BOOT Failures

CSMIM-T1 Hardware Installation Guide

5-11

The error count pinpoints the error that caused the boot failure. For
example, if the boot failed during a Read Request due to excessive
Expedited Remote Procedure Call (ERPC) layer errors, the Errors from
Last ERPC Layer Invocation lists only errors that occurred during the
failed Read Request (see

Table 5-6

). The report does not list errors that

occurred during any other Read Request (see

Table 5-7

) or during the

Open Request (see

Table 5-8

).

The Open Request and the Read Request layers communicate with the
block file server (BFS) on the host. The ERPC layer resides below the
Open Request and the Read Request layers. It is responsible for sending a
given message to a specific host UDP port, and for receiving the correct
response to that message from the port.

Error

Description

H/W errors

The CSMIM-T1 sensed a hardware error during message
transmission or reception. This error indicates a fault with the
CSMIM-T1 LAN interface. Use the net command to isolate the
problem.

Msgs from
wrong host

The CSMIM-T1 received a message from an incorrect host.
This indicates that the CSMIM-T1 received, and ignored, an
unsolicited packet.

Rsp T/O’s

The CSMIM-T1 never received a correctly formatted response
from the correct host, or any response from any load server
hosts.

Msgs of wrong
type

The correct host sent a message to the CSMIM-T1, but the
message was not a correctly formatted response to the
transmitted request.
