Operator Messages Manual

Chapter 50 MEU (Maintenance Entity Unit) Messages

The messages in this chapter are generated by the Maintenance Entity subsystem. The MEU subsystem records messages sent by the Maintenance Entity Unit (MEU) concerning:

  • MEU initialization events

  • CPU state change events

  • Subnet database events

  • Miscellaneous info events

The $ZSPE process:

  • Receives maintenance entity messages.

  • Translates them to Event Management Subsystem (EMS) format.

  • Logs them to $ZLOG (service event log).

Messages sent to $ZLOG are viewable using the OSM Event Viewer application. The subsystem ID displayed by these messages includes MEU 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.


101

MEUxx reset initiated

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event (MEU00 or MEU01).

Cause  The MEU started its initialization phase due to maintenance server power-on or reset.

Effect  Additional MEU events are expected to subsequently track the completion of the MEU initialization phase and the completion of the overall MEU application start-up.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action required.



103

MEUxx state is { AWAITING_CONFIG | NORMAL }

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event (MEU00 or MEU01).

Cause  If the MEU finds a valid Subnet Database then its state will be NORMAL, otherwise its state will remain AWAITING_CONFIG.

Effect  An MEU in the NORMAL state is fully functional. An MEU in the AWAITING_CONFIG state is only minimally functional. To transition an MEU from the minimally functional to the fully functional state requires that an external client create or activate a valid Subnet Database.

Recovery  If the MEU state is AWAITING_CONFIG then use the OSM System Configuration Tool to create or activate a valid Subnet Database.



104

MEUxx state changed for CPU CPUx, new state: new-state

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event (MEU00 or MEU01).

CPUx

The number of the CPU which changed state.

new-state

The new state of the CPU.

Cause  A CPU changes state.

Effect  The CPU changes to the new state.

Recovery  If the CPU state change is expected, then this is an informational message and no recovery is required. If however the CPU state change is unexpected, then see the Processor Halt Codes manual and perform the recovery listed for the particular halt code or contact HP support for assistance.



105

MEUxx reset completed

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event (MEU00 or MEU01).

Cause  The MEU application completed its initialization phase.

Effect  The MEU’s state is set and will remain so until either an external client changes it, or the CLIM is restarted.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action required.



106

Periodic statistics for MEUxx

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event (MEU00 or MEU01).

Cause  This event is generated daily by each MEU.

Effect  None

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action required.



108

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action required.



109

MEUxx SIDINFO system-name Local SIT deleted

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event.

system-name

The name of the affected resource’s NonStop system.

The name of the affected CPU or CLIM resource.

Cause  Generated whenever a new entry is added to an end point database table, or as part of an event delete or insert sequence to record a modification of an existing end point table entry.

Effect  The end point database table entry is inserted or modified.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action required.



111

MEUxx SIDINFO End-Point system-name.resource-name deleted

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event.

system-name

The name of the affected resource’s NonStop system.

resource-name

The name of the affected CPU or CLIM resource.

Cause  Generated whenever an end point database table entry is deleted, or as part of an event delete or insert sequence to record a modification of an existing end point table entry.

Effect  The end point database table entry is deleted or modified.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action required.



112

MEUxx SIDINFO Remote System system-name inserted

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event (MEU00 or MEU01).

system-name

The name of the remote NonStop system inserted into the local Subnet Database.

Cause  Generated whenever a new remote system is added to the local Subnet Database, or as part of an event delete or insert sequence to record a modification of an existing remote system entry.

Effect  The corresponding remote system entry in the local Subnet Database is added or modified.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action required.



114

MEUxx SIDINFO Remote System system-name deleted

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event (MEU00 or MEU01).

system-name

115

MEUxx { stopped | started | reset } component component

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event (MEU00 or MEU01).

component

The name of the affected component.

Cause  The MEU starts components during its initialization. The MEU resets components whenever the Subnet Database is changed.

Effect  The affected MEU component is stopped, started, or reset. A NonStop CPU which is power-cycled or reset while these services are unavailable will not boot properly.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action required.



116

MEUxx received an info event from CPU CPUx

MEUxx

The name of the Maintenance Entity Unit that generated the event (MEU00 or MEU01).

The number of the affected CPU.

Cause  Generated whenever an MEU establishes, or loses, connectivity with a NonStop CPU.

Effect  MEU connectivity with the NonStop CPU is either established (opened) or lost (closed).

Recovery  Transient connectivity loss is expected during NonStop CPU State changes (for example, when a CPU Halts, or when it is Reloaded). However, if the connectivity loss persists, ensure the affected NonStop CPU is properly configured within each MEU’s Subnet Database. Contact HP support if connectivity loss appears permanent.
