that the niget subroutine has not yet received a response from the site
indicated, reading the inode from the global file system (gfs) listed,
for the process identifier (pid) displayed.
Action: No action is needed.
900-392 Panic: itst_grant: granting token, token not idle
Cause: An attempt was made to obtain a token (that was believed to
be idle) but was found to already be in use.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
900-606 Panic: can't add any paging device
Cause: The device specified as a paging device could not be
initialized as a paging device (or it did not exist).
Action: Check major and minor devices that are specified in the
master file (or the values that were supplied when installing the kernel).
900-608 getgfs: Could not read pipe device's super block
Cause: The operating system could not read the super block of the
file system used for the pipe device. There may be an error in the
operating system configuration. The system continues to operate but
without the pipe file system.
Action: Install the previous version of the operating system and
try to run it again. Verify the definition of the pipe file system.
Ensure that the specified major and minor numbers are correct for
the pipe file system that you have specified in the /etc/system file.
Major numbers are specified in the master file, while minor numbers can
be found by running the config command with the -t option. This
configures the subdirectory of the system compilation directory.
Before trying the new operating system, check the master and system
files and correct any errors in them. See the sections on operating
system configuration in the Managing the AIX Operating System, the
config entry in the AIX Operating System Command Reference, and the
master entry in the AIX Operating System Technical Reference for
information on the location and format of these files.
If the problem persists, save the coredump, kernel load module,
console logs, the /etc/master and /etc/system files, and any other
pertinent information about what was happening before the error occurred
and then follow your local procedures for reporting software problems.
900-610 Panic: Pipe does not contain a valid file system
getgfs: magic #, dev #
Cause: The super block of the file system that is used for pipes
has an invalid magic number. The first message indicates the magic
number that was found in the super block and, also, the major/minor
device number of the disk on which the file system resides. This
message may indicate an error in the system configuration. When this
error occurs, the system stops running, terminates the subsystem and
does not write a system coredump (since the partition map (which
indicates both pipedev and dumpdev) may be corrupt).
Action: Install the previous version of the operating system and
try to run it again. Verify the definition of the pipe file system.
Ensure that the specified major and minor numbers are correct for
the pipe file system that you have specified in the /etc/system file.
Major numbers are specified in the master file; minor numbers can be
found by running the config command with the -t flag (in the
configuration subdirectory of the system compilation directory). Using
the ls -l /dev command, compare the major and minor numbers with those
in the master and system files.
Before trying the new system again, check the master and system
files and correct any errors. See the sections on system configuration
in the Managing the AIX Operating System, config in the AIX Operating
System Command Reference, and master in the AIX Operating System
Technical Referencefor information on the location and format of these
files. If the problem persists, save the coredump, kernel load module,
console logs, the /etc/master and /etc/system files, and any other
pertinent information about what was happening before the error occurred
and follow your local procedure for reporting software problems.
900-611 Panic: getgfs: pipe gfs out of range
Cause: The global file system (gfs) number which the system found
in the super block of the file system (that is used for pipes) is out of
range. There may be an error in the system configuration. The system
will stop running and will not write a system coredump, since the
partition map (which indicates both pipedev and dumpdev) may be corrupt.
Action: Install the previous version of the operating system and
try to run it again. Verify the definition of the pipe file system.
Ensure that the specified major and minor numbers are correct for
the pipe file system (that you have specified in the system file). Major
numbers are specified in the master file; minor numbers can be found by
running the config command with the -t flag (in the configuration
subdirectory of the system compilation directory). Before trying the new
system again, check the master and system files and correct any errors.
See the sections on the operating system configuration in the Managing
the AIX Operating System, config in the AIX Operating System Command
Reference, and master in the AIX Operating System Technical Reference
for information on the location and format of these files. If the
problem persists, save the coredump, kernel load module, console logs,
the /etc/master and /etc/system files, and any other pertinent
information about what was happening before the error occurred and
follow your local procedures for reporting software problems.
900-615 Panic: mountit: could not read super block of root
Cause: The system received an I/O error while trying to read the
super block of the replicated root file system. There may be an error
in the system configuration. The system cannot continue running so it
terminates and writes system core dump to the /dev/dump file (if dumping
is enabled).
Action: Install the previous version of the operating system and
try to run it again. Verify the definition of the replicated root file
system.
Ensure that the specified major and minor numbers are correct for
the replicated root file system that you have specified in the system
file. Major numbers are specified in the master file, while minor
numbers can be found by running the config command with the -t flag (in
the configuration subdirectory of the system compilation directory).
If the problem persists, save the coredump, kernel load module,
console logs, the /etc/master and /etc/system files, and any other
pertinent information about what was happening before the error occurred
and follow your local procedures for reporting software problems.
900-616 Panic: mountit: root file system is not a valid file system
Cause: The super block of the replicated root file system has an
invalid magic number. There may be an error in the system
configuration. The system stops running, terminates, and does not dump
core because there are no file systems available.
Action: Install the previous version of the operating system and
try to run it again. Verify the definition of the root file system.
Ensure that the specified major and minor numbers are correct for
the root file system that you have specified in the system file. Major
numbers are specified in the master file; minor numbers can be found by
running the config command with the -t flag (in the configuration
subdirectory of the system compilation directory). If the problem
persists, save the coredump, kernel load module, console logs, the
/etc/master and /etc/system files, and any other pertinent information
about what was happening before the error occurred and follow your local
procedures for reporting software problems.
900-617 Panic: mountit: root gfs out of range
Cause: The global file system (gfs) number (that the system found
in the super block of the replicated root file system) is out of range.
There may be an error in the system configuration. The system cannot
continue running so it terminates and writes system core dump to the
dump device (if dumping is enabled).
Action: Install the previous version of the Operation System and
try to run it again. Verify the definition of the root file system.
Ensure that the specified major and minor numbers are correct for
the root file system that you have specified in the system file. Major
numbers are specified in the master file; minor numbers can be found by
running the config command with the -t flag (in the configuration
subdirectory of the system compilation directory).
If the problem persists, save the coredump, kernel load module,
console logs, the /etc/master and /etc/system files, and any other
pertinent information about what was happening before the error occurred
and follow your local procedures for reporting software problems.
900-680 Panic: kmemalloc: "MA_SEG" not supported
Cause: The kmemalloc subroutine was used by a user-supplied device
driver with the segment alignment option. This option is currently not
supported.
Action: Do not use the segment alignment option with the kmemalloc
subroutine.
900-689 Panic: malloc botch
MALLOC assertion failed: string on line # of file filename
Cause: The memory allocation support (malloc and free subroutines)
have a corrupted allocation arena. If a user-supplied device driver is
part of the system, it is probably not correctly allocating, freeing, or
manipulating dynamically allocated memory.
Action: Review the driver for programming errors. Try the system
without the driver installed.
900-720 hdinitpart: minis #, minie #
Cause: This message is for your information only. It is one of a
series of informational messages provided when overlapping minidisks are
detected.
Action: No action is needed.
900-721 hdinitpart: partn #, mbrs #
Cause: This message is for your information only. It is one of a
series of informational messages provided when overlapping minidisks are
detected.
Action: No action is needed.
900-723 hdinitpart: Missing bad block minidisk on drive #
Cause: This message indicates that the Virtual Table of Contents
(VTOC) indicates there are one or more bad blocks, but no bad block
minidisk can be found on the drive.
Action: Correct the VTOC problems with the minidisk command.
900-726 badblkinit: List allocation error for drive #
Cause: The attempt to allocate a bad block list for the indicated
minidisk failed.
Action: Increase the available memory, or follow your local
procedures for reporting software problems.
900-727 badblkinit: I/O buf allocation error for drive #
Cause: The attempt to allocate an I/O buffer for the bad block list
(for the indicated minidisk) failed.
Action: Increase the available memory, or follow your local
procedures for reporting software problems.
900-728 badblkinit: Read error, dev=#, error=#
Cause: The indicated error occurred trying to read the bad block
information from the indicated device.
Action: Follow your local procedures for reporting software or
hardware problems.
900-729 badblkinit: Bad magic
Cause: The Virtual Table of Contents (VTOC) information contained a
bad magic number and was presumed to be invalid.
Action: Correct the VTOC information with the minidisks program.
900-844 svrfpr: tr_alrmleft #
Cause: A serious internal error occurred in the alarm device
support that is associated with a remote process.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software or hardware problems.
900-845 Panic: svrfpr: u.u_error=0 when aborting
Cause: The target site of a remote fork system call or a migrate
operation aborted in the middle of receiving the process image, but did
not have any indication as to what caused the operation to be aborted.
Action: Record all information, and follow your local procedures
for reporting software problems.
900-847 getofile: Got all there is, but not enough!
Cause: An internal inconsistency occurred while trying to perform
network processing (remote exec, fork, run, or migrate system calls)
involving a process that has many open files. This error is not, in and
of itself, fatal but may be the cause of other observed problems.
Action: Note all available information. If the problem is
consistently reproduced, follow your local procedures for reporting
software problems.
900-888 Panic: queue_netmsg: "fsite" negative
Cause: A routine is attempting to send a message to an invalid
destination.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
900-891 Panic: queue_netmsg2: "fsite" negative
Cause: A routine is attempting to send a message to an invalid
destination.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
900-923 Bad header checksum (site #?)
Cause: This message indicates that a Transparent Computing Facility
(TCF) packet was dropped because the computed checksum of the TCF
message header did not match the checksum included in the header.
Action: If this message occurs only infrequently, it is not of
major significance and can be ignored. If it occurs more often, then
the checksumming configuration should be verified on all sites in the
TCF cluster. If the checksumming configuration is correct, the network
most likely has a hardware problem which should be reported.
900-924 net_received: Wrong lsite #
Cause: The site received a Transparent Computing Facility (TCF)
message destined for another TCF site, but which was not forwarded to
the other site by the underlying Internet Protocol (IP) protocol layer.
This is most likely due to a mismatch on some node between its mapping
of internet address and hardware address, or the wrong association of
TCF site and internet address.
Action: Infrequent occurrences of this message are for your
information only. If this message appears frequently, then the network
mappings should be investigated, and you should follow your local
procedures for reporting hardware and software problems.
900-932
900-941 Bad checksum from site #
Cause: This message indicates that a Transparent Computing Facility
(TCF) packet was dropped because the computed checksum of the TCF
message did not match the checksum included in the header.
Action: If this message occurs infrequently, it is not of major
importance and can be ignored. If it occurs more often, then the
checksumming configuration should be verified on all sites in the TCF
cluster. If the checksumming configuration is correct, the network most
likely has a hardware problem which should be reported.
900-956 Panic: network.c: attempted to use an unconfigured network device
Cause: The system was unable to proceed because it attempted to
send Transparent Computing Facility (TCF) traffic through a network
interface device that did not exist.
Action: Verify that the network device is configured into the
system kernel, and that the device is attached and available. If these
are both true, then follow your local procedures for reporting software
or hardware problems.
900-957 procchar char received from local site
Cause: This message indicates that this site is having its
Transparent Computing Facility (TCF) traffic disabled by another site in
order to resolve an inconsistency caused by this site.
Action: Correct the inconsistencies and then use the clusterstart
command.
900-958 procchar message message
Cause: This message is part of a multiple line message that
indicates that the site received a special control message telling it to
disable Transparent Computing Facility (TCF) activities, due to some
problem or inconsistency.
Action: Correct the problem indicated in the procchar message.
901-020 page_fork: proc has too many data vsegs
Cause: A process has too many data virtual segments (vsegs) to
complete this remote execution.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
901-124 Panic: nmrelse: "netwants" not found
Cause: A network interface set a flag that requested a network
buffer which cannot be located.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
901-224 ptrksend: Too many PIDs and/or PGRPs with origin site siteno
Cause: The amount of network processing information on a single
site exceeds the maximum capacity of the process tracking table that was
sent in a single Transparent Computing Facility (TCF) message.
Consequently, TCF traffic is disabled.
Action: Follow your local procedures for reporting software or
hardware problems.
901-226 getpsp: "pid-site" table full
Cause: This message indicates that the capacity of the table of
process IDs and associated cluster site numbers has been exceeded.
Consequently, Transparent Computing Facility (TCF) traffic is disabled.
Action: Increase the size of the process identifier (pid)-site
table, or follow your local procedures for reporting software problems.
901-300 qwarnflp: "warncount" out of bounds
Cause: A remote request for a quota warning contained a warn count
which was out of bounds.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
901-400 SELECT: p_alrmp # !=NULL
Cause: In attempting to set an alarm, the kernel noticed that the
alarm is in use or was not cleared by a previous use.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
901-403 svrselscan: Couldn't find server
Cause: This message is for your information only. In attempting

901-463 Panic: bmap: can't find "indir" block for direct page
Cause: A request was made for an indirect block which is satisfied
from a direct block.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
901-490 checksvrs: LEAVING NET!
Cause: A condition has occurred in which there are no server
processes capable of responding to special messages in a reasonable
period of time, so this site is leaving the cluster to prevent topology
bottlenecks.
Action: Check that the number of server processes that is set by a
minimum number of server processes (MINSVRPROC) is sufficient for system
utilization and then unblock any stopped terminal.
901-540 newimage: xsite #: EBADST
Cause: The site which was specified for remote execution is not a
valid site number (that is, not in range 1..32).
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
901-560 Panic: exit: "init" died
Cause: The init process has stopped. The subsystem will terminate
and write system core dump to the /dev/dump file, (if dumping is enabled).
Action: Reboot and try again. If the problem reoccurs, run with
the previous version of the AIX Operating System kernel. Save the
coredump, kernel load module, console logs, and any other pertinent
information about what was happening before the error occurred and
follow your local procedures for reporting software problems.
901-565 Panic: proc_checks: out of system PIDs
Cause: While trying to generate a new process, the system could not
locate an unused Process Identification (PID) number.
Action: The cause may be a unique set of circumstances or an errant
program. One or more processes probably got into a state where they
continuously "forked off" (due to the fork system call) new processes.
If the problem persists, the system administrator should consider
shifting some of the load from this machine to another one on the cluster.
If the problem reoccurs, run with the previous version of the AIX
Operating System kernel. Save the coredump, kernel load module, console
logs, and any other pertinent information about what was happening
before the error occurred and follow your local procedures for reporting
software problems.

Cause: The list of free token control blocks does not contain the
calculated amount (the free list has been severed).
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
901-803 Panic: no independent site available
Cause: A site was separated from the cluster when it did not have a
local copy of the root file system mounted.
Action: Do not attempt to separate a site from the cluster when it
does not have a copy of the root file system mounted.
901-804 newcss: Fails interrupted by "toperror"
Cause: An unexpected condition occurred, such as another site
requesting to join the partition after this topology change stabilized.
Action: Wait for the topology to settle, and then continue.
Technical Information: The recovery phase of topology change has
been interrupted due to a topology error; the process will be restarted.
901-811 Panic: sndnewtop: send nothing
Cause: The active site had no mounts to distribute during a
topology change.
Action: Record all information and follow your local procedures for
reporting software problems.
901-860 nextop: Only # "svrprocs"
Cause: This message is for your information only. The topology
process reports the existence of only # server processes (the system
will compensate).
Action: No action is needed.
901-871 recover: Lost local "fsys" gfs #
Cause: This message is for your information only. A locally
mounted file system was rejected by the active topology change site (its
unmount was requested).
Action: No action is needed.
901-872 recover: Release token # #
Cause: This message is for your information only. Tokens are
released after a topology change when a change of synchronization site
occurs on a Network File System (NFS).
Action: No action is needed.
901-980 errioctl: Enable physical media backup not working yet
Cause: This message indicates an ioctl system call option (that is
not supported on the 370) was attempted.
Action: Correct the application so that it does not perform this
ioctl operation.
906-001 arp: lan address is broadcast for IP address #!
Cause: An address resolution protocol (arp) packet with a source
hardware address of all ones (1) has been received. This is an illegal
hardware address.

resolution protocol (arp).
906-005 Duplicate IP address!! sent from lan address
Cause: The machine on which this message was received is using the
same Internet address as some other machine.
Action: One or more of the machines using the same address must be
removed from the net and not brought back until new and unique Internet
addresses have been assigned to each machine.
Technical Information: This message is produced by the Address
Resolution Protocol (ARP).
906-081 lo #: Can't handle "af" #
Cause: This message implies that some protocol family other than
Internet Protocol (IP) was introduced into the kernel without updating
the loopback device driver to handle it.
Action: This message should not be generated. If seen, it
indicates a serious code error. Record all relevant data and follow
your local procedures for reporting software problems.
Technical Information: This message comes from the loopback
pseudo-device driver and should not be generated.

Cause: This message indicates a minor internal consistency problem
in the DOS-Merge subsystem.
Action: Follow your local procedures for reporting software
problems and report any related behavior in DOS processes.
909-365 AUX: cmd buff full
Cause: A DOS-Merge process using the mouse did not run for a while
and the mouse was moved. Mouse "events" will be lost because the queue
used to record these events is full.
Action: This is not a serious problem, but the user should not
expect an arbitrary number of mouse button pushes to be "remembered" if
his DOS process is stopped.
909-366 AUX: cmd stacking
Cause: Mouse commands (button pushes) are being saved in a buffer
because the DOS process using the mouse is not being run.
Action: No action is needed. The events will be delivered when the
DOS process is allowed to continue executing.
909-441 setrealdma: Couldn't lock page
Cause: The system was unable to lock a page (which was to be the
target of a device dma (direct memory access) for a DOS process). The
dma will fail.
Action: This shouldn't happen unless the DOS application is
attempting an illegal dma operation. Follow your local procedures
for reporting software or hardware problems.
909-521 Panic: merge copy protection violation: registration failed
Cause: A user attempted to install DOS-Merge without following the
standard procedure.
Action: Consult the installation instructions provided with your
copy of the DOS-Merge package.
909-561 Panic: vm86start returned
Cause: A serious internal consistency problem occurred in the
DOS-Merge subsystem.
Action: Get a kernel coredump, if possible. Follow your local
procedures for reporting software or hardware problems.
910-298 ehd_err_log: Read: Write error on dev #/#, blkno=#
Cause: This message indicates a retryable write error (an error in
which the system must repeat a write to the disk). This error may be
caused by a failing fixed-disk drive. However, it may also occasionally
appear even though there is nothing wrong with the fixed-disk. This is
due to an unusual and harmless condition that causes data transfer (via
the microchannel bus) to be repeated.
Action: If this message appears occasionally, then repeating the
write operation has successfully written data to the disk. In this
case, this message is for your information only. However, if you see
this message frequently (more than once a day), you should check the
status of the fixed disk.
910-299 ehdr_err_log: Status #### #### #### #### #### #### ####
Cause: This message displays the status bytes generated by the
hardware.

910-305 ehddumpio: DMA channel # is busy
Cause: This message indicates that a Direct Memory Access (DMA)
channel could not be allocated when trying to do a kernel coredump.
Action: If this happens more than once, follow your local
procedures for reporting software or hardware problems.
910-307 ehdintr: Bad status, intrstat=#, ointrstat=#
Cause: This message indicates a problem with the fixed-disk drive
controller or a temporary (and harmless) error condition on the
microchannel bus. This message may appear often if the computer has
down-level microcode in the disk controller. If this is the case, the
following additional message will be displayed when you boot up the
system: "The hard file controller contains down level microcode".
This message may appear occasionally even if the disk controller
microcode is up to date.
Action: If this message appears occasionally, it is for your
information only. If this message appears frequently, follow your local
procedures for reporting software or hardware problems. You may need a
new set of disk controller microcode.
910-320 Panic: copy protection violation
Cause: The superuser attempted to illicitly run a copy protected PC
Interface (PCI) or Merge product.
Action: Consult your place of purchase to get a legitimate copy of
the package.
910-321 esntable overflow: Only # registrations possible
Cause: The system's limit on the maximum number of registrations of
DOS-Merge installations has been exceeded. The most likely cause is
that someone is trying to break the copy-protection feature of the
DOS-Merge package.
Action: This should not normally be possible. If this legitimately
happens, service may be able to provide a new module to build a kernel
with a larger limit.
910-360 bodygetxfile: Unknown "ldtype" #
Cause:All of the above relate to incorrectly constructed shared
libraries or object modules.
Action:Rebuild the object module or shared library so that it is in
the correct format.
910-362 getcoff: .lib section too big!
Cause: A load module was encountered that had a .lib section that
exceeded the maximum allowed size.
Action: Correct the load module problems, if you can. Otherwise,
follow your local procedures for reporting software problems.
910-401 fdpark: Motor(s) not killed, I/O still pending
Cause: The system tried to reboot while there was still an I/O
pending on one of the diskette drives. This should not happen in normal
operations. The system normally waits for an I/O to complete when doing
a clean reboot. However, certain other failures may cause the condition
which produces this message.
Action: If a floppy diskette was being written, it may be
corrupted. Otherwise, this message is for your information only.
910-402 fdstate: Timed out on diskette drive #
Cause: The diskette (or diskette controller) failed to complete an
expected state transition in a reasonable period of time. This
indicates a hardware problem.
Action: Note the error symptoms and run diskette diagnostics from
the reference diskette (if possible). Otherwise, follow your local
procedures for reporting hardware problems.
910-403 Panic: fdcalc: verify botch
Cause: Due to an internal software error, the kernel was unable to
find a sector on the floppy disk and verify its contents.
Action: Record all recent messages, get a coredump (if possible),
and follow your local procedures for reporting software or
hardware problems.
910-404 Panic: fdvercmp: zero "fdw_needsver"???
Cause: An Internal logic error was found in diskette driver.
Action: Record all recent messages, get a coredump (if possible),
and follow your local procedures for reporting software or
hardware problems.
910-406 fd_err_log: Write error on dev #/#, blkno=#
Cause: Either the diskette is bad, or the diskette is
write-protected (in the latter case, the message will so indicate).
Action: Defeat the write protection on the diskette or use another
diskette. Also, reformatting the bad diskette may make it usable.
910-423
910-424 fdstate: NULL bp
Cause: This message is for your information only. This message
indicates a recoverable internal error in the kernel.
Action: No action is needed.

message is reproducible, follow your local procedures for reporting
software problems.
910-443 attach_devpg: No "ptep/dbdp" for #
Cause: A recoverable internal error occurred in the DOS-Merge
subsystem.
Action: Note what DOS-Merge users were doing on the system. If the
message is reproducible, follow your local procedures for reporting
software problems.
910-602 invalid window page
Cause: This message may appear on the console of a PS/2 running DOS
Merge. AIX emulates DOS EMS support through the use of window pages,
which map low DOS addresses to high AIX addresses in virtual memory. In
response to the request of a DOS program, the AIX kernel has attempted
to locate a window page in high virtual memory. The DOS and AIX
addresses were found to be improperly mapped.
Action: Reboot the AIX machine. Report the error to IBM support
with full details on what was being run.
910-603 getpages couldn't find real page
Cause: This message may appear on the console of a PS/2 running DOS
Merge. AIX emulates DOS EMS support through the use of window pages,
which map low DOS addresses to high AIX addresses in virtual memory.
The AIX kernel calls a routine named getpages to perform the address
translation. In response to the request of a DOS program, the AIX
kernel has attempted to locate a window page in high virtual memory.
The getpages routine found that the EMS window in high memory did not
have an associated page in real memory.
Action: Reboot the AIX machine. Report the error to IBM support
with full details on what was being run.
910-720 Dump header #># bytes; can't dump, sorry
Cause: This message indicates a non-user fixable misconfiguration
of the kernel.

space, but cannot find any processes that are appropriate to stop.
Action: Increase the amount of swap space available to the system.
910-973
910-974 Process # killed: no swap space
Cause: A Process whose Process Identifier (PID) is identified was
terminated by the system because there was insufficient swap space for
it to run.
Action: Increase the amount of swap space available to the system.
910-975 swkill: Still need # pages
Cause: The system is attempting to terminate processes to obtain
space, and requires the indicated number of pages.
Action: Increase the amount of swap space available to the system.
910-979 Panic: vinifod: paging from small block file
Cause: An executable load module was run and was stored completely
in the inode. Running such a module is usually impossible because a
well-formed load module is too large to be stored in such a file.
Action: Recreate the load module (it is malformed).
911-000 Pginit: Number of boards found > NPEGS
Cause: More Ethernet boards were found in the machine than were
