NS3000/iX Operations & Maintenance Reference Manual

Interactive or Programmatic Problems 

The first step in investigating interactive or programmatic problems is
to examine any error message returned.  If you have received a specific
error message, find it in the NS3000/iX Error Messages Reference Manual 
and take the action recommended.  Most error messages are easily
understood by the user or programmer, although some of the explanations
refer to internal procedures comprehensible only to qualified HP
representatives.  Users are not expected to understand these
explanations, but they should take the actions listed.

Program Errors 

If the user is using any of the programmatic capabilities of NS3000/iX
and an intrinsic completes with an error, the recovery procedure depends
upon the intrinsic.  How you check for the error code depends on which
service you are using.

   *   If a NetIPC intrinsic was issued that received a condition code
       indicating an error, use the IPCCHECK intrinsic to obtain
       additional details.  Always check for the PM error code; this is
       essential to identify the cause if the network transport is unable
       to complete a request.

   *   If a file system intrinsic was issued that received a condition
       code indicating an I/O error occurred, use the FCHECK intrinsic to
       obtain additional details.
