Facility: DECwindows

Meaning: When followed by "SYSTEM-W-NOSUCHDEV, no such device available" this error indicates DECwindows started before MultiNet.

Action: Ensure DECnet starts before MultiNet and DECwindows starts after MultiNet. The DECwindows process completes its startup as soon as SYSTARTUP_Vn.COM completes, which is not before MultiNet completes. Start MultiNet from this command file. (Under OpenVMS V5, this file is called SYSTARTUP_V5.COM; under OpenVMS V6 and AXP versions, this file is called SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.)

Delete_File I/O error, VMS Status = 0x800

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: A file in use by NFS was deleted by another node. The 0x800 code means file access conflict. Even though this message displayed on OPCOM, no error message is displayed when the file is deleted.

%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening directory *.*;* as input
-RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation

Facility: NFS

Meaning: This error can occur if there is no UID mapping for directory. If so, only W:RE access is given to the file. These permissions do not permit execution of the DIR command. A UID mapping is required to get access to a file over NFS even if your account has privileges.

Action: Refer to the NFS Client chapter of the Administrator's Guide for information on proper UID/GID translation table setups.

Directory not empty (ENOTEMPTY)

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: One of the following occurred:

· The client tried to use the unlink command to unlink a directory that was not empty.

· An unexpected SS$_DIRNOTEMPTY was received from the OpenVMS XQP when a user tried to delete a directory. The directory was not empty because an OpenVMS user added a file to the directory shortly before the delete attempt.

Action: Empty the directory and retry the operation.

Disk quota exceeded (EDQUOT)

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: Because the server has exceeded its disk quota, it has received a SS$_EXDISKQUOTA error message from the OpenVMS XQP. If the writeback feature is enabled, preceding write operations may not have completed, and some data may have been lost before reaching the disk.

Action: Delete other files to free disk space, then write the file again.

%DISM-W-CANNOTDMT, NFSn: cannot be dismounted
%SYSTEM-F-DEVNOTMOUNT, device is not mounted

Facility: NFSDISMOUNT

Meaning: An invalid mount point was specified for a dismount.

Action: Specify the correct mount point name. List the NFS-mounted devices with the SHOW DEVICES NFS command.

Dispatcher: Bad Program #200006

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server, AIX NFS Client

Meaning: By default, NFS clients running the AIX Operating System for IBM RS/6000 computers try to use IBM Access Control extensions. The MultiNet NFS Server does not support those extensions.

Don't forget to do a 'KDB_UTIL load filename' to reload the database!

Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE DUMP

Meaning: This informational message describes the command you should use to reload the database after changing the master key or converting an old Kerberos database to the current format.

Action: Enter the following command to reload the database after MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE DUMP completes:

$ MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE LOAD filename

Duplicate DECnet mapping detected

Facility: IMAP Server

Meaning: The .IMAPRC file contained more than one DECnet name to domain name mapping for the same DECnet name.

Action: Remove the duplicate definition from .IMAPRC.

Duplicate UID

Facility: NFS

Meaning: Two accounts cannot be mapped to the same UID. If they are, a file protection error can result on one account and the Duplicate UID or Duplicate UIC message on the other.

Action: Use MULTINET CONFIGURE /NFS to change one of the accounts to a different UID.

Error 65

Facility: MultiNet

Meaning: Error code 65 is EHOSTUNREACH, no route to host. Typically, this message occurs when an ICMP Host Unreachable message is received from a gateway in response to a packet sent to a destination address. This is sometimes caused by transient network connectivity problems, and is sometimes deliberate on the part of organizations filtering certain kinds of network traffic.

Action: If you have reached the specified host previously, try again later. A router or intermediate host may be down temporarily. If you have not reached the host before, try to determine which router is preventing access to the host. One method is to use MULTINET TRACEROUTE to trace the route to the host.

Error 84

Facility: REMIND

Meaning: An attempt to use the REMIND SEND option caused this message to appear.

Action: Error 84 (hex) is SS$_DEVOFFLINE, which indicates the message could not be sent because:

· The user is not able to receive the broadcast (the user's terminal is set to /NOBROADCAST or BROADCAST=NOMAIL).

· That user is not logged on.

Error attempting to change password.

Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD

Meaning: The user or principal name password could not be changed.

2. Run make to compile the files into binary source. (The make file assumes the UNIX cc compiler is available.)

Message from user MULTINET on node dispatcher: bad program # 200006

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server, AIX NFS Client

Meaning: By default, NFS clients running the AIX Operating System for IBM RS/6000 computers try to use IBM Access Control extensions. The MultiNet NFS Server does not support those extensions.

Mismatch - try again

Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS PASSWORD

Meaning: The new password value entered a second time for verification did not match the first value.

Action: Specify the correct value.

Missing address after comma

Facility: IMAP Server

Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers that are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.

Action: None.

Missing command before authentication host=host

Facility: IMAP Server

Meaning: A client sent an illegitimate command to the server before attempting to authenticate itself. This is indicative of a broken client or a possible attack against the server.

Action: Verify the source host is a valid working client.

Missing or invalid host name after @

Facility: IMAP Server

Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers that are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.

Action: None.

mk_req failed: Principal unknown (Kerberos)

Facility: TELNET /AUTH

Meaning:

1. The realm name is different from the domain name. Create a MULTINET:KERBEROS.REALMS file.

2. An attempt was made to access a remote host with TELNET, RLOGIN, RSHELL, or RCP, and there is no entry in the KDC database.

Action: For the first case, create the necessary file. For the second, use MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT to add the user to the KDC database.

%MNCHK-I-LOGVRFY, personal login command procedure does not use 'F$VERIFY(0)

Facility: MULTINET CHECK

Meaning: All user login command procedures should have the 'F$VERIFY(0)' command at the beginning to ensure that messages do not appear at login. If messages appear, "R" services fail.

Action: Make sure the login command procedures contain the following two lines at the top of each file:

$ verify = 'f$verify(0)'
$ if f$mode() .eqs. "OTHER" then exit

Be sure to insert a single quote before F$VERIFY and specify OTHER in uppercase.

%MNCHK-W-DBVERMISM, database file file . . .
does not match global section file version n

Facility: MULTINET CHECK

Meaning: The host table was recompiled, but was not installed.

Action: Run the MULTINET:INSTALL_DATABASES.COM command procedure.

%MNCHK-W-DUPPHA, LAN adapters _dev_n: and _dev_n:
both using physical address address

Facility: MULTINET CHECK

Meaning: Two Ethernet controllers have the same physical address. This is not a problem as long as the two interfaces are connected to two different Ethernet segments.

Action: If the controllers are on the same segment and only one of the devices is using DECnet, use MULTINET SET /INTERFACE with the /NODECNET_ADDRESS qualifier to force the physical address to be derived from the PROM on the controller of the non-DECnet device rather than by DECnet. This problem is fixed in DECnet Phase IV-Prime and Phase V.

%MNCHK-W-NOROOTNS, no root nameservers are reachable

Facility: MULTINET CHECK

Meaning: If a root nameserver is configured locally, it cannot be reached. There is no problem if a root nameserver is not local.

Action: Establish or fix the root nameserver using the directions in the Administrator's Guide.

Modify_Attributes, don't have write access

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: A sanity check in the NFS server failed, indicating a coding error.

Action: Contact Technical Support.

Modify_Attributes I/O error, VMS Status = vms_hex_error

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The server failed to update the attributes of a file to satisfy a write or setattr operation.

Action: Contact Technical Support.

More than 40 found . . .

Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT

Meaning: Kerberos is hardcoded to support a maximum of 40 principal names per instance. You can have up to 40 types of services registered for use on a single server.

Action: Limit the number of principals for services on a particular server to 40.

Note! Different servers can share the same principal. For example, TELNET and the R services use the same "rcmd" principal because they give similar access to a server.

mount: access denied for client_name

Facility: NFS

Meaning: The NFS server is refusing client mount requests. client_name is either the name of the client requesting access or the name of the client whose mount request was refused. Depending on the subsequent message, the server may be refusing client mount requests because of the following:

1. The client's IP address is not authorized because it is in the restriction list of the RPCMOUNT server (set with MULTINET CONFIGURE /SERVER).

2. The requested directory does not exist on the server system. (The message states RPCMOUNT could not get a file handle for the mount point.)

3. The client did not provide UNIX-style login authorization credentials, or those credentials are not in the current configuration file.

Action: Find the message that follows this one in this guide and follow the instructions provided.

%MOUNT-F-CTRLERR, fatal controller error

Facility: MOUNT

Meaning: There is a compatibility problem between IBM RS/6000 hosts and OpenVMS. This error appeared while attempting to rewind a 9-track tape mounted on the RS/6000 host.

Action: An RS/6000 host does not communicate well with OpenVMS hosts. Try rewinding the tape from RSHELL with the following commands:

        $ RSHELL hostname "/etc/rmt"
        I5
        1

If the "E5 There is an input or output error" message appears after you execute this command, place a support call to IBM to find out why rewinding the tape causes this error. Alternately, the following PERL script is offered as an unsupported option to problems between RS/6000 and OpenVMS hosts:

#!/bin/perl
# Acknowledgements to Daniel Packman for supplying this script.
# Wrapper to convert input rmt requests to
# AIX 3.2 ioctl numbers. We pass on all commands we don't
# understand.
# I0 MTWEOF -> I10 STWEOF write and end-of-file record
# I1 MTFSF -> I11 STFSF forward space file
# I2 MTBSF -> I12 STRSF reverse space file
# I3 MTFSR -> I13 STFSR forward space record
# I4 MTBSR -> I14 STRSR reverse space record
# I5 MTREW -> I6   STREW rewind

#I11 MTNBSF (backward space file to BOF ... no ibm equivalent?)
@iocs = (10,11,12,13,14,6,5,0,8,7);
open(RMT,"|/usr/sbin/rmt") || die "Can't open pipe to rmt\n";
select(RMT);
$| = 1;
while (STDIN>) {
    s/(^I)(\d$)/I$iocs[$2]/;
    exit 0 if $_ =~ /^[Qq]/;
    print RMT $_ ; }
exit 0;

Install the script on an AIX host containing a Perl interpreter in place of the /etc/rmt symbolic link. This script intercepts and translates ioctl numbers to AIX local values.

%MOUNT-F-UNSAFE, drive unsafe

Facility: MOUNT/FOREIGN

Meaning: This message occurs when attempting to rewind a 9-track tape mounted on a IBM RS/6000.

Action: Refer to the description for the %MOUNT-F-CTRLERR error for solving this problem.

%MOUNT-F-VOLALRMNT, another volume of same label already mounted

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: In an LAVC with two VAX hosts, VAX A and VAX B, only node VAX A has MultiNet. In the LAVC, VAX A has mounted a disk from VAX B and then exported this disk for UNIX NFS-clients in this net. If VAX B crashes (or shuts down), VAX B cannot reboot because VAX A holds the disk (as an exported disk) from VAX B. This message appears when VAX B reboots.

Action: If VAX B disappears for longer than the time specified in the SYSGEN parameter MVTIMEOUT (on VAX A), VAX A will change the state of the disk from mount-verify to mount-verify-timeout and return an error to any application waiting to access it on VAX A. To remount this disk, dismount it on VAX A. Raise the value of MVTIMEOUT (the default is 1 hour) to the longest period you expect VAX B to be down.

%MULTINET-F-ECONNCLOSED, Connection closed

Facility: Remote host access utility

Meaning: An attempt to send information failed with this message. The remote host closed the connection prematurely, possibly due to a timeout error.

Action: Contact the administrator on the remote host before retrying.

MULTINET-F-ECONNREFUSED, Connection refused

Facility: Variable

Meaning: If accompanied by X11DEBUG messages, ensure DECwindows is started before starting MultiNet in SYSTARTUP_VMS.COM.

Action: If DECwindows does not start before MultiNet, refer to the message "%DECW-W-ATT_FAIL, failed to attach transport TCPIP" for a complete description of how to avoid this situation. Otherwise, examine SYS$MANAGER:DECW$SERVER_0_ERROR.LOG to see why DECwindows could not connect to MultiNet.

MULTINET-F-ECONNRESET, connection reset by peer

Facility: FTP, LPD, and variable

Meaning: The remote side of a TCP connection terminated the connection unexpectedly with a TCP RST (Reset) packet. If the user aborted an FTP transfer, this message is normal. If the user did not abort the FTP transfer, this message indicates an abnormal termination or abnormal behavior at the remote end of the TCP connection.

Action: Gather information on the remote host's configuration. Contact Process Software Technical Support, and be prepared to duplicate the behavior and generate a TCPDUMP for analysis.

MULTINET-F-EHOSTUNREACH

Facility: Variable

Meaning: An attempt failed to establish a SLIP link between an OpenVMS host and a terminal server. An attempt to use PING resulted in a MULTINET-F-ENOBUFS message.

Action: Use the MULTINET SHOW/BUF command to check for any logged "requests for memory denied". If there are none, the terminal server is not accepting data from the VAX. Try power cycling everything and try again.

This message can also mean the terminal port is set to /MODEM but no modem carrier (DTR) is present.

%MULTINET-F-EHOSTUNREACH, No route to host

Facility: Variable

Meaning: A restrictive gateway between the local and remote hosts is sending ICMP UNREACHABLE in response to only some types of packets. Find the remote host using MULTINET NSLOOKUP and MULTINET TRACEROUTE.

Action: If you run TCPDUMP as a subprocess watching for ICMP packets and try a command such as RCP, the offending router becomes visible. Generally, restrictive gateways are set up because system administrators do not want "R" services performed to their hosts.

%MULTINET-W-ENOBUFS, No buffer space available

Facility: Variable

Meaning: There is not enough kernel buffer space or too much data is backed up while waiting for the Ethernet controller to send data.

Action: Run MULTINET SHOW /BUFFERS to determine if adequate buffers are available, paying special attention to lines that state "requests for memory denied." These lines indicate more kernel buffer space is required. To ensure an application is not consuming the kernel buffer space, contact Technical Support for information and system analysis.

%MULTINET-F-ERREADFLAGS, error reading interface flags for device
-MULTINET-F-ENXIO, No such device or address

Facility: MULTINET CONFIGURE

Meaning: These messages appear after adding an interface, and attempts to connect to the interface fail.

This error can also display when the definition for MULTINET_ROOT includes two different devices, one of which is a RAM disk.

Action: Use the MULTINET SHOW/STAT command to list the devices recognized by the MultiNet server. If the device you configured is not listed, reboot your host and restart MultiNet.

%MULTINET-F-ETIMEDOUT, Connection timed out

Facility: TELNET, FTP, and other remote host access or print utilities

Meaning: This message can have two meanings.

· The host to which the remote access was attempted is down or not on the network. If access is to a remote printer, it may be powered off or configured incorrectly. When a host fails, the connection can appear to hang before this message appears. The length of time the connection hangs before this message appears is hardcoded in the TCP kernel and cannot be changed. It is set high intentionally so that a user can press Ctrl/Y to escape the application.

· No response was received to a SYN packet (request to open a TCP connection) sent by MultiNet. This can occur when the remote host has a problem at its end with the SMTP server being too busy, or some sort of network problem is filtering SMTP packets.

Action: Determine the status of the remote host before proceeding.

%MULTINET-F-MTUERR, error setting MTU for sen
-MULTINET-F-EBUSY, Mount device busy

Facility: MULTINET SET

Meaning: These messages appear when using the MULTINET SET/INTERFACE/MTU=nn command on se0.

Action: The MTU is a property of the hardware interface and should not be set. MultiNet uses the lower MSS when transmitting to a host not on your network.

To diagnose this problem, use a network analyzer, TCPDUMP, or TCPVIEW, and watch the connection when it fails (hangs). You will see the OpenVMS host retransmitting the same TCP data constantly, with no acknowledgements sent back. Next, put a network analyzer at the remote site and see if the data packets do arrive. This condition can be caused by a "Pattern-sensitive link," a link that lets certain packets through, but not others.

MultiNet's Path MTU Discovery (RFC1191) determines automatically the largest MTU that can be used between the MultiNet host and a remote host.

%MULTINET-F-SETPORT, unable to connect VMS device device:
to MultiNet kernel for sln

Facility: SLIP

Meaning: A terminal line connected to the SLIP device failed.

Action: Invoke a REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK/TEMP, read the OPCOM messages, and proceed accordingly.

MULTINET-W-STARTUPERR, error starting ethernet device name

Facility: MultiNet

Meaning: Two hosts on your network have the same Ethernet hardware address. The most likely cause is the same setting of the SYSGEN parameter SCSSYSTEMID. Preinstalled OpenVMS comes with SCSSYSTEMID set to 65534.

Action: Change the value of SCSSYSTEMID.

MultiNet Printer Symbiont: Couldn't connect to host ip_addr port nnn

Facility: LPD

Meaning: The terminal server/printer is refusing the connection, probably because of a race condition.

Action: Contact the system administrator for the other host or the printer's manufacturer.

MultiNet Printer Symbiont: Error while waiting for ack of CF file:
%SYSTEM-W-CANCEL, operation canceled, ABORTING PRINT JOB

Facility: MultiNet

Meaning: An attempt to print a file caused these messages to appear.

Action: The printer is not responding to the request where MultiNet sends the CF file. Call the printer vendor.

MultiNet Printer Symbiont: Negative acknowledgement from IP_addr
lpr queue not enabled (check printer type and printcap entry)

Facility: LPR

Meaning: This message appears while attempting to set up a remote printer queue to a Tektronics Phaser IISD with a network interface module. There is no printer queue or daemon set up on the Tektronics. This message displays if you use the DCL command PRINT/QUEUE=TEKPS TEST.PS (where the queue setup using the Printer Configuration Utility is called TEKPS, and TEST.PS is a valid PostScript file).

Action: This message is originated by the Tektronics server. Check the manual for that device. The LPR/LPD protocol requires a printer name.

MultiNet Printer Symbiont: Negative acknowledgement waiting for ack
of remote printer specification.

Facility: LPD

Meaning: A print queue is configured incorrectly. The printer is known to be working correctly, and the print queue was added with the CONFIG/PRINT utility.

Action: Enter the following command to get additional information about the queue:

$ MULTINET SHOW/QUEUE=queue

The most likely causes are the queue name was specified incorrectly in either the print command or in the queue configuration, or the OpenVMS host name was not added to the /etc/hosts.lpd file on the UNIX host.

MultiNet Server: BootP: hardware address not found: address

Facility: BOOTP

Meaning: This message is generated by BOOTP during normal operation and indicates an address was not found.

Action: Ignore this message. To disable the reporting of this message, enter the following command:

$ MULTINET NETCONTROL BOOTP DEBUG -1

To make this change permanent, follow the instructions in the service configuration section of the Administrator's Guide. Changes take effect after starting the master server.

To find the offending node, use TCPDUMP or TCPVIEW.

MultiNet Server: Couldn't start RPCLOCKMGR, NFS/RPCLockmgr server not responding

Facility: NFS

Meaning: NFS cannot be added to a configuration; instead, MultiNet must be reinstalled and NFS selected at that time. This message appears when NFS was configured improperly.

Action: Enter the following commands and contact Technical Support with the results:

$ REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK/TEMP
$ MULTINET NETCONTROL NFS START

MultiNet Server: $CREPRC failed, status = 39c

Facility: MultiNet Server

Meaning: Your host is out of process slots (per the message associated with the 39c status or "%SYSTEM-F-NOSLOT, no PCP available" message).

Action: Use SYSGEN to raise MAXPROCESSCNT to a higher value to increase the number of process slots. Alternatively, enter the following command and reboot your host:

$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS SETPARAMS FEEDBACK

AUTOGEN detects there are no more process slots and creates more.

MultiNet Server: DHCP Control: DHCP server not starting; BOOTP service enabled.

Facility: DHCP

Meaning: DHCP and BOOTP use the same port, so only one of them can be running at a time. DHCP provides all the functions of BOOTP as well as dynamic addressing. The DHCP server can function as a BOOTP server, answering both BOOTP and DHCP client requests.

Action: Disable BOOTP if you want to run DHCP.

MultiNet Server: Failure to create VMS print job = %XC

Facility: MultiNet Server

Meaning: The SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file is corrupted.

Action: Get a fresh copy of the SERVICES.MASTER_ SERVER file from the MultiNet installation kit and restart the master server.

MultiNet Server: No Program to merge specified for server RPCLOCKMGR

Facility: MultiNet Server

Meaning: The SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file is corrupted.

Action: Get a fresh copy of the SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file from the MultiNet installation kit and restart the master server.

Multinet Server: R_SERVICES: Bogus state dispatch, DCL still running

Facility: "R" Services

Meaning: An unexpected error occurred with the RSHELL or REXEC server, but the server process continued to run.

Action: If you can duplicate the message, contact Technical Support.

MultiNet Server: R_SERVICES: Couldn't create Mailbox (VMS error 2a14)

Facility: "R" Services

Meaning: An attempt to start an RSHELL process on an OpenVMS host from a UNIX host failed.

Action: Edit the MULTINET:START_SERVER.COM file to change the invocation of RUN MULTINET:SERVER at the end to /BUFFER=10000000 from the current value, and restart the MULTINET_SERVER process. This provides sufficient quota to overcome the problem.

MultiNet Server: R_SERVICES: gethostbyaddr(ip_address) failed

Facility: "R" Services

Meaning:

1. An rsh from a UNIX host to an OpenVMS host failed. On the UNIX host, a "Permission denied" message is displayed, and the above message appeared on the OpenVMS host in the SYS$MANAGER:OPERATOR.LOG file.

2. An attempt was made to access a remote host using RLOGIN. The PC making the connection is not listed in the domain.

Action: Ensure the MULTINET_NAMESERVERS logical name is not defined on the server host, and the IP address is in its host tables. If it is, try the following:

$ MULTINET HOST COMPILE
$ @MULTINET:INSTALL_DATABASES
$ @MULTINET:START_SERVER

For DNS, add A.B.C.D to the DNS zone information file with a PTR record.

MultiNet Server: R_SERVICES: I/O error
%MULTINET-W-ECONNCLOSED, Connection closed

Facility: "R" services

Meaning: An "R" services client canceled a receive request before the server finished sending all of the requested information. Under these circumstances, you can ignore this message.

Action: Either the system-wide login command procedure or the user's login command is returning output other than what the client expects to see (such as DCL command output). The client is responding by terminating the connection.

Ensure the login command procedures contain the following two lines at the top of each file:

$ verify = 'f$verify(0)'
$ if f$mode() .eqs. "OTHER" then exit

Be sure to insert a single quote before F$VERIFY and specify OTHER in uppercase.

MultiNet Server: R_SERVICES: Socket read error
%MULTINET-W-ECONNRESET, Connection reset by peer

Facility: Pathworks

Meaning: The X server supplied with PATHWORKS assumes incorrectly that if it can connect to an REXEC server, it is talking to a UNIX host because UCX does not have REXEC. If PATHWORKS fails to connect via REXEC, it reverts to using TELNET and sends DCL correctly.

Action: Disable the REXEC server with the MULTINET CONFIGURE/SERVER command.

MultiNet Server: Service FINGER pid nn failed: access violation,
reason mask=!XB, virtual address=!XL, PC=!XL, PS

Facility: FINGER

Meaning: A server (in this case a FINGER server) attempted to get the address of a host with no such DNS record.

Action: Add a DNS record for the host.

MultiNet Server: Service name pid nn failed: file specification syntax error

Facility: MULTINET

Meaning: When the service was enabled with the MULTINET CONFIGURE /SERVER utility, a syntax error was introduced into the service information. For example, this error occurred because FINGER was enabled with the following command:

SERVER-CONFIG>SET PROGRAM "MULTINET:FINGER"

The correct syntax does not include the quotes:

SERVER-CONFIG>SET PROGRAM MULTINET:FINGER

Action: Use the SHOW command in MULTINET CONFIGURE /SERVER to list information about the service, and reconfigure the service with the correct information.

MultiNet Server: Unexpected Exception in MULTINET_SERVER process

Facility: MultiNet Server

Meaning: The SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file is corrupted.

Action: Get a fresh copy of the SERVICES.MASTER_SERVER file from the MultiNet installation kit and restart the master server.

MULTINET_SHOW: can't connect to mount server: RPC: Timed out

Facility: NFS

Meaning: This error occurs when there is more NFS client information than can fit into an 8192-byte UPD datagram. This error also occurs when using MULTINET SHOW/NFSMOUNT when a host has a great number of NFS clients.

Action: There is no known fix.

MULTINET_SHOW: No MultiNet Kernel

Facility: MultiNet

Meaning: The use of MULTINET SHOW /CONN failed. MULTINET_SHOW.EXE may have been disabled or the MULTINET: directory purged and the MULTINET.EXE file was lost.

Action: Reboot the system.

MULTINET_SHOW: Timed out. Resending... * * *
MULTINET_SHOW: Timeout - SNMP Response not received from remote host

Facility: SNMP

Meaning: This message appears when SNMP is disabled on a host.

Action: If the remote host uses MultiNet, enable SNMP service with the MULTINET CONFIGURE /SERVERS command. If the remote host does not use MultiNet, contact the remote system manager to resolve the problem.

MultiNet SMTP Server: Failed to merge user written SMTP customization
image: %LIB-E-KEYNOTFOU, key not found in tree

Facility: SMTP

Meaning: Two new routines were added in MultiNet V3.2 to the USER_SMTP_DISPATCH.C interface. The SMTP server is failing because it cannot find those new routines.

Action: Merge your changes into the current release of the USER_SMTP_DISPATCH.C file. Recompile this file and link with the LINK /SHARE switch. This qualifier must be used when linking any of the customizable files provided with MultiNet.

After compiling and linking, make sure there is only one copy of USER_SMTP_DISPATCH.EXE on your host and it (the new copy) resides in the MULTINET_COMMON_ ROOT:[MULTINET] directory.

Must use comma to separate addresses: address

Facility: IMAP Server

Meaning: The server tried parsing a malformed RFC822 message header. These errors are encountered when parsing headers which are malformed intentionally by the sender in order to avoid tracing.

Action: None.

named: bad referral (’domain’ !’domain’) from ’server’

Facility: DNS

Meaning: A DNS zone file is misconfigured so that each time a query comes in for one of the names associated with the authoritative name server, it refers back up the tree. This occurs when the zone file delegation information does not match the information maintained by the NIC.

Action: If this is a zone you are responsible for, configure your name server as authoritative for these domains, or ask the NIC to fix the delegation information in its database.

named: Lame server on ’domain’ (in ’domain’?): [IP-Address].53 ’server’

Facility: DNS

Meaning: A DNS name server is misconfigured. This message was added as a feature to help diagnose name server problems.

Action: Many sites find this extra information creates additional overhead, especially when the misconfigured name server is not located at their site. This message is enabled by default, but you can disable it using MULTINET:NAMED.CONF, as follows:

logging {
category lame-servers { null; };
};

net read: %MULTINET-F-ECONNRESET, Connection reset by peer
[Aborting data transfer]

Facility: FTP

Meaning: Because no data was received during an FTP session for more than five minutes, FTP timed out and dropped the session.

Action: If the session timed out while information was being entered, a network problem occurred. If the FTP server is on a host running MultiNet, set the MultiNet logical MULTINET_FTP_MAXIMUM_IDLE_TIME to a new value. If the server is not running MultiNet, contact the remote system manager to resolve the problem.

Net use failed (code 5).

Facility: TELNET

Meaning: This message is not generated by MultiNet, but was reported when logging into an OpenVMS host from PC/NFS using TELNET.

Action: Code "5" indicates an EIO, I/O error. Use the following command on the OpenVMS host:

$ REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK/TEMP

Then TELNET from the PC to generate an OPCOM message that will provide additional information for diagnosing the problem.

New_File out of virtual memory.

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The server could not allocate enough virtual memory to cache a new file header.

Action: Reduce the setting of the server's MAXIMUM-CACHE-FILES parameter, or increase the size of the server process' pagefile quota (using AUTHORIZE) or the value of the OpenVMS system parameter VIRTUALPAGECNT (using SYSGEN/AUTOGEN).

New-mail timer too low

Facility: IMAP Server

Meaning: The set newmail-timer directive in the .IMAPRC file specified a value that was too low. The default and minimum allowed value is 30 seconds.

Action: Change the value in .IMAPRC.

NFS 005F: Authentication failure.
(A)bort, (R)etry or (I)gnore?

Facility: PC/NFS

Meaning: An attempt to mount a file system failed.

Action: Try the following:

1. Ensure that the password is 8 characters or less. Some PCs send only the first 8 characters.

2. Ensure a UID translation is in effect for that user (and in the proper NFS-GROUP if any NFS-GROUPs are enabled).

3. If steps one and two fail, enable debugging in the PCNFSD server:

$ REPLY/ENABLE=NETWORK/TEMP
$ MULTINET NETCONTROL PCNFDS DEBUG 10

If the error is still not obvious, contact Technical Support.

NFS SERVER: Couldn't allocate miniprocess

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: MultiNet could not start the MultiNet NFS Server because insufficient MultiNet kernel memory was available for the necessary structures.

Action: Contact Technical Support.

NFS SERVER: Couldn't create RPC transport

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The server was unable to allocate enough memory for the RPC transports.

Action: Use a lower setting for the server parameter NUMBER-OF-RPC-TRANSPORTS.

NFS SERVER: Couldn't create RPC transport stack

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The server was unable to allocate enough memory for the RPC transports.

Action: Use a lower setting for the server parameter NUMBER-OF-RPC-TRANSPORTS.

NFS SERVER: Error getting socket structure

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The server could not obtain a socket to listen on.

Action: Retry the operation.

NFS Server: Server/Kernel version mismatch

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: MultiNet could not start the MultiNet NFS Server because of an incompatibility between the server and MultiNet kernel versions.

Action: Contact Technical Support.

NFS Server: SVC_RECV failed

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The server encountered an error when reading a packet from the network. This error message can appear during normal server restart operations.

Action: Contact Technical Support.

NFS Server: UDP SVC_RECV failed

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: This message appears on OPCOM when the MultiNet server is restarted.

Action: The server is receiving spurious information and the error results from a decoding problem at the RPC layer. Use a network analyzer or MULTINET TCPVIEW to obtain additional information about the problem.

NFS Server: Unexpected Exception in Kernel-Mode

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The OpenVMS server encountered an unexpected signal (for example, ACCVIO) that indicates a coding error in the MultiNet NFS Server. A stack dump follows the display of either message, and the server either exits or hibernates to facilitate debugging.

Action: Contact Technical Support.

NFS Server: Warning: writeback cache non-empty

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: This message appears with the Unexpected Exception error messages. The writeback cache was not empty when the exception occurred, and the data in the writeback cache was lost.

Action: Contact Technical Support.

%NFSDISMNT-F-DISMOUNTERR, Dismount Error

Facility: NFSDISMOUNT

Meaning: A mounted NFS file system could not be dismounted.

Action: Examine the additional diagnostic messages for more information.

%NFSMOUNT-F-BADRPCTRANSPORT, couldn't create RPC transport to node
-MULTINET-F-EACCES, Permission denied

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: The node could not be mounted.

Action:

· Ensure the configuration on node has knowledge of the new node name in the host table or DNS.

· The node configuration does not know the specified mount point is exported to the node.

%NFSMOUNT-F-BADRPCTRANSPORT, couldn't create RPC transport to host>.
%NFSMOUNT-F-RPCCREATEERROR, RPC Create Error: RPC: Program not registered.

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning:

1. The NFSMOUNT utility could not create an RPC transport.

2. An attempt to mount a file system on a UNIX host failed. This error can occur when the NFS server on the other host is not running.

3. The specified service is not enabled on the NFS server.

4. If the /TRANSPORT=TCP qualifier is used with the NFSMOUNT command, the server does not speak NFS-over-TCP.

5. The RPCMOUNT daemon on the remote host went down.

Action:

Ensure NFS and MOUNT are registered. On a UNIX host, use the rpcinfo -p command, as shown in the following example:

# rpcinfo -p fnord
program vers proto   port
100021    3   tcp   2049 nlockmgr
100021    1   tcp   2049 nlockmgr
100021    3   udp   2049 nlockmgr
100021    1   udp   2049 nlockmgr

. . .

All RPC programs listed are registered. If a host name is not specified in the rpcinfo command, the default is the local host. This command only works with SunOS V3.0 and later.

If necessary, enable the specified service.

%NFSMOUNT-F-BADRSIZE, Illegal NFS Read size specified

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: The /READ_SIZE qualifier was specified with a value less than 128 bytes or greater than 8192 bytes.

Action: Repeat the NFSMOUNT command, specifying a value within this range.

%NFSMOUNT-F-BADTIMEOUT, Illegal NFS Timeout value specified

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: The /TIMEOUT qualifier was specified with a value less than one (one-tenth of a second).

Action: Repeat the NFSMOUNT command, specifying a value of 1 or greater.

%NFSMOUNT-F-BADWSIZE, Illegal NFS Write size specified

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: The /WRITE_SIZE qualifier was specified with a value outside of the 128-to-8192 byte range.

Action: Repeat the NFSMOUNT command, specifying a value within this range.

%NFSMOUNT-F-CANTLOAD, couldn't reload NFS UID translation table
-SYSTEM-W-NONEXPR, nonexistent process.

Facility: NFSMOUNT /RELOAD

Meaning: No file system has been mounted or the NFS client ACP has crashed. When a file system is mounted, all UID translations are loaded.

Action: Ensure the NFS client ACP is running by mounting a file system.

%NFSMOUNT-F-MOUNTERR, Mount Error

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: The RPCMOUNT server rejected the mount request.

Action: Examine the additional diagnostic messages for more information.

%NFSMOUNT-F-NFSERR, NFS error
-MULTINET-F-ESTALE, Stale file Handle

Facility: NFS

Meaning:

1. A file was deleted while it was in use.

2. The getattr() NFS call to read the attributes of the mount point failed unexpectedly.

3. The NFS server crashed.

Action: Restart the NFS Server. For a MultiNet NFS server, use the command:

$ MULTINET NETCONTROL NFS RESTART

%NFSMOUNT-F-NOACCESS, access denied for mount_point

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: This is a generic refusal message sent by the server in response to a mount request. The RPCMOUNT server is not allowing this user or client access to the remote file system.

Action: Generally, the mount_point host is not listed in /etc/exports. Add the client to the export list on the server and retry the mount command.

%NFSMOUNT-F-NOMOUNTRESPONSE, Mount server on "hostname" not responding

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: The remote RPCMOUNT server is unavailable or unreachable. The cause is a timeout error.

Action: Examine any additional diagnostic messages to see why the server could not be contacted.

%NFSMOUNT-F-NONFSRESPONSE, NFS server on "TECHNO" not responding:
RPC: Authentication error; why = Invalid client credential

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: NFS did not start after it was installed. This error may also occur because the remote NFS server is unavailable or unreachable, typically due to a timeout error.

Action: Use the following command to restart the NFS server:

$ MULTINET NETCONTROL NFS RESTART

%NFSMOUNT-F-NOREMOTEHOST, No remote host specified

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: The file system to be mounted must be specified in the form node::"mount_point".

Action: Retry the command with the correct syntax.

%NFSMOUNT-I-MOUNTED, node::mount_point NFS mounted on mount_device

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: Informational message only, indicating the successful completion of a mount operation.

Action: None.

%NFSMOUNT-I-WAITDNS, waiting for the Domain Nameserver to start

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: After rebooting the host, MultiNet began to start up, but stopped after the point when the NFS Server was starting in user mode. The domain name server is not initialized fully (usually because NFSMOUNT was used during or immediately after starting the network).

NFSMOUNT does not know whether the local name server has not started or there is a global problem. It waits 60 seconds to be sure it is a global problem.

Action: Add the hosts from which you are mounting in your HOSTS.LOCAL file. That way, if DNS fails (or has not started), NFSMOUNT falls back to the host tables.

%NFSMOUNT-W-NOPRIVMOUNTPORT,
Not using privileged UDP port for MOUNT request

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Meaning: The NFSMOUNT command was run from a process without SYSPRV privilege and could not obtain a privileged socket from which to make the mount request. Some servers will not respond to a mount request from a non-privileged socket. NFSMOUNT requires CMKRNL, SETPRV, SYSPRV, SYSNAM, ALTPRI, DETACH, ACNT, and SYSLCK privileges.

Action: Repeat the command with the correct privileges.

%NFSMOUNT-W-NOPRIVNFSPORT, Not using privileged UDP port for NFS request

Facility: NFSMOUNT

Action: Repeat the command with the correct privileges.

nfs_read: Unexpected small buffer, fid (...)]

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: A sanity check in the NFS Server failed, which may indicate a corruption issue. Analyze the file specified by the fid.

Action: Contact Technical Support.

· The server could not allocate virtual memory to cache requested material from disk. Reduce the setting of the server's MAXIMUM-CACHE-BUFFERS parameter, or increase the value of the server-process pagefile quota (using AUTHORIZE) or the setting of the OpenVMS system parameter VIRTUALPAGECNT (using SYSGEN/AUTOGEN).

No space left on device (ENOSPC)

Facility: NFS Server

Meaning: The server received an unexpected SS$_DEVICEFULL error message from the OpenVMS XQP. If the writeback feature is enabled, preceding write operations may not have completed, and some data may have been lost before reaching the disk.

Action: Rewrite the file later when disk space is available.

No subscriptions

Facility: IMAP Server

Meaning: Either the server could not read the user's subscription file or the client attempted to unsubscribe a folder that was not subscribed.

Action: Check that there is sufficient disk space and that the server has sufficient privileges to write to the user's mail directory.

No such file or directory (ENOENT)

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: One of the following conditions occurred:

· The requested file was not found in the directory (the "lookup" subfunction did not complete).

· The OpenVMS XQP returned an unexpected SS$_NOSUCHFILE error message.

%PSM-E-OPENIN, error opening filename as input
RMS-F-DEV, error in device name or inappropriate device type for operation

Facility: NFS (printing between hosts)

Meaning: The symbiont process that handles the print queue is not executing on the same node in the VMScluster where the print request was made.

Action: Configure the network so the node that handles NFS mounts also manages the print queue. This restriction is also true for all printing from devices not mounted cluster-wide.

%PSM-E-OPENIN, error opening SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB as input
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found

Facility: LPD

Meaning: A print queue to a UNIX host worked correctly until JBCSYSQUE.DAT was restored from a backup file and the OpenVMS host was rebooted. When a file is printed, the following message appears on a printed page:

%PSM-E-OPENIN, error opening !AS as input

You may have a default form defined that has a /SETUP module and no library name defined in the MultiNet queue.

Action: SYS$LIBRARY:SYSDEVCTL.TLB is the default name of the text library that contains setup modules for printer queues that have the /SETUP attribute for the form mounted on them. The queue may be set up with a specific form that requires a setup module. Use this command to list the specified forms:

$ SHOW QUEUE/FORM/FULL

Change the form specified for the queue or initialize the queue with the proper setup library (/LIBRARY=).

%PSM-E-READERR, error reading !AS
-RMS-W-RTB, !UL byte record too large for user's buffer

Facility: LPR

Meaning: A PostScript bitmap file was sent to the print queue. These messages appear from a print queue on an OpenVMS host that sends the print jobs to a UNIX host via lpr.

Action: On the UNIX host initiating the job, use the lpr -v command to print the file. The -v option causes MultiNet LPR to treat the file as binary data and make it a FIX-512 file format.

%PSM-E-READERR, error reading print_file
-RMS-W-RTB, nnn byte record too large for users buffer.

Facility: LPD

Meaning: An error occurred while attempting to print DOS spreadsheets on an OpenVMS printer.

Action: The OpenVMS symbiont cannot print files that have a large record length. If the files are binary, you may be able to print them with the lpr -v option.

%PSM-E-WRITEERR, error writing !AS
-SYSTEM-F-NOTPRINTED, failed to queue spool file for print

Facility: LPD

Meaning: With a MultiNet print queue set up to point to a Gatorbox offering LPD print services to AppleTalk printers, an OpenVMS user queued a file while another job was already printing.

Action: This error is caused by MultiNet receiving a NAK in the protocol when it was not expected, probably on the printer name. Discuss this problem with the Gatorbox vendor.

%PSM-E-WRITEERR, error writing !AS
-SYSTEM-W-NOMSG, Message number 000081B0

Facility: LPD

Meaning: This message appeared during a failed attempt to print on a remote host. 81B0 is the MultiNet status for Connection reset by peer (ECONNRESET). This status occurs when the remote host has rebooted and the local node attempts to transmit on a stale connection.

Action: Retry when you are sure the remote host is available.

%QUEMAN-F-OPENOUT, error opening queue_name as output
-RMS-E-FLK, file currently locked by another user

Facility: MR_TO_MULTINET

Meaning: When MR_TO_MULTINET.COM was run, it quit unexpectedly and SMTP mail waiting in the queue was not delivered.

Action: Modify the MR_TO_MULTINET.COM file to either track down the problem or prevent it from occurring.

%RCP-F-ERROR, message

Facility: "R" Services

Meaning: A login procedure or shell script is displaying one or more messages that are confusing the "R" service. On an OpenVMS host, either the SYLOGIN.COM or a LOGIN.COM file has a command displaying information or messages written to SYS$OUTPUT. On a UNIX host, the file displaying the message can be called by the .profile file, .cshrc, .login, or other login startup file.

Action: On an OpenVMS host, make sure the login command procedures contain the following two lines at the top of each file:

$ verify = 'f$verify(0)'
$ if f$mode() .eqs. "OTHER" then exit

Be sure to insert a single quote before F$VERIFY and specify OTHER in uppercase.

On the UNIX host, find the command that is displaying output and remove it from the file. One command known to cause this problem is the UNIX stty command. You can test which command is displaying the message by entering this command:

$ rshell unix_system_name pwd

Read only file system (EROFS)

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The client tried to modify a read-only file system.

Action: Inform the user of the situation; enable write access if required.

%RMS-E-DNF, directory not found

Facility: FTP

Meaning: This message appears while attempting to use a third-party FTP program for a PC. When the /VERBOSE qualifier was used to log transactions between the server and client, it was discovered the third-party vendor was violating the terms of RFC-959 (the FTP specification) by not supplying an argument to the CWD command.

Action: Inform the third-party vendor that their FTP program is not in compliance with the RFC.

%RMS-W-RTB, nnn byte record too large for user's buffer

Facility: RSHELL

Meaning: A user tried to send several commands on the same command line to an OpenVMS host. DCL has a limit of 256 bytes for its command line read operations.

Action: Reformat the commands to circumvent this limitation.

%RMT-F-ALLOCERR, Error allocating RCD0 device
-SYSTEM-F-INSFSPTS, insufficient SPTEs available

Facility: RMTALLOC

Meaning: These messages appear when attempting to access a CD-ROM.

Action: Increase SPTREQ to the value shown in the Installation and Introduction.

%RMT-I-REMINFO, Remote error code 34516,
"%SYSTEM-F-NOMSG, Message number number"

Facility: RMTALLOC

Meaning: These messages appear while using RMTALLOC to access a tape. This error can be caused by a login command procedure displaying information from a command such as SET TERMINAL /INQUIRE. You can test this with the following command:

$ MULTINET RSHELL host "/etc/rmt"

Action: Fix the login command procedures so information is not displayed by adding the following two lines at the top of each login command procedure:

$ verify = 'f$verify(0)'
$ if f$mode() .eqs. "OTHER" then exit

Be sure to insert a single quote before F$VERIFY and specify OTHER in uppercase.
Add the following line at the end of each login command procedure:

$ IF VERIFY THEN SET VERIFY

RPC timed out server not responding

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: Client users receive this message when the OpenVMS server is not responding. When the message appears sporadically, the client may have specified too low a setting for the timeo parameter. When the message appears in response to every request, the NFS, RPCMOUNT, or RPCPORTMAP servers may not be running or responding.

Alternatively, the UNIX host sent a packet and an answer was not received in the amount of time allocated for a timeout. These situations can occur because:

· The NFS Server is not responding because the network is down or the NFS Server is hung.

· The NFS Server is responding, but not fast enough because:

o The client is timing out too quickly, or other software is not tuned properly to handle the amount of traffic between hosts.

o The OpenVMS host is moving too slowly because the CPU is overworked or under-capable.

o Users are performing time-intensive tasks that are slowing down the entire system. For example, if the NFS server is on a UNIX host, the files have variable-length, carriage return format. When a user executes an ls -l command on a very large file, NFS must find the end of the file before the command can finish. When there is heavy traffic on the NFS Server, this activity can take some time to complete.

The SET APPROXIMATE-TEXT-SIZE-THRESHOLD command in the MULTINET CONFIGURE /NFS utility improves text file performance. When set to a positive value, this feature determines file sizes only when the OpenVMS-indicated length of the file exceeds the specified threshold. This permits commands such as UNIX ls to execute much faster. When a file system is mounted from a UNIX host, use the /approximate-text-size qualifier to the UNIX mount command.

· A packet was not received, but the problem corrected itself. If this message appears once and the connection continues to function, it may only indicate a need to adjust system parameters.

Action: Determine if the connection is viable. Use PING to see if the host can be reached. Adjust system parameters if necessary. Issue the following command to list the protocols registered with the portmapper:

$ MULTINET SHOW/RPC

If any of the protocols are not listed, verify whether they are enabled. If they are not, enable them and restart the server.

RPCMount: Refused RPCMount request from client_name not authorized

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The server is denying all access to the requesting client because the client's IP address is in the restriction list of the RPCMOUNT server (set within the Server Configuration Utility).

Note! This restriction list is unrelated to any mount- restriction list that might exist.

Action: Fix the restriction list.

RPCMount: Rejected mount request from client_name
Couldn't get file handle for mount_point

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The NFS Server rejected the mount request because the requested directory does not exist on the server computer.

Action: Add the directory.

RPCMount: Rejected mount request from client_name
non-AUTH_UNIX credentials

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The MultiNet NFS Server denied the client access to the OpenVMS server because the client did not provide UNIX-style login authorization credentials or because those credentials are not in the current configuration file.

Action: This problem reflects an unresolvable incompatibility between the client NFS and another UNIX-style NFS.

RPCMount: Rejected mount request from impostor client_name
Name client_name doesn't map to address ip_address

RPCMount: Rejected mount request from client_name
unable to get hostname for ip_address

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The client-supplied mount-request authorization parameters failed the checks made by the NFS Server, and the mount request was rejected.

The server attempts the following calls:

· gethostbyaddr() on the requesting IP address to obtain the client's name

· gethostbyname() on the client name obtained by gethostbyaddr()

If the response to either query fails, the server displays the first message and rejects the request. If both queries succeed, but the IP address the client supplied is not one of the IP addresses obtained with gethostbyname(), the second message is printed and the request is rejected.

Action: If either message occurs as the result of a request from a valid client, check your host tables and domain name server database to make sure the client's name-to-address and address-to-name mappings are both correct.

RPCMount: Rejected mount request from ip_address
mount_point is not an exported filesystem

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The server rejected the mount request because the specified mount point does not exist on the server.

Action: Enter a valid mount point.

RPCMount: Rejected mount request from ip_address
mount_point is not an exported filesystem for client_name

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The mount request was rejected because a mount-restriction list exists for the requested file system and the requesting client is not represented on the list.

Action: If the client should be able to access the NFS server, use the SELECT mount_point command and then the ADD MOUNT-RESTRICTION command in the MULTINET CONFIGURE /NFS utility to add the client to the list.

se0: Transmit error (VMS Device Driver reported %X3c204c)

Facility: MultiNet

Meaning: The 204c code at the end of this message translates as %SYSTEM-F-DISCONNECT, process disconnected from requested interrupt vector, and usually indicates a problem with a bad transceiver or transceiver cable.

Action: If these messages appear sporadically, but other services work, ignore them. Otherwise, upgrade your host to the current version of MultiNet.

%SET-E-DEVOFFLINE "Device not in configuration"

Facility: TELNET

Meaning: This message appears while attempting to set /ALTYPEAHEAD on the NTY devices created by MultiNet to handle incoming TELNET connections.

Action: Set it as a system-wide default by changing the SYSGEN parameter TTY_DEFCHAR2, or with MultiNet V3.2 and later, you can patch MULTINET:MULTINET.EXE to set the ALTYPAHEAD bit in the NETWORK_PTY_DEVDEPND2_SET flags. Contact Technical Support.

%SET-E-NOMSG, Message number 1077808A

Facility: FTP

Meaning: This message appears when PUT or GET commands are issued during an FTP session.

Action: A SET command in the system-wide login command procedure is failing, such as a SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE command. Surround this command with the appropriate logic to prevent its execution if the job is of type NETWORK, for example:

$ If F$Mode() .eqs. "NETWORK" Then Goto Skip_Terminal
$ Set Terminal/ . . .
. . .
$ Skip_Terminal:

Action: Fix the LOGIN.COM file.

Signal caught, sig = signal code = sigtype old pc = program-counter exiting

Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT

Meaning: A signal was caught that made continued processing impossible. sigtype designates the type of signal. program-counter is the program-counter specified as the pc element of the sigcontext structure, defined in the signal.h header file in SYS$INCLUDE.

Action: Refer to the VAX C Run-Time Library Manual or the HP C Run-Time Library Manual for more information on signals and for the meaning of the signal code. The signal.h header file may also provide information on the cause of the problem. If the reason why this message occurred is not obvious, contact Technical Support.

Startup message, Debug level is value

Facility: X11-Gateway

Meaning: The X11-Gateway is starting. Debug level has been set to value.

Action: Informational message; no action is required.

Stale File System (ESTALE)

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: The client has referenced an old or invalid file handle (file identifier) while trying to perform a file system operation. The directory or file may no longer exist, or the disk may no longer be mounted.

Action: If neither condition is true and the message recurs, dismount and remount the file system on the clients that receive the message.

start_decnet: $QIOW error (status=vms_error_value)

Facility: X11-Gateway

Meaning: The X11-Gateway failed while attempting to start a read operation on the DECnet channel.

Action: Translate vms_error_value using the OpenVMS error manual. This error occurs because:

· The DECnet network failed or

· The client or server closed the connection or

· The client or server crashed or all three must happen

start_tcp: $QIOW error (status=vms_error_value)

Facility: X11-Gateway

Meaning: The X11-Gateway failed while attempting to start a read operation on an IP channel.

Action: Translate vms_error_value in the OpenVMS error manual. This error occurs because:

%SYSMAN-I-NODERR, error returned from node name
-SYSTEM-F-INSFMEM, insufficient dynamic memory

Facility: START_MULTINET

Meaning: These messages appear when MultiNet starts.

Action: MultiNet uses SYSMAN for loading device drivers and there is not enough free non-paged pool to load the drivers. Check memory with the SYSGEN command. Run AUTOGEN, as shown in the following example and reboot:

$ @SYS$UPDATE:AUTOGEN SAVPARAMS SETPARAMS FEEDBACK

%SYSTEM-E-NORIGHTSDB, rights data base file not found

Facility: LPD

Meaning: This message occurs when attempting to use LPR to spool output to the printer.

Action: Use the PRINT/USER= command to print a file under the user name that is having trouble. This should provide more information. If the result is not clear, contact Technical Support.

%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00,
virtual address=00000000, PC=address, PSL=nnnnnnnn

Facility: SMTP

Meaning: This message is a result of the symbiont's attempt to translate the logical name MULTINET_SMTP_RETURN_INTERVAL by using the VAX C Run-Time Library's getenv() function. When the logical name is not present, getenv returns NULL, which is passed to strlen() and results in the ACCVIO.

Action: Define MULTINET_SMTP_RETURN_INTERVAL on those hosts that use MultiNet SMTP support. If you want users to be able to use the SMTP% protocol prefix in OpenVMS MAIL, you have the following options:

· Route the SMTP%"..." messages through PMDF by adding the following command to your system startup:

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC MAIL$PROTOCOL_SMTP PMDF_MAILSHR

· Add the following command to your system startup:

$ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC MULTINET_SMTP_RETURN_INTERVAL "4 00:00:00"

· Add the following command to your system startup (after MultiNet is started):

$ @MULTINET:START_SMTP DEBUG

This command starts the queue and defines the logical names even though MultiNet SMTP support is disabled.

%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual address=00000000, PC=address, PS=nnnnnnnn
%TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows

Facility: OpenVMS porting

Meaning: A FINGER server violated the RFC and sent only LF and not CRLF for thousands of characters. FINGER failed with this message.

Action: Inform the administrator at the site that you were accessing with FINGER.

SYSTEM-F-BADVEC, invalid change mode or message vector

Facility: TCPDUMP

Meaning: When trying to trace an NFS problem, TCPDUMP failed and displayed this message.

Action: The image was corrupted. Re-install the image from your MultiNet distribution.

SYSTEM-F-FORCEDEXIT, forced exit of image or process by job controller

Facility: Xterminals

Meaning: An X terminal failed and all windows disappeared.

Action: Contact Technical Support if MultiNet was running at the time of failure.

SYSTEM-F-IVDEVNAM, invalid device name
-SHOW-W-OPENIN, error opening -name as input

Facility: RSHELL

Meaning: While using rsh on a UNIX host under C-Shell (csh), the use of a dash in the command caused an error.

Action: Quote the option using this format:

% rsh somewhere someprogram \"-CaseSensitiveOption\"

rsh commands can also fail because SHOW DISPLAY requires the WSA device name as its parameter or uses the WSA device pointed to by DECW$DISPLAY.

All X Window System programs that run on an OpenVMS host accept the -display option to pass the display location for DECnet connections only. For TCP/IP connections, wrap the program you want to run from the OpenVMS host in a DCL command file that creates the WSA device for you before invoking the program, as shown in the following sample program:

$! MyXProgram.Com
$ S = 'F$Verify(0)
$ Remote_Node = F$TrnLNM("MULTINET_RSHELL_ADDRESS")
$ Set Display/Create/Node="''Remote_Node'"/Transport=TCPIP
$ Run MyXProgram
$ Exit

To run the preceding program from a UNIX host, issue the following command:

% rsh vax \@MyXProgram

RSHELL does not return unless you create a detached process on the VAX on which you run your program.

%SYSTEM-F-NOLOGNAM, no logical name match

Facility: SEND or POP

Meaning: If this message appears after an attempt to use MULTINET SEND, the command failed because the MULTINET_SMTP_QUEUE logical was not defined on the current system.

If this message appears when using POP, POP3_SERVER.COM was run interactively.

Action: For MULTINET SEND, start SMTP with the following command:

$ START/QUEUE MULTINET_SMTP_QUEUE

For POP, POP3_SERVER.COM is run internally when a user connects to the POP3 port.

%SYSTEM-F-ILLIOFUNC ...

Facility: RRESTORE

Meaning: An HP host client sent an "S" status request after an rrestore if lowgmo:mt: command was invoked. This status request is non-standard and is not implemented by any vendors other than Hewlett-Packard.

Action: There is no known workaround.

%SYSTEM-F-INTDIV, arithmetic trap, integer divide by zero at location

Facility: MULTINET CHECK

Meaning: This message appeared while running MULTINET CHECK.

SYSTEM-F-VASFULL, virtual address space is full

Facility: SYSGEN

Meaning: The VIRTUALPAGECNT parameter is set too low.

Action: Assign a higher value (at least 50000) to the VIRTUALPAGECNT parameter and reboot the host.

tcp/ip remote startup error
timeout occurred connection to node: nodename

Facility: REXEC

Meaning: The following situations can cause this error:

· If you have rexec enabled, the PATHWORKS client assumes you are on a UNIX host.

· If you have an interactive prompt in your LOGIN.COM command procedure, the client tries to connect to the VAX using Telnet after rexec fails. It does not negotiate the terminal type, which causes some hosts to prompt interactively for the terminal type. This causes the client to hang and time out eventually.

· If you set your prompt to something other than "$", once the client establishes a TELNET connection it sends the user name and password and waits for the "$" prompt to return from the OpenVMS host.

Reset your prompt to "$", or look for the client-side option that allows you to define the prompt you are expecting.

· If DECnet is not running on your host, once the client logs on to your host it tries to open a DCL file channel to the DECnet object that handles remote application startup. If DECnet is not installed, this operation might fail.

Telnet: Out of space.

Facility: Kerberos TELNET

Meaning: MultiNet stops unexpectedly and this message appears. Kerberos cannot allocate an internal data structure.

Action: Either the page file quota for the master server and/or the SYSGEN parameter VIRTUALPAGECNT is set too low. Increase these parameters.

Text file busy (ETXTBSY)

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: Because an OpenVMS user was accessing a file when the client requested it, the server received an unexpected SS$_ACCONFLICT error message from the OpenVMS XQP.

Action: Retry the access again later.

There were more tuples found than there were space for

Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DATABASE EDIT

Meaning: A system error occurred while attempting to make the entry in the Kerberos database. No more space is available in the database.

Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY

Meaning: Tickets were destroyed successfully.

Action: None.

Tickets NOT destroyed.

Facility: MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY

Meaning: An error occurred during a MULTINET KERBEROS DESTROY activity with a cause other than ENOENT (no such file or directory). Causes can be:

· A protection error

· Access permissions are not correct

· File is locked by another process

Action: Make sure protection and access permissions are correct, and no other processes have access to the file.

Too many open files (EMFILE)

Facility: MultiNet NFS Server

Meaning: Because the directory and file cache is too large for one or more of the process quotas with which the server is configured, the server received an unexpected SS$_EXQUOTA error message from the OpenVMS XQP.

Action: Reduce the cache or increase process quotas as needed, and restart the server.

%TPU-E-OPENOUT, error opening filename as output
-RMS-E-PRV, insufficient privilege or file protection violation

Facility: NFS

Meaning: The directory of the NFS mount point has privileges that restrict access.

Action: Create a subdirectory of the mount point named .nfs-tmp-directory. Or, if you use the /SEMANTICS=VMS_FILENAMES qualifier to the NFSMOUNT command, name the directory nfs-tmp-directory.dir. Give this directory 777 permissions. The NFS client sees this directory and uses it for files instead of the mount point.

Debug this setup by displaying packets with the TCPDUMP/RPC=ALL/SNAP=1500 command of the NFS transactions associated with invoking TPU.

Trying... [IP_address] %MULTINET-F-EACCES, Permission denied

Facility: TELNET

Meaning: This error appears while accessing a Sun workstation on the same Ethernet connection. PING to the Sun works. This can occur with a misconfigured broadcast address MultiNet assumes is being accessed with TELNET.

Action: Enter the following command:

$ MULTINET SHOW/INTERFACE SE0

You can determine the broadcast address on the UNIX host with the ifconfig command, as shown in the following example:

[Solaris] $ ifconfig le0
le0: flags=63UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING>
inet 161.44.128.66 netmask ffffff00 broadcast 161.44.128.255

%UCX-E-LPD_REQREJECT, Print request rejected by host
%QMAN-I-INVSMBMSG, invalid data in message from symbiont on queue host

Facility: LPD

Meaning: Printing between hosts fails.

Action: Determine if the print queue is visible by running the following command:

$ MULTINET SHOW/QUEUE=queuename

Make sure user names match on both hosts. If they don't, set a default LPD user name for jobs from users who do not have corresponding user names on your host. Set a default LPD user name with the SET LPD-DEFAULT-USERNAME in the MULTINET CONFIGURE utility, and by setting the MULTINET_LPD_DEFAULT_USERNAME logical to the same login name.
