error

identifies the file-system error number that has occurred. See Appendix B for more information.

error-detail

is the value returned in the error-detail field of the failed Guardian Procedure call.

Cause  The login server failed due to reasons specified in the error and proc‑error fields of the message.

Effect  The user may be unable to login or the session may be terminated.

Recovery  Proc-errors 309 and 310 indicate login problems. Proc error 323 indicates that the time to login has expired; it is an informational message only and requires no user action. Proc-errors 315, 316, 317, 318, 319, 320, 321, and 322 indicate there is a problem with the password. For other proc-errors, contact your service provider and provide all relevant information as follows:

  • Descriptions of the problem and accompanying system

  • Details from the message or messages generated

  • Supporting documentation such as Event Management Service (EMS) logs, trace files, and a processor dump, if applicable

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



14

Unable to read the CUSTOM BANNER file filename error error

filename

is the file name specified for the Telserv Custom Banner Param (ZTNT^CUSTOM^BANNER) or in TSBANNER.

error

is the error returned by the IOEDIT OPENEDIT_ procedure. For more information on this error, see the description of the OPENEDIT_ procedure in the Guardian Procedure Calls Reference Manual.

Cause  An error occurred in an attempt to open the banner file.

Effect  The Telserv Welcome banner is not displayed.

Recovery  Examine the error code and correct the error condition, then restart the Telserv process.



15

Unable to open the file filename error error

filename

is the name of either the PROTOCOL file or SERVICES file that should be located in the $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP subvolume.

error

is the error returned by the GETADDRINFO( ) procedure.

Cause  An error occurred when an attempt was made to access the PROTOCOL or SERVICES file.

Effect  If Telserv was started on a TCP/IPv6 dual stack, Telserv switches to IPv4-only mode.

Recovery  Make sure that the PROTOCOL file or the SERVICES file is located in the $SYSTEM.ZTCPIP subvolume.

The message is logged once per hour during periods when an input or output operation is being retried.



16

Communication error with terminal helper objectname file system error errno

objectname

is the process name of the OSS terminal helper server that was the target of the communication.

errno

is the Guardian file-system error returned by the underlying Guardian procedure call that encountered the communication problem. See the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual for more information about errno, or use the HP Tandem Advanced Control Language (TACL) ERROR command for an online explanation.

Cause  Telserv detected an error when communicating with the OSS terminal helper server identified as objectname. If the error reported by errno is retryable, the most likely cause is either a system resource shortage on the processor used by either the OSS terminal helper server or the Telserv terminal process.

Effect  Applications that perform OSS file system input or output with terminals might not function properly.

If the error reported by errno is retryable, the communication is retried indefinitely, with increasing delays of up to 60 seconds between attempts. The message is logged once per hour during periods when an input or output operation is being retried.

Recovery  If the error reported by errno is retryable, stop other applications on the processors running the Telserv terminal process and the OSS terminal helper server to free resources. If the situation does not improve, then the processors running the Telserv terminal process and the OSS terminal helper server should be reloaded.
