A.1 Categories for Error Messages

Error messages fall into the following categories:

A.1.1 Information Only:

For user information only. No action is required.

A.1.2 Warning:

If possible, the application will recover as described.

A.1.3 Error:

Remedial action from the operator is required to correct the problem.

A.1.4 API Error:

The Manager/Agent Services library detected an error caused by the application program. These are often due to programming errors in the application.

A.1.5 Internal Error:

An unexpected error occurred. It's possible the Console's runtime database may have become corrupted. If you suspect that is the cause of the error, try saving the runtime database to the MDB--use the File button's Save >> Management Database option-- and correct the invalid entry. After the correction is made, reinitialize the runtime database specifying the -i flag in the snm command.

It's also possible this internal error does not indicate an error in the Console's runtime database. It could be an internal error generated by another application or by the Manager/Services library. If an internal error persists, contact the appropriate Sun service entity and provide the error message, circumstances that caused the error, and any relevant files.

A.2 Alphabetical Listing of Error Messages

The actual error message text may be prefixed with "Error:" or the name of the application that is returning the error (e.g. "snm:"). The error messages in this section are generally listed in alphabetical order according to the text of the error message.

Abnormal termination

Internal Error: The SNMP trap daemon has encountered a fatal error and has terminated.

Agent error:<why>

Warning/Error: An agent returned an agent-specific error. Refer to the agent documentation for more information. (You can determine the agent from the request name, which is also returned. The default request name is in the format <agent>.<group>.<number>.)

Agent has over <number> groups

  Warning: An agent has too many groups or tables. Not all groups and tables
  will be displayed in the menus.

(alloc_buffer):error, no more space

Error: The Console could not write a message to the data or event log because it ran out of virtual memory. Either increase the amount of swap space on the system or decrease the number of applications running concurrently.

(API):request failed, <why>

  Error: A request failed for the reason given. The request will not be retried.

(API):request failed, <why>, retrying

Attempt(s) to Drop or Paste a request unknown to an element

Error: The target element is not associated with an agent of the type specified in the request being dropped or pasted.

Attempt(s) to Drop or Paste into a request

Error: An attempt was made to put elements into the subview of a request. Requests have no subviews.

Attempt(s) to Drop or Paste to an element accepting no
requests

Error: The target element has no associated agents and therefore accepts no requests.

Attempt(s) to inappropriately Drop or Paste into Home
  Error: An attempt was made to put a request into the Home view.

Attribute not supported, not using SNMP for auto-
management.

Warning: An SNMP autorequest resulted in an "attribute not supported" error.

Attribute type does not match: group '(<group>)' attribute
'(<attr>)': schema type '(<type1>)', returned type '(<type2>)'
  Error: The agent and schema disagree on the attribute's data type.

Attribute unavailable for set operation: variable #n
  Error: The set request was not performed because the nth attribute to be set
  was not available for set operations. This variable cannot be set.

Attribute <agent>/<group>/<attribute> is not writable

Remote procedure call failed: <message>

Error: A remote procedure call error was detected. The error <message> indicates the reason.

Remote procedure call failed: Can't send request:RPC:
Timed out

Error: The request failed because the remote procedure call timed out before a request confirmation was received by requesting processes. This error is generally caused by one of the following:

The network connection between the manager and agent cannot be established because of network congestion. The Console continues to re-send the request until the request succeeds or the user kills the request.

The host where the Console and/or the agent is installed is slow because of high CPU utilization, disk I/O, etc. The Console continues to re-send the request until the request succeeds or the user kills the request.

A new copy of the agent was installed on the system and inetd(8c) was not initialized. You should:

1. Kill any requests for the agent from the Console. You only need to kill requests for the agent on the system where the new version of the agent is installed.

2. Log into the system where the new version of the agent is installed.

3. Reinitialize inetd(8c) by sending kill -HUP to the inetd(8c) process.

4. Re-send the request.

Report is too big: 52438 byte maximum for event reports.
        Error: The maximum event report size that can be returned is 52438
        bytes. You cannot request event reports where the returned report size
        would exceed this limit (for example, where every row in a very large
        table is returned).
