OpenVMS System Messages: Companion Guide for Help
Message Users
EMPTYFILE, zero-length page or swap file cannot be installed
Facility: SYSGEN, System Generation Utility
Explanation: An attempt was made to install a
zero-length page or swapping file; these cannot be installed.
User Action: None.
EOFMISMATCH, end-of-file position mismatch for 'file-spec'
Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility
Explanation: During a compare or verify operation, the
end-of-file pointer for the specified file did not agree with the input
file. If other file activity is occurring on the volume, the error may
be caused because another user modified the file during the backup
operation.
User Action: None; however, note that the copies are
inconsistent.
EQV_NOTICE, equivalent name - device 'controller-name' will be output
as 'controller-name'
Facility: SYSGEN, System Generation Utility
Explanation: An equivalent name for a controller is
entered with the SYSGEN command CONFIGURE.
User Action: None.
ERASEBLKS, blocks reclaimed on relative volume 'n' not completely erased
Facility: RBLD, REBUILD Command (Mount Utility)
Explanation: The REBUILD command encountered an error
while attempting to erase reclaimed blocks.
User Action: Check for disk or cartridge problems, and
take appropriate action.
ERRCACHFUL, error cache is full
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 Digital support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
ERRHALT, halt with error interrupt pending
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 Digital support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
Error reporting suppressed, memory dump continuing
Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck
Explanation: Too many errors occurred while writing a
dump to the disk; it is no longer appropriate to continue to send
messages for each error, and error reporting is suppressed. The system
continues to attempt to write the dump.
User Action: When the system reboots, copy the dump to
another file. Determine the text associated with the hexadecimal status
of previous messages by using the /STATUS qualifier with the DCL
command HELP/MESSAGE or by using the F$MESSAGE lexical function or an
equivalent. If the status indicates a possible disk problem, see the
user action for the accompanying message.
Error writing 'nn' block(s), starting at vbn 'vv' - status = 'ss'
Facility: BUGCHECK, System Bugcheck
Explanation: An error occurred while writing a dump to
the disk. The status is the error returned by the $QIO system service
which attempted the write operation. The system continues to attempt to
write the dump.
User Action: When the OpenVMS operating system
reboots, copy the dump to another file. Determine the text associated
with the hexadecimal status by using the /STATUS qualifier with the DCL
command HELP/MESSAGE or by using the F$MESSAGE lexical function or an
equivalent. If the status indicates a possible disk problem, see the
user action for the accompanying message.
ERROR_HALT, failed to load MSCP server
Facility: STACONFIG, Standalone Configure Process
Explanation: The call to load the MSCP server from
STACONFIG_MSCP failed. Most likely there is not enough nonpaged memory
available to allocate the server data structures and local buffer area.
User Action: Check the values in the SYSGEN parameter
NPAGDYN to ensure that the amount of nonpaged memory allocated to the
system is reasonable. Also check MSCP_BUFFER to make sure that the
value is not too large compared to the value in NPAGDYN.
ERRORS, too many file header errors; rebuild aborted
Facility: RBLD, REBUILD Command (Mount Utility)
Explanation: More than ten errors were encountered
while reading the file headers. The rebuild was aborted.
User Action: Check the hardware and retry the program.
Contact a Digital support representative if the failures continue.
EVADE, breakin evasion in effect
Facility: LOGIN, Login Procedure
Explanation: Access to an account is denied because
break-in evasion is in effect for that account. This message is written
to the system accounting and security audit records; the NOTVALID
message displays to the user.
User Action: None.
EXHFUL, file extension header has no room
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 Digital support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
EXLABELERR, volume label processing failed because 'reason'
Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility
Explanation: The BACKUP command specified /EXACT_ORDER
for label processing and one of the following problems was detected in
the label comparison of the mounted tape volume:
- The volume label of the mounted tape has already been used in the
backup operation.
- The volume label of the mounted tape is not the expected label,
according to the order of volumes listed in the /LABEL qualifier.
User Action: Take action based on the accompanying
message. Depending upon the reason for the failure, you can take one of
the following actions:
- Quit the operation.
- Put a new volume in the drive and continue processing.
- Overwrite the volume label and continue processing.
- Use the tape that you have mounted.
If the mounted volume has a label that was used previously in the
backup operation, your only options are to quit the operation or load a
new tape to avoid losing data.
EXLICENSE, licensed number of system users exceeded
Facility: LOGIN, Login Procedure
Explanation: The maximum number of interactive users
for which your system is licensed have already logged in. Further
logins are currently disabled.
User Action: Log in after another user has logged off.
If the maximum number of users is exceeded frequently, ask your system
manager whether the system's license can be upgraded.
EXPANDPHD, expand process header 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 Digital support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
EXQUOTA, maximum number of users exceeded - try again later
Facility: LOGIN, Login Procedure
Explanation: The installation-defined maximum number
of users has been reached.
User Action: Wait and try to log in later, after other
users have logged off.
EXTCACHIV, contents of extent cache is garbage
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 Digital support representative and describe the conditions leading to the error.
EXTENDED, 'file-spec' extended
Facility: SYSGEN, System Generation Utility
Explanation: This message is the result of the SYSGEN
command CREATE and indicates that the specified file has been extended.
User Action: None.
EXTINDEXF, INDEXF.SYS on device 'device-name' has been extended to
accommodate restored files
Facility: BACKUP, Backup Utility
Explanation: The INDEXF.SYS file on the target device
is not large enough to accommodate all the files in the save set
without being extended. The backup operation has increased the size of
INDEXF.SYS on the target device so that it does not require an
extension header.
User Action: None.
