Class Error CB: transfer of control transfer of control messages take the form: CBxx where: xx = detailed error number. ------------------------------------------------------------- CB01 MESSAGE None. (I) CAUSE General register 0 is not zero. ACTION None. ------------------------------------------------------------- Class Error CE: ISL Messages and Error Codes ISL sends messages both to the system console and to the four-digit front panel LED display. The codes that can be generated by ISL are listed in table 1-3. Codes CE00 - CE09 are informative messages only. Codes CE10 - CE27 indicate an error. A nonfatal error causes ISL to issue a message. During autoboot, a nonfatal error causes the autoboot to abort and ISL prompts for input, just as if the autoboot had been interrupted through a console request within the first 10 seconds. A fatal error stops the system and lights the front panel red self-test light. You are required to correct the problem indicated before rebooting the system. See the note that follows the explanation of the individual codes for more information on particular codes. CE00 MESSAGE ISL is executing. (I) CAUSE ISL is launched. ACTION None. ------------------------------------------------------------- CE01 MESSAGE ISL is autobooting from the auto-execute file.

NOTE Codes CE07, 16, 17, 19, 1C, 21, and 26 indicate an error with the utility. A different utility may be booted. For the same utility to be booted, you must update it from a system master tape set or a system load tape created by the SYSGEN utility. Code CE27 does not necessarily indicate an error. The name typed in may match a name in the directory which is not a bootable file.
