"Nonclass" Errors (contd) 

Interpreting SYSGEN Messages and Error Codes 

Three types of messages (informational, error, and warning) may occur
during SYSGEN operations.

Informational messages indicate something out of the ordinary has
happened.  Do not take any action.  SYSGEN continues normally.

Warnings are more serious.  They indicate SYSGEN has encountered
difficulties, but can handle the problem.  Determine if any action should
be taken.  SYSGEN continues normally.  Warnings follow the string,
**warning**.

Errors fall into two categories:  fatal and nonfatal.  Fatal errors make
it impossible for SYSGEN to continue.  In the case of a fatal error, the
job control word (JCW) is set to SYSTEM.

Nonfatal errors are caused by user mistakes.

Both fatal and nonfatal errors follow the string **error**.

The "!" is replaced with actual information when you encounter the error.

Input/Output (I/O) Configurator Messages.   

---------------------------------------------------------------

0375         MESSAGE    **note** Class !'s mode is now !

           ACTION

---------------------------------------------------------------

0401         MESSAGE    **warning** language localized string "NMMGR" too
                      long

           CAUSE      When this catalog was language localized, the
                      string "NMMGR" in message 350 was replaced with a
                      string that is to long to fit into SYSGEN's I/O
                      display format.

           ACTION     Contact your software representative responsible
                      for maintaining system files.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0402         MESSAGE    **warning** Class ! is already associated with
                      device !

           CAUSE      User is trying to add a class to a device more than
                      once.

           ACTION     Use another class name or leave unchanged.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0403         MESSAGE    **warning** can't get NMMGR info for file !.

           CAUSE      Cross-validation error SYSGEN and NMMGR does not
                      occur.  This occurs when there is a problem with
                      the remote configuration file, usually when set by
                      the SYSFILE RDCC command.  The file is missing
                      elements, such as proper path information.  Also,
                      this message can be displayed when there is no
                      remote configuration file.  Related messages should
                      appear.

           ACTION     It is possible you have entered the wrong file name
                      or a configuration file that is no longer valid.
                      Use the RDCC command in SYSFILE to designate the
                      file with the proper remote configuration
                      information.  If you feel you have the proper file,
                      recheck your remote configuration through NMMGR and
                      cross-validate the file again with SYSGEN.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0404         MESSAGE    **warning** path doesn't exist

           CAUSE      The path that the user referenced doesn't exist.

           ACTION     If you think the path does exist, use the LPATH
                      command to verify existing paths.  If you are
                      certain that the path you gave should exist, exit
                      the I/O Configurator and use the Main Menu SHOW
                      command to verify you are in the proper
                      configuration.  Enter a valid iopath.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0405         MESSAGE    **warning** class ! doesn't exist

           CAUSE      The class that the user referenced doesn't exist.

           ACTION     Enter the LCLASS command to display a list of
                      current class names and the LDEVs assigned to each.
                      Enter a valid class name.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0406         MESSAGE    **warning** no volumes left to list

           CAUSE      You have entered a volume name in the LVOL command
                      that does not exist.  SYSGEN has searched the list
                      of volume names and has come to the end of the
                      list.

           ACTION     Enter the LVOL command without the volume name
                      parameter.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0407         MESSAGE    **warning** volume name does not exist

           CAUSE      This message appears with the preceding message
                      when an LVOL is made for a volume name that does
                      not exist.  This message appears when you use the
                      DVOL or MVOL command to delete or modify a volume
                      and specify a volume name that does not exist.

           ACTION     Enter the LVOL command to see a list of existing
                      volumes.  Usually, the error occurs when the volume
                      name is misspelled.  If you are certain the volume
                      name you entered should exist and doesn't, exit the
                      I/O configurator and use the SHOW command to check
                      that you are in the proper configuration group.
                      Verify that the name hasn't been previously
                      modified.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0408         MESSAGE    **warning** Can't open offline list
                      device--online used

           CAUSE      Usually, this error message appears when the
                      printer has not been spooled out.  The offline
                      device, also, may be powered off or has been
                      disconnected.

           ACTION     Inform your operations personnel that the offline
                      device that you were attempting to use is
                      unavailable.  If the device has not been spooled,
                      they are able to start spooling for you.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0410         MESSAGE    **warning** class ! degraded to mode !

           CAUSE      The combination of devices that you have placed
                      into the given class force all devices in that
                      class to operate in a less than optimal manner.
                      This is caused by combining unlike devices (for
                      example, a tape drive and a printer) into the same
                      class.

           ACTION     Although the devices still operate in the degraded
                      mode, it is best to only put devices of a similar
                      type into the same class.  Review the named class
                      and separate it into two classes.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0411         MESSAGE    **warning** class ! is of mode !--user mode
                      ignored

           CAUSE      Although the user requested a specific class mode
                      for the given class, the devices in the class do
                      not allow that mode.  Instead, the mode displayed
                      in the message is used.

           ACTION     If you feel that the class should accept the given
                      mode, use the LCLASS command to determine that
                      devices are in the class--a device of a different
                      type would cause the class to reject your chosen
                      mode.  Remove any such devices from the class.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0414         MESSAGE    **warning** Not enough room for dcc devices in
                      class !

           CAUSE      Each class may only contain a finite number of
                      devices.  For first release, this is 256.  The
                      total number of devices requested for the class by
                      both SYSGEN and NMMGR is more than this number.
                      When the system is rebooted, some or all of the DCC
                      devices fail to be configured, rendering them
                      unusuable.

           ACTION     Change either the class name, or the number of
                      devices in the class.  This must be done in SYSGEN
                      for local devices (those configured in SYSGEN), and
                      in NMMGR for DCC devices (those configured in
                      NMMGR).

---------------------------------------------------------------

0415         MESSAGE    **warning** docc devices in class ! degraded to
                      mode !

           CAUSE      Attempting to share a class with NMMGR has caused
                      the mode requested by NMMGR to be degraded to the
                      given mode.

           ACTION     If you feel the class should accept NMMGR's mode,
                      use the LCLASS command to determine that devices
                      are in the class--a device of a different type
                      would cause the class to reject NMMGR's mode.
                      Remove any such devices from the class, or change
                      the class name that NMMGR is using by running
                      NMMGR.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0416         MESSAGE    **warning** class ! won't accept dcc's mode of !
                      anymore

           CAUSE      In determining the mode of a class, devices
                      configured by SYSGEN always take precedence.  If a
                      device is added to a class that is shared with
                      NMMGR, and the new device causes the class to
                      become incompatible with the DCC devices, the mode
                      of the DCC devices is rejected.  The DCC devices
                      with the given class are not configured when the
                      system is rebooted, rendering them inoperable.

           ACTION     Either remove the device that caused the
                      incompatibility, or change the class name of the
                      DCC device in NMMGR.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0417         MESSAGE    **warning** dcc devices degrade class ! to mode !

           CAUSE      Although the doc devices are able to share this
                      class with SYSGEN, their presence degrades access
                      to SYSGEN's devices.

           ACTION     Either change the class name of the DCC devices in
                      NMMGR, or else remove any local devices from the
                      class whose mode is not compatible with the DCC
                      devices.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0418         MESSAGE    **warning** language localized string "USER" too
                      long

           CAUSE      When this catalog was language localized, the
                      string "USER" in message 351 was replaced with a
                      string that is too long to fit into SYSGEN's I/O
                      display format.

           ACTION     Contact your software personnel responsible for
                      maintaining system files.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0419         MESSAGE    **warning** Class ! already exists

           CAUSE      User is trying to add class !, and it already
                      exists.

           ACTION     To modify an existing class, use the MCLASS
                      command.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0420         MESSAGE    **warning** Class ! already exists--class mode
                      ignored

           CAUSE      When adding a device with ADEV, the mode of the
                      class(es) specified may be given with the CMODE
                      parameter; however, it is ignored if the class
                      already exists.

           ACTION     Enter the LCLASS command to verify that the class
                      exists and to verify that LDEVs are associated with
                      the class name.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0421         MESSAGE    **warning** level parameter ignored-path
                      parameter used instead.

           CAUSE      If both the LEVEL= and PATH= parameters are given
                      in the LPATH command, only the PATH= parameter is
                      used to determine that path to list.

           ACTION     None required.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0422         MESSAGE    **warning** mgrname parameter ignored--path
                      parameter used instead.

           CAUSE      If both the MGR= and PATH= parameters are given in
                      the LPATH command, only the PATH= parameter is used
                      to determine that path to list.

           ACTION     None required.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0425         MESSAGE    **warning** The correct delimiter at this level
                      is a "!"

           CAUSE      In specifying a path, all bus converters must be
                      followed by a "/", while all other devices and
                      adapters must be followed with a ".".  SYSGEN knows
                      what the appropriate delimiter is, and warns the
                      user.

           ACTION     None required.  SYSGEN replaces the incorrect
                      delimiter.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0426         MESSAGE    Path (up to this level) changed to !

           CAUSE      Issued with previous to indicate what the correct
                      path is.

           ACTION     None required.  SYSGEN has replaced the incorrect
                      delimiter.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0430         MESSAGE    **warning** iopath ! (from DCC) does not exist

           CAUSE      The channel adapter (and possibly the bus
                      converter(s) for the path given by NMMGR for either
                      the DCC device adapter or the NM device adapter has
                      not been defined in SYSGEN. This causes the
                      configuration of the DCC devices to fail.  This
                      message also occurs when SYSGEN is being used to
                      create a configuration for a system with devices at
                      different addresses (for example, running SYSGEN on
                      a 935 to create a 950 configuration).

           ACTION     If the configuration is intended for the current
                      machine, add the appropriate channel adapter(s) and
                      bus converter(s).  If the configuration is intended
                      for another machine, make sure that the channel
                      adapters and bus converters are set up correctly
                      for that machine.  If you are also creating an
                      NMMGR configuration for the target machine, SYSGEN
                      can be told to use that configuration for
                      validation purpose by issuing the RDCC command in
                      the SYSFILE configurator.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0431         MESSAGE    **warning** path ! (from DCC) has a bad component
                      (too large, or non-numeric)

           CAUSE      The path specified in NMMGR for either the DCC
                      devices or the NS devices is invalid.  It might be
                      either too large, or nonnumeric.

           ACTION     Change the path from within NMMGR to be valid.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0432         MESSAGE    **warning** path name (from DCC) too long

           CAUSE      It is possible, though unlikely, that the path
                      specified from within NMMGR is too long to fit into
                      SYSGEN's data structures.

           ACTION     Shorten the path from within NMMGR.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0440         MESSAGE    **warning** OUTDEV must equal LDEV: Correct value
                      used

           CAUSE      The output device must equal the input device for
                      all terminal devices.  The LDEV number entered on
                      the ADEV or MDEV command is considered the input
                      device for terminals.

           ACTION     None required.  SYSGEN has used the correct value.

---------------------------------------------------------------

0441         MESSAGE    **warning** OUTDEV must be zero (0): Correct
                      value used

           CAUSE      All devices except for terminals and the streams
                      device(s) must have an output device of zero.

           ACTION     None required.  SYSGEN has used the correct value.

---------------------------------------------------------------

1000         MESSAGE    **error** class ! already exists

           CAUSE      The class name you have entered already exists.

           ACTION     Enter the LCLASS command to verify that the class
                      exists and to verify that LDEVs are associated with
                      the class name.  If you were adding a class prior
                      to adding a device, use the ADEV command to add the
                      device and enter a name in the CLASS= parameter to
                      associate the device with a class name (other than
                      the system default).

---------------------------------------------------------------

1001         MESSAGE    **error** classname does not exist

           CAUSE      You are trying to delete or modify a class name
                      that does not exist.

           ACTION     Use the LCLASS command to display existing class
                      names and associated devices.

---------------------------------------------------------------

1002         MESSAGE    **error** new volume name already exists

           CAUSE      The volume name you are adding through the AVOL
                      command or the name you designate as the new volume
                      name through the MVOL command already exists.

           ACTION     Use the LVOL command to view existing volume names.
