Appendix A

Error Messages

This appendix lists the error messages that are generated by the Foundation Services and provides a brief summary of the possible cause of each error. The error messages are grouped by those produced during installation, those produced during runtime, and those produced when using the command-line interface. Each list appears in alphabetical order of error message.

For information about the error messages that are produced by the Foundation Services, see the following sections:

Introduction to Error Messages

All of the Foundation Services log error and information messages to the system log files. These messages can be processed by client programs or by the Node Management Agent. For information about how to configure system log files, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Cluster Administration Guide.

This appendix lists some of the error messages that are produced by the error scenarios described in this book. This appendix does not contain an exhaustive list of error messages produced by the Foundation Services.

All error messages have the following format:

<date><nodeid><PID><stack><failed service or daemon><message>

The following output shows some sample error messages:

1:Nov  8 10:05:20 b14-netra-4 CMM[547]: [ID 191875 local0.error]

Error Messages Written During Installation

Error Messages Written During Manual Installation

[nhcmm] /etc/opt/SUNWcgha/not_configured present => no action taken

The installation or configuration process has failed.

[nhwdt] /etc/opt/SUNWcgha/not_configured present => no action taken

The installation or configuration process has failed.

Error Messages Written During Installation Using the nhinstall Tool

The nhinstall tool is a script that runs a series of commands. If the nhinstall tool encounters an error during the installation, it issues a message to the console and stops. The error message indicates which command has failed. If the failing command is a Solaris command, the nhinstall tool indicates which Solaris command has failed. The nhinstall tool does not produce its own error messages.

When the nhinstall tool encounters an error, it does not continue to search for other errors. You must fix the error, then relaunch the nhinstall tool from the point at which it failed. If the nhinstall tool encounters another error, it stops again.

Error Messages Written During Runtime

Error Messages Written by the Cluster Membership Manager

[%s] port undefined in /etc/services

Confirm that the nhfs.conf and cluster_nodes_table files are correctly configured. See the man pages in the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Reference Manual.

[%s/%s] port undefined in /etc/services

Confirm that the nhfs.conf and cluster_nodes_table files are correctly configured. See the man pages in the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Reference Manual.

Another CMM is running => exit

A second instance of the nhcmmd daemon attempted to start on the node.

[Config] %s does not exist, could not recreate %s

A cluster configuration file or its backup is missing. The file cannot be created. Confirm that the directory in which the file should exist has the correct access permissions.

[Config] Could not initialize Cluster nodes table (local)

Confirm that the cluster_nodes_table file is correctly configured. See the cluster_nodes_table(4) man page.

[Config] Could not initialize Cluster nodes table (NFS)

Confirm that the cluster_nodes_table file is correctly configured. See the cluster_nodes_table(4) man page.

[Config] Could not initialize minimal config

Confirm that the target.conf file is correctly configured. See the target.conf(4) man page.

[Config] Could not load backup configuration file

A cluster configuration file or its backup is missing. The file cannot be created. Confirm that the directory in which the file should exist has the correct access permissions.

[Config] Could not read Cluster nodes table

Investigate whether the cluster_nodes_table file is missing or inaccessible.

[Config] Could not read minimal configuration file

Investigate whether the target.conf file is missing or inaccessible.

[Config] Invalid domain id in file %s

Confirm that the nhfs.conf and cluster_nodes_table files are correctly configured. See the man pages in the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Reference Manual.

[Config] Invalid node id in file %s

Confirm that the nhfs.conf and cluster_nodes_table files are correctly configured. See the man pages in the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Reference Manual.

[Config] Invalid node name in file %s

Confirm that the cluster_nodes_table files is correctly configured. See the cluster_nodes_table(4) man page.

[Config] Minimal configuration files %s and %s cannot be accessed

Investigate whether the target.conf file is missing or inaccessible.

[Candidates] No master-eligible node

See Chapter 4, Recovering From Startup Problems on Master-Eligible Nodes.

[Config] Nodes number exceed cluster capacities

For information about the supported cluster configuration, see the Netra High Availability Suite Foundation Services 2.1 6/03 Hardware Guide

CURRENT NODE HAS LEFT CLUSTER

The current node does not belong to the master node domain. Confirm that the following are true:

  • The node domainid is correct in the nhfs.conf file and the cluster_nodes_table file.

  • The node name is correct in the cluster_nodes_table file.

  • The node domainid is the same in the nhfs.conf file and the cluster_nodes_table file.

  • The master node domainid is correct.

[Election] Unable to extract the best choice

No node is eligible to become the master node. Verify that the vice-master node is qualified, and that it is synchronized with the master node. See The Vice-Master Node Remains Unsynchronized After Startup.

[Membership] Could not access Cluster nodes table

Investigate whether the cluster_nodes_table file is missing or inaccessible.

[PROBE] a probe is already executed

Confirm whether the following are true:

  • The node is present in the cluster_nodes_table file.

  • The node name is unique in the cluster_nodes_table file.

  • The nodeid is unique in the cluster_nodes_table file.
