3516.0. "some more errorlog from DS900EF..." by BERFS4::NORD () Tue May 07 1996 18:41
Good morning, good evening and something between
(do you know this entry, ouh yaah, the one with the errorlog-entries
in the DECswitch 900 is back!)
Have some new one for you:
Berlin, hospital, GIGAswitch, some DM900 with DS900EF, stackables, a
lot of copper and fiber!
Sitting there with my laptop, and giving one of the DM900 an IP-address,
as I saw, that the DS900EF, connected to the slot 8 of this backplane
is running selftest, grumble grumble. Selftest didn't finish, but port
2 (AUI) is yellow, hmmm. (I've nothing configured to the backplane or
the DS900EF). Swap it out and swap it in: the same! Swap it out and
swap it in: the selftest-LED is blinking: non-fatal error! OK. DM900-
menue: 9 (redirect...) to slot 8: No line-card..., eeyy! It's just
running the selftest (nobody knows why, but...). After the module came
up, I was able to "redirect" to slot 8 and I did a "dump error log".
Below you will see the output:
The first entries are befor the selftest-non-fatal-error, the seconds
are from after the selftest-non-fatal-error. Amazing is, that the module
has installed the firmware-version 1.5.2 and, as you look at the second
entries, they are telling me, it has V2.1 installed. Should I be asto-
nished or is that normal?
Yes, I'll swap this module, no problem, but I need some informations
about the entries, 'cause this is the second DS900EF of 20 (are not
configured yet).
Many thanks,
with regards

| 3516.1 | Answers on your error log entries & other hints.... | NETCAD::BATTERSBY | Don't use time/words carelessly | Wed May 08 1996 14:18 | 46 |
| Wolfgang, I'll try to answer this note.
First off, don't grumble about the selftest. Treat the selftest
diagnostics as a tool for finding internal hardware problems before
the user environment finds them, not as a hinderance. :-)
Now, what the yellow port 2 state led is telling you is that there is
a non-fatal problem with one of the two internal modules within the
900EF box, namely the I/O module. The "Test ID's indicating failure of
this are in your "after" dump of the error log with a test id equal to
962, 964, and 963. These are internal diagnostic tests specifically
telling you that there is a hardware problem related to the ethernet
port #7. How you got more than 4 error log entries is beyond me as
there are only 4 error log table entries and after the 4th error log
entry is written to, the first one is over-written, and so on.
The earlier error log entries you captured with the "DEAD" Test ID, are
Operational Firmware reported errors. The error codes reported are 23C0.
These, as I recall are probably related to Packet Memory parity errors.
These probably are related to the ultimate failure of port 7. What may
have happened earlier is that whatever was intermittent, (or partially
failing), on port 7 may have corrupted packets being received and stored
in packet memory. BTW when individual ports fail on the switch products,
the module is allowed to come up into operational mode so that diagnosis
can be done to determine the failure via access through one of the other
working ports.
Now for the "Firmware Rev" descrepancy. The error log entries with the
"Test ID = DEAD" are error log entries from the operational firmware
and so the Firmware Rev = 1.5 field will be the major rev of the firmware
rev of 1.5.2. The error log entries with the "Test ID = XXX" (XXX being
some alphanumeric), are error log entris from the internal diagnostics.
The Firmware Rev = 2.1 field is the rev of the diagnostic dispatcher
code used to report the failure.
Notice too how the error log entries reported by the operational firmware
have a more detailed structure than the internal diagnostics have.
This was done to facilitate being able to more easily debug operational
firmware error log entries.
So to summarize, you have a DECswitch which apparently had some sort of
partial failure on port 7 that likely caused the packet memory parity
errors. Subsequently, something in the port 7 circuitry has failed
completely enough to now be reported by the internal diagnostics.
Replacing the module is the prudent thing to do.
I hope this information is helpful to you.
