BACKUP PROCESS RUNNING—The NCP control process is executing with a backup process.

NO BACKUP PROCESS—The NCP control process is executing without a backup process. NCP was run using the same processor for the primary and backup processes.

Cause  The NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem is being started, and the message is displayed to provide startup information.

Effect  The startup of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem continues.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



580

WARNING: FILE SECURITY OF filename IS 'file-security'

filename

is the name of the licensed program object file.

file‑security

gives the security settings of the named file at the time of startup.

Cause  During the startup of NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS), the licensed program object file (which may execute privileged instructions) was not secured properly. The message was displayed to warn of the possible security exposure. The recommended file security of NonStop NET/MASTER MS licensed program object files is either -O- or -U-.

Effect  The startup of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem continues.

Recovery  Secure the named file to either -O- or -U-.



582

provides information about the effect of the command according to the DEFER option:

IMMEDIATE

The backup process executes immediately in the new CPU.

PENDING

The backup process is created in the new CPU when the current backup process stops.

Cause  A PROCESS ALTER=process-name BACKUPCPU=new-cpu command changed the CPU in which the backup process of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS process pair executes or is to execute (backup CPU).

Effect  The CPU for the backup process is altered according to command-effect.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



750

NO SECURITY EXIT(S) ARE AVAILABLE

Cause  The NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem was being started but could not use any of the configured security exits; or the file security subsystem attempted to access a exit that was previously running and found that all exists had become unavailable.

Effect  If the error occurs during system initialization, the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem terminates. If the error occurs while the system is running, all future security requests are denied. Users who are currently logged on are allowed to continue. When an attempt to use a security exit fails, message 752 is displayed.

Recovery  If the security exits are defined in the configuration file, ensure that they are running. If you want to use the security subsystem of the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem, remove the security exits from the configuration file. Use the SHUTDOWN command to shut down the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem. Once the shutdown is complete, the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem must be restarted to reestablish the security environment.



751

THERE ARE DIFFERENT TYPES OF SECURITY EXITS

Cause  The configuration file contains more than one security exit. When the NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem attempted to access the exits, they were found to be of different types. Security exits must be of the same type.

Effect  This error occurs during system initialization. The NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem terminates.

Recovery  Ensure that the security exits in the configuration file are of the same type.



752

UNABLE TO READ/WRITE/OPEN SECURITY EXIT process_name, FS ERROR errno

process_name

is the name of the security exit process.

errno

identifies a file-system error.

Cause  The application was not able to read from, write to, or open a security exit.

Effect  If the error occurs during system initialization, the NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem continues as long as there are other exits available. If no other exits are available, then the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem terminates. If the error occurs while the system is running, the security request that caused the error is denied and all future requests are routed to other security exit processes. If all security exits had errors, all future requests will be denied. Users who are currently logged on are allowed to continue. NNM operator message 750 is displayed if all security exits have become unavailable.

Recovery  See Appendix B, for a definition of the specified error. For more detailed information including recovery actions, see the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual.



753

INVALID TYPE OF SECURITY EXIT PROVIDED process_name

process_name

is the name of the security exit process. A security exit must be of one of the following types:

  • File open

  • Full

  • Full with file open

  • Password validation

  • Password validation with file open

Cause  The installation provided a nonstandard security exit. When the NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem attempted to access the exit, the exit was found to be of an unsupported type.

Effect  This error occurs during system initialization. The NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem continues as long as there are other exits available. If no other exits are available, then the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem terminates.

Recovery  Ensure that all security exits in the configuration file are of the correct type.



754

SECURITY EXIT process_name RETURNED WRONG VALUE exit_code

process_name

is the name of the security exit process.

exit_code

is an invalid return code from the security exit.

Cause  The installation provided a nonstandard security exit. When the NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem attempted to use the exit, the exit set an invalid return code. This is a user programming error.

Effect  If the error occurs during system initialization, the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem continues as long as there are other exits available. If no other exits are available, then the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem terminates. If the error occurs while the system is running, the security request that caused the error is denied and all future requests are routed to other security exit processes. If all security exits had errors, all future requests will be denied. Users who are currently logged on are allowed to continue.

Recovery  Correct the user-supplied security exit so that only the proper return codes are used.



755

SECURITY EXIT DID NOT RETURN USER'S PROFILE process_name

process_name

is the name of the security exit process.

Cause  The installation provided a nonstandard security exit. During a security check, the NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem expected the exit to return a user profile. A full exit must always return a user profile; a password exit should return a profile if one was provided. This is a user programming error.

Effect  If the error occurs during system initialization, the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem continues as long as there are other exits available. If no other exits are available, then the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem terminates. If the error occurs while the system is running, the security request that caused the error is denied and all future requests are routed to other security exit processes. If all security exits had errors, all future requests will be denied. Users who are currently logged on are allowed to continue.

Recovery  Correct the user-supplied security exit so that a user profile is returned when expected.



980

shutdown-command EXECUTED ON TERMINAL device-name

device-name

identifies the terminal from which the utility was executed.

Cause  An FSTOP, SHUTDOWN, or SHUTDOWN $ABEND$ command (shutdown-command) was issued to shut down a NonStop NET/MASTER MS system externally by using the NNM shutdown utility.

Effect  If the command SHUTDOWN $ABEND$, shutdown starts immediately, irrespective of whether the target NonStop NET/MASTER MS system is initializing or is running already.

If the command is FSTOP, shutdown starts immediately only if the target NonStop NET/MASTER MS system is running already. If the system is initializing, FSTOP waits until the system is running, and then executes the shutdown.

If the command is SHUTDOWN, the target NonStop NET/MASTER MS system prevents further logons and waits for all users to log off before starting the shutdown.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



985

command EXECUTED BY userid

command

is the name of the command.

userid

is the name of the user ID.

Cause  The command has executed successfully.

Effect  The command is successful.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.



990

productname - productnumberversion - (releasedate),copyrighttext

Cause  This message contains the copyright information and appears during the startup of a NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem.

Effect  The copyright information is retrieved and displayed.

Recovery  Informational message only; no corrective action is needed.

trapid

is an ID to help the Global NonStop Solution Center (GNSC) identify the problem.

trapname

is the name of the trap that occurred.

Cause  A system trap has occurred in the GMS process.

Effect  The backup process of the failed GMS process takes over, and the NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem continues normal operation. If a backup does not exist, NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) stops.

Recovery  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, trace files, and a processor dump, if applicable

  • ABEND dump file

  • Activity log that contains the events leading up to the failure of the GMS process

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.



1402

WARNING: backup-status

backup-status

provides information on the backup processes as follows:

BACKUP PROCESS NOT RUNNING—The backup of a Global Memory Manager (GMM) process cannot be started because the backup processor is not available.

NO BACKUP PROCESS—The GMM process is executing without a backup process. The PROCESSCPU startup parameter in your NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) configuration file specified the same processor for the primary and backup processes.

Cause  The backup process of GMM was not running. This is a warning message indicating that the GMM process cannot be recovered if the primary process is stopped.

Effect  The NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem continues normal operation.

Recovery  Because vital processing information is stored and handled by GMM processes, failure of a GMM process causes the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem to stop if a backup process does not exist.

CAUTION: Integrity of information cannot be guaranteed if the system is stopped inadvertently.

Running NonStop NET/MASTER MS without a backup GMM process is not recommended in a production environment.

If this message is displayed on a production system, specify different processors for the PROCESSCPU startup parameter in your NonStop NET/MASTER MS configuration file and restart the system.



1451

UNABLE TO OPEN DSNM COMMAND SERVER process_name (Error errno)

process-name

is the name of the process that caused the error (this is one of the CIP or CMDSRv process names specified through the PARAM command or the default if none is specified).

errno

is the Guardian file-system error number.

Cause  An OPSYS command was issued but the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system could not open the command server of the DSNM subsystem.

Effect  The command is ignored.

Recovery  Refer the message to your system manager. The manager should:

  • Ensure that the command server of DSNM is operational

  • Use the error number to determine the appropriate action to take



1452

UNABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH COMMAND SERVER process_name (Error errno)

process_name

is the name of the process that caused the error (this is one of the CIP or CMDSVR process names specified through the PARAM command or the default if none is specified).

errno

is the Guardian file-system error number.

Cause  An OPSYS command was issued but the NonStop NET/MASTER MS system could not communicate with the command server of the DSNM subsystem.

Effect  The command is ignored.

Recovery  Refer the message to your system manager. The manager should:

  • Ensure that the command server of DSNM is operational

  • Use the error number to determine the appropriate action to take



1473

UNABLE TO OPEN process-name TO CANCEL UTILITY SESSION (ERROR errno)

process-name

is the name of the process that caused the error. This is one of the CIP server processes specified by using the PARAM command, or the default CIP server proess if none is specified.

errno

is the Guardian file-system error number.

Cause  NonStop NET/MASTER MS system could not open the conversational interface process (CIP) to cancel utility sessions started by CIP.

Effect  Utility sessions started by the CIP cannot be canceled.

Recovery  Refer the message to your system manager, who should:

  • Ensure that the CIP server for DSNM is operational

  • If necessary, manuall stop the utilities started by the CIP

  • Use the error number to determine the appropriate action to take



1474

UNABLE TO SEND COMMAND TO process-name TO CANCEL UTILITY SESSION (ERROR errno)

process-name

is the name of the process that caused the error. This is one of the CIP server processes specified by using the PARAM command, or the default CIP server proess if none is specified.

errno

is the Guardian file-system error number.

Cause  NonStop NET/MASTER MS could not communicate with the conversational interface process (CIP) to cancel utility sessions started by the CIP.

Effect  Utility sessions started by the CIP cannot be cancelled.

Recovery  Refer the message to your system manager, who should:

  • Ensure that the CIP server for DSNM is operational

  • If necessary, manuall stop the utilities started by the CIP

  • Use the error number to determine the appropriate action to take



1507

NNM LOG SUBSYSTEM DOES NOT HAVE ANY AVAILABLE LOG FILES.error

error

identifies a file-system error and the name of the file that is in error.

Cause  The LOG subsystem was unable to log event messages. Possible causes include the following:

  • The LOGWRAP system parameter has a value of NO, and all declared log files were used once already.

  • The log files are secured from access by the LOG subsystem, in which case the reason of the error is returned.

Effect  A warning message is sent to the Tandem system collector.

Recovery  See Appendix B, for a definition of the specified error. For more detailed information including recovery actions, see the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual.

Use the SHOW SYSPARMS=LOG* command to determine the number of log files in the NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem. If there are fewer than nine, you can declare more files using the SYSPARMS LOGFILEn=filename command. If LOGWRAP is set to NO, you can use the SYSPARMS LOGWRAP=YES command to allow the log files to be reused.



1544

LOG RECORD LENGTH (n BYTES) EXCEEDED MAXIMUM m BYTES, NO RECORD LOGGED

n

is the log record length in bytes.

m

is the maximum log record length in bytes.

Cause  NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) was unable to log an operator message. The record length of the message exceeded the maximum length allowed for an activity log record.

Effect  A warning message is sent to the Event Management Service (EMS) collector ($0). The operator message is not logged in the activity log file.

Recovery  Reduce the length of the operator message to less than m bytes. For example, split the message into two shorter messages.



2188

BAD BACKUP CPU NUMBER IN STARTUP MSG: 'text'

text

is the string of characters interpreted as the backup processor number. This is defined in your NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) configuration file.

Cause  The first symbol in the parameter string portion of the startup message to the security exit was not acceptable as a backup processor number. The symbol either was not all digits, was a number less than 0 or greater than 15, or was the same number as the primary processor number.

Effect  The security exit abends, preventing the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem from starting up.

Recovery  Contact your system manager. The system manager should ensure that in the configuration file, the PARAM PROCESSPARAM command for the security exit contains a valid backup processor number. Correct if necessary.



2189

BAD param FILENAME IN STARTUP MSG: 'text'

param

is the name of the startup parameter, associated with the Utility Access database files (UACUTIL, UADUTIL, UACAUTH, and UADAUTH), that tells you which file name was being processed. This is defined in your NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) configuration file.

text

is a string of characters being interpreted as a file name.

Cause  The second through fifth symbols in the parameter string portion of the startup message to the security exit should represent the names of the Utility Access database files. This message indicates that one of these file names is invalid.

Effect  The security exit abends, preventing the NonStop NET/MASTER MS subsystem from starting up.

Recovery  Contact your system manager. The system manager should ensure that in the configuration file, the PARAM PROCESSPARAM command for the security exit contains valid file names. Correct if necessary.



2190

OPEN ERROR errno ON FILE filename

errno

identifies a file-system error.

filename

is the name of the file on which the error occurred.

Cause  A file-management error occurred during an attempt to open a file in the security exit server.

Effect  The security exit abends, preventing the NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem from starting up.

Recovery  See Appendix B, for a definition of the specified error. For more detailed information including recovery actions, see the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual.



2191

proc ERROR errno ON FILE filename (name type)

proc

is the name of the system procedure that encountered the error: AWAITIO, KEYPOSITION, or READUPDATE.

errno

identifies a file-system error.

filename

is the name of the file on which the error occurred.

If the error occurred on one of the database files:

name

is the name of the utility being inquired about.

type

is the utility type: O (OPSYS) or P (PROGRUN).

Cause  A file-management error occurred during an attempt to access a file in the security exit server.

Effect  The security exit denies authority for whatever request it was trying to evaluate when the error occurred.

Recovery  See Appendix B, for a definition of the specified error. For more detailed information including recovery actions, see the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual.



2192

CHECKPOINT ERROR err1,err2

err1

is the upper half of the CHECKPOINT error code.

err2

is the lower half of the CHECKPOINT error code.

Cause  An error has occurred on a checkpoint in the security exit server.

This message is generated only when err1 indicates an internal error or is an unrecognized code. The message represents a coding error in the security exit.

Effect  The security exit abends. If there is only one security exit, there is no longer any control over who can update the utility definitions, and all OPSYS SEND and PROGRUN utility-name commands are disabled.

Recovery  Shut down and restart the NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) subsystem to restore normal performance.

Contact the Global NonStop Solution Center (GNSC) about the checkpoint error 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, 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.



2193

CHECKOPEN ERROR errno ON filename

errno

identifies a file-system error.

filename

is the name of the file that caused the error.

Cause  An error occurred during an open of files in the backup process of the security exit server.

Effect  The security exit stops its backup if the backup is not already stopped. Authorization functions are unaffected, but no backup is available to take over if the processor running the security exit fails. The security exit attempts to restart a backup.

Recovery  See Appendix B, for a definition of the specified error. For more detailed information including recovery actions, see the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual.



2194

BACKUP TAKEOVER, reason

reason

is one of the following:

PRIMARY ABENDEDThe security exit has abended.
PRIMARY CPU FAILEDThe processor running the security exit has failed.
PRIMARY STOPPEDThe security exit has stopped.

Cause  The backup process of the security exit server has taken over.

Effect  Authorization functions are unaffected, but no backup is created if the processor running the security exit fails. The security exit attempts to restart a backup.

Recovery  If a processor fails, try to get it reloaded.



2195

BACKUP FAILED, ERROR errno

errno

identifies a file-system error.

Cause  The backup process of the security exit process has failed.

Effect  Authorization functions are unaffected, but no backup is created if the processor running the security exit fails. The security exit attempts to restart a backup.

Recovery  See Appendix B, for a definition of the specified error. For more detailed information including recovery actions, see the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual. If a processor fails, try to get it reloaded.



2196

BACKUP CREATE ERROR err1,err2

err1

is the upper half of the NEWPROCESS error code.

err2

is the lower half of the NEWPROCESS error code.

Cause  The security exit server got an error while trying to start its backup process.

Effect  Authorization functions are unaffected, but no backup is available to take over if the processor running the security exit fails. The security exit attempts to restart a backup.

Recovery  See Appendix C, for information about the specified error. For more detailed information including recovery actions, see the Guardian Procedure Errors and Messages Manual.



2197

BAD DATABASE RECORD: errtext (name type filename)

errtext

is one of the following:

INVALID COMMAND AUTHORITY: “text”
INVALID STARTUP PARAMETER STRING LENGTH: “text”
MDO FORMAT
name

is the name of the utility connected with the record in error.

type

is the utility type: O (OPSYS) or P (PROGRUN).

filename

is the name of the file containing the record in error.

Cause  Something is wrong with one of the records in the Utility Access database. This message is the result of an internal error in the database maintenance panels.

Effect  The security exit denies authority for the request it was trying to evaluate when the error occurred. The security exit should continue to process requests normally.

Recovery  Make a copy of the indicated file, then restore the file from a backup or delete the entries for the utility and enter them again. If you have modified the database maintenance panels, check your changes carefully.



2198

TOO MANY 'SAME AS' referrals for name type

name

is the name of the utility.

type

is the utility type in the initial request: O (OPSYS) or P (PROGRUN).

Cause  More than five command sets were examined in one request due to the use of the “Same as” field in the definitions. This is a protection against a circular referral causing the security exit server to loop.

Effect  The security exit denies authority for the request it was trying to evaluate when the error occurred. The security exit should continue to process requests normally.

Recovery  Use the command set browse function to examine the “Same as” referrals starting with the command set named in the message. If you find a looped chain, correct it. If the chain is valid but is just too long, shorten it by making the referrals more direct.



2199

BAD SECURITY EXIT REQUEST errtext

errtext

identifies what is wrong and is one of the following:

BAD COMMAND AUTHORITY NUMBER: “text”
BAD FILENAME IN FILE OPEN REQUEST: “text”
BAD MDO
BAD REQUEST TYPE: “text”
BAD USERID: “text”

Cause  An invalid request was sent to the security exit server. This could be due to an error in the OPSYS or PROGRUN Network Control Language (NCL) procedure that makes it construct the request incorrectly, or it could be an error elsewhere.

Effect  The security exit denies authority for the request it was trying to evaluate when the error occurred. It should continue to process requests normally.

Recovery  If you have customized the OPSYS or PROGRUN NCL procedure in any way, examine your changes carefully.



2807

ERROR 2 ATTEMPTING TO TAKE BREAK ON TERMINAL terminal-name

terminal-name

is the physical name of the terminal.

Cause  NonStop NET/MASTER MS was trying to open a terminal and issued a SETPARAM 3 to take a break. The SETPARAM call returned Guardian file error 2 (not implemented).

Effect  The terminal is opened but the behavior of the BREAK key is undefined.

Recovery  Refer the message to your system manager. The system manager should contact the Global Mission Critical Solution Center (GMCSC), providing the device type of the terminal.



2808

INCORRECT OLDPARMS SIZE size FOR SETPARAM 3 ON TERMINAL terminal-name

size

is the size returned by SETPARAM.

terminal-name

is the physical name of the terminal.

Cause  NonStop NET/MASTER MS was trying to open a terminal and issued a SETPARAM 3 to take break. The SETPARAM call returned an incorrect size for the old break parameters.

Effect  The terminal is opened but the behavior of the BREAK key is undefined.

Recovery  Refer the message to your system manager. The system manager should contact the the Global Mission Critical Solution Center (GMCSC), providing the device type of the terminal.
