written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the
BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1.
User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a Compaq support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
ALHOMERR, I/O error reading alternate home block on 'device-name'
Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility
Explanation: An I/O error occurred while attempting to
read the alternate home block on the volume being mounted. An
accompanying message provides additional information about the error.
This is a warning message; the mount is allowed to proceed.
User Action: To avoid future errors, repair the named
volume using the DCL command ANALYZE/DISK_STRUCTURE/REPAIR.
ALHOMINV, invalid alternate home block on 'device-name'
Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility
Explanation: The alternate home block on the volume
being mounted does not have a valid format. This is a warning message;
the mount is allowed to proceed.
User Action: To avoid future errors, repair the named
volume using the DCL command ANALYZE/DISK_STRUCTURE/REPAIR.
ALIASQUAL, saveset was created /NOALIAS, restore /ALIAS qualifier will
be ignored
Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility
Explanation: The backup restore operation could not be
performed as specified because the save set was created ignoring alias
entries. Therefore, there are no separate files in the save set to
restore in place of the alias directory entries. The restore operation
was performed by processing the alias file entries as directory entries
instead of as separate file entries.
User Action: Examine the save set used in the backup
restore operation to determine if it is the correct save set. If not,
restore the correct image and incremental save sets in the recommended
order. If the save set is the correct one, no additional action is
required.
ALLOCFAIL, file structure allocation failure for 'device-name'
Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility
Explanation: Insufficient contiguous space is
available on the specified volume to allocate the files necessary to
initialize the volume as a Files--11 structured volume. This error may
be caused by an excessive number of bad blocks.
User Action: Retry the operation, using another volume.
ALLOCMEM, error allocating virtual memory
Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility
Explanation: An error occurred during an attempt to
allocate dynamic virtual memory.
User Action: Take action based on the accompanying
message. It may be necessary to increase either the page file quota of
the account or, on VAX systems only, the SYSGEN parameter
VIRTUALPAGECNT.
ALLODIFF,
The ALLOCLASS parameter value for the processor on
SCSI bus
'device-name', ID 'slot-number', is different from the value on this
system. This condition creates multiple names for the same device,
which can lead to data corruption.
Facility: STACONFIG, Standalone Configure Process
Explanation: The value of the SYSGEN disk allocation
class parameter differs between the local node and the specified remote
node.
User Action: Set the ALLOCLASS parameter to the same
nonzero value on both nodes.
ALLOZERO,
This system and/or the processor on SCSI bus
'device-name', ID
'slot-number', has a zero ALLOCLASS value. This condition creates
multiple names for the same device, which can lead to data corruption.
Facility: STACONFIG, Standalone Configure Process
Explanation: The local node, remote node, or both
nodes have the SYSGEN disk allocation class parameter set to zero.
User Action: Set the ALLOCLASS parameter to the same
nonzero value on both nodes.
ALOHUGEPAGE, huge page memory allocation failure, status: 'status-code'
Facility: SYSBOOT, System Bootstrap Facility
Explanation: A memory allocation failure has occurred
for the reason specified by the status code.
User Action: Take action based on the message that
equates to the specified status code.
APTREFHIGH, inconsistent active page table reference count
Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck
Explanation: The OpenVMS software detected an
irrecoverable, inconsistent condition. After all physical memory is
written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the
BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1.
User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a Compaq support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
APTWRTERR, active page table swap write error
Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck
Explanation: The OpenVMS software detected an
irrecoverable, inconsistent condition. After all physical memory is
written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the
BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1.
User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a Compaq support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
AQBTIME, ACP queue is unstable
Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility
Explanation: The Mount utility tried to start the
ancillary control process (ACP) associated with the MOUNT command, but
the ACP did not respond within the expected time frame.
User Action: Determine why the ACP cannot be started.
For example, check whether it exists on the disk.
ARESTERR,
error restoring alias file entry 'dev:[directory]entry.alias',
the
primary file entry was 'dev:[prim_dir]primary.file'
Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility
Explanation: An error occurred when the Backup utility
tried to restore an alias file entry. The alias file entry was not
restored. Note that in most cases the alias file entry is eliminated
from the directory.
User Action: Examine the primary file, the directory,
and the alias entry directory to determine the cause of the error.
Then, based on the data in this error message and any secondary error
status, correct the problem and create the alias file entry using the
DCL command SET FILE/ENTER.
As a general practice, Compaq recommends that you execute the DCL
command ANALYZE/DISK after Backup restore operations of all save sets
have been completed and any subsequent error corrections have been
made, for example, using SET FILE/ENTER commands.
ASSIGNFAIL, could not assign 'device' as system disk.
Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility
Explanation: Standalone BACKUP could not assign a
channel to the disk from which it was booted.
User Action: Determine why the channel assign failed.
If possible, correct the problem and retry the backup operation.
Otherwise, contact a Compaq support representative.
ASYNCWRTER, asynchronous write memory failure
Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck
Explanation: The OpenVMS software detected an
irrecoverable, inconsistent condition. After all physical memory is
written to a system dump file, the system automatically reboots if the
BUGREBOOT system parameter is set to 1.
User Action: Use the BACKUP command with the /IGNORE=NOBACKUP qualifier to make a backup save set of the system dump file and the error log file active at the time of the error. Contact a Compaq support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
AUTOLOGIN, account is auto-login only
Facility: LOGIN, Login Procedure
Explanation: The automatic login feature permits users
to log in to the system without specifying a user name. An automatic
login account cannot be accessed by a normal interactive login or by an
explicit DECnet access control string. This message is written to the
system accounting and security audit records; the NOTVALID message
displays to the user.
User Action: None.
AUTOMEMCOPY, 'device-name' automatically added to the shadow set with a
copy operation
Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility
Explanation: The MOUNT qualifier /INCLUDE was
specified, allowing members that were previously part of the shadow set
to be automatically added to the set. The indicated device was
successfully added to the shadow set. A copy operation was initiated,
making this device a target for all blocks.
User Action: None.
AUTOMEMERGE, 'device-name' automatically added to the shadow set with a
merge operation
Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility
Explanation: The /INCLUDE qualifier was specified,
allowing members that were previously part of the shadow set to be
automatically added to the set. The named device was successfully added
to the shadow set with merge semantics. The device is identical to the
other members of the set except for possible incomplete write
operations, for which the shadowing software will check.
User Action: None.
AUTOMEMSUCC, 'device-name' automatically added to the shadow set
Facility: MOUNT, Mount Utility
Explanation: The /INCLUDE qualifier was specified,
allowing members that were previously part of the shadow set to be
automatically added to the set. The named device was successfully added
to the shadow set as a consistent member.
User Action: None.
