Solaris user and system administrator books in AnswerBook2™ format provided
with this system and consider UNIX system administration training.
How This Book Is Organized
This book contains the following chapters:
Chapter 1 introduces the DR and IDN error messages.
Chapter 2 contains the DR error messages that occur on the domain.
Chapter 3 contains the IDN error messages that occur on the domain.

CHAPTER

Domain Errors Introduction
This chapter contains an introduction to the DR and IDN error messages that occur
on the domain.
Note – If you do not find the error message in this book, refer to the error messages
in the Sun Enterprise 10000 Dynamic Reconfiguration User Guide or the Sun Enterprise
10000 InterDomain Networks User Guide in the SSP 3.3 Answerbook collection.
Searching the Tables in This Book
Before you use the tables in this book, take time to read the following list of search
tips so that you can find a specific message.
■ Search on a specific string of text in the error message.
■ Avoid using numeric values. They are treated as replaceable text in this book.
■ Avoid using text that is replaceable. In this book, the following names are used to
represent replaceable text in the error messages: descriptive message,
errno_description. device_name, target_path, mount_point , interface_name_instance,
interface_name, and partition_name.
■ If you are reading this text in hard-copy form, the tables are presented in order by
the type of error or failure. The contents of the tables is sorted alphabetically in
decending order.
1
Online Searching
You can use the search engine provided in the AnswerBook2™ environment or the
search engine in your browser to find a specific string of characters from an error
message. Before you construct the search string, keep in mind that this appendix
contains special typographical conventions. In addition, you may need to search all
of the tables individually. If you know the error type (that is, where the error was
encountered), use the hypertext links in “DR Error Messages on the Domain” on
page 2 or “IDN Error Messages on the Domain” on page 3 to start your search.
Special Typographical Conventions
The tables in this appendix contain special typographical conventions for the names
of words and values that change, depending on the type of error. When you search
for an error message, keep in mind that these names appear as generic
representations in italic font. The following list contains the commonly used
representations used in this appendix.
■ domain_ID for the value of the domain ID
■ domain_name for the names of all domains
■ domain_name_a, domain_name_b, domain_name_c for the names of the domains used
with the IDN commands
■ platform_name for the name of the Sun Enterprise™ 10000 platform
■ process_id for the value of the process ID (pid number)
■ system_board_number for the number of a system board (that is, 1 through 15)
■ number for numeric values
DR Error Messages on the Domain
This book contains a list of some of the error messages that you might see while you
are performing DR operations. The list does not include Protocol Independent
Module (PIM) layer errors, which are more generic than the error messages in this
book.
Use one of the following links to start your search.

IDN errno numbers. This table describes some of the message conventions that are
used in the message tables.
Tables B-2 through B-5 contain the common InterDomain Network errors,
notifications, and panics that can occur on the domain. These tables contain the text
of the error, description of the possible cause of the error, and suggested action. For
notifications, the list contains the text of the notice and a possible cause of the
message.

Domain DR Error Messages
All DR error messages are sent to the one or both of the following locations:
■ SSP applications
■ System error logs
DR Daemon Start-Up Errors
The following table contains a list of the DR daemon start-up errors. These messages
are sent only to the domain console window.
TABLE2-1DR Daemon Start-Up Error Messages
Error MessageProbable CauseSuggested Action
Cannot create server
handle
Cannot fork: descriptive
message
The DR daemon could not start up the
RPC server. You will see this message
only if you manually execute the DR
daemon without properly configuring
the network services on the domain.
Normally, network services spawn the
DR daemon in response to an
incoming RPC from the SSP.
The DR daemon could not fork a
process from which to run its RPC
server.
On the domain, fix the inetd.conf
entry for the DR daemon.
The descriptive error message
corresponds to an errno_value and
offers clues as to why the DR daemon
could not fork off the RPC server.
Check the resource limits and the load
of the system to find a way to fix this
error.

Memory Allocation Error Messages
The following table contains the memory allocation error messages that are sent to
the system logs and to the SSP applications. Although the list contains several error
messages, each of them describe one of two possible errors: ENOMEM or EAGAIN. All
of the ENOMEM errors have the same suggested action, as do the EAGAIN errors.

While it queried the system
information, the DR daemon could not
allocate enough memory for a
structure in which to return the
requested information. The daemon
may have encountered a resource
limit. If the DR daemon cannot allocate
memory, then it cannot continue to
work. The errno_description usually
describes an ENOMEM or EAGAIN error.

First, check the size of the daemon by
using the ps(1) command. Normally,
the daemon uses about 300- to 400Kbytes of memory. If the daemon is
larger than the above memory sizes,
then it may have a memory leak. If it
does, you should report this problem.
An ENOMEM error means that the DR
daemon is in a state from which it
cannot recover. An EAGAIN error
means that the problem may have
been temporary. You can retry the
operation, which may succeed
eventually, or you may have to stop
and restart the daemon.
