Error Description: ADAPTER ERROR
This error indicates that the Ethernet controller is malfunctioning.
| Return Code | The error return code as defined in the /usr/include/sys/errno.h file. |
| Status Code | For internal use only. |
| Program Check Code | For internal use only. |
Error Description: CONFIGURATION OR CUSTOMIZATION ERROR
This error indicates that the Ethernet device could not be activated because it could not obtain the necessary resources. The resources include DMA channels, interrupt level, bus memory space, and system memory space.
| Return Code | The error return code as defined in the /usr/include/sys/errno.h file. |
| Status Code | For internal use only. |
Error Description: SOFTWARE DEVICE DRIVER
This error indicates that the Ethernet device experienced a Micro Channel error during normal operation. It is likely that data has been lost.
| Return Code | For internal use only. |
| Status Code | For internal use only. |
| Program Check Code | For internal use only. |
This error indicates that the Ethernet driver is experiencing a shortage of system-wide mbuffers (clusters).
The Ethernet driver recieved an invalid packet size.
The Ethernet driver failed to free memory.
The Ethernet driver failed an action command.
| Return Code | |
| 816 | mbuffer/cluster shortage. Verify the mbuffer watermarks using the no command. A possible fix is to bump up the following watermarks until errors are no longer being reported (the tradeoff is pinned memory usage): |
| 683 | An invalid package size was received. |
| 1407, 162 | Memory could not be freed up. |
| 1829 | An action command failed. |
| Status Code | The system control block command or status word. |
| Program Check Code | The return code. |
For information concerning tuning system mbuffers, refer to the AIX Versions 3.2 and 4 Performance Tuning Guide, order number SC23-2365.
