DECdfs for OpenVMS Management Guide
Appendix A
Status Messages
This appendix lists and explains the messages issued by DECdfs for OpenVMS.
Messages of all severity levels are merged together in alphabetical
order. You can also view these messages using the Help Message utility.
For more information on using this utility, refer to the OpenVMS System Messages: Companion Guide for Help Message Users.
In this appendix, there are two common suggested user actions:
- Verify that the DECnet software is operational.
- Verify the DECdfs installation.
To verify that the DECnet software is operational, check the executor
state and then view the executor, line, and circuit counters. For
information on network troubleshooting, refer to the following manuals:
For DECnet Phase IV:
- DECnet for OpenVMS Network Management Utilities
For DECnet Phase V:
- DECnet-Plus Network Control Language Reference
- DECnet/OSI Network Control Language Reference
- DECnet/OSI Network Management
To verify the DECdfs installation, make sure that the system and
network parameters have been modified according to the suggestions in
this manual and the installation guide. Also, examine the DECdfs
command files to make sure they have been edited properly.
If you receive DECdns errors, consult with your DECdns
manager.
If you need to report a DECdfs software problem, see the
DECdfs for OpenVMS Installation Guide for information on reporting problems.
ACCESS, Failure accessing kernel device
Explanation: An error occurred during initialization
of the server process. This message has a severity level of Error.
User Action: One possible cause of this problem is
that the Communication Entity is not currently running. Verify that it
is running by using the DECdfs command SHOW COMMUNICATIONS from within
the DFS$CONTROL utility. Also verify the DECdfs installation (as
described in the installation guide). If the problem persists, report
it.
ACCPNTMAX_RANGE, The value given for the access point maximum is out of
range
Explanation: The specified value for the maximum
number of access points on the server is outside the valid range. This
message has a severity level of Error.
User Action: Repeat the operation, using an
appropriate value. To display the range of correct values, use the
DFS$CONTROL command SHOW SERVER/ACCESS_POINTS_MAXIMUM.
ACCPT_CONFLICT, Access point exists for different device or directory.
Explanation: An access point of the same name has
already been added on this node, but it is a different device or
directory. This message has a severity level of Error.
User Action: Choose a different access point name or
remove and re-add the access point. The DFS$CONTROL command SHOW
ACCESS_POINT /LOCAL displays the device and directory information for
the access point.
ACCPTNM, Quoted access point names are illegal.
Explanation: You cannot surround an access point name
with quotation marks. This message has a severity level of Error.
User Action: Enter the ADD ACCESS_POINT command again,
but do not use quotation marks. Access point names can consist of
alphanumeric characters and underscores. A name in a hierarchical
namespace can also contain period (.) characters. The dollar sign ($)
is reserved for use by Compaq.
ADDELE, Error formatting element
Explanation: An internal error occurred on the server.
This message has a severity level of Warning.
User Action: Verify that the server is properly
installed (as described in the installation guide). If the problem
persists, report it.
ADDFUNC, Error formatting function identifier in server
Explanation: An internal error occurred on the server.
This message has a severity level of Warning.
User Action: Verify that the server is properly
installed (as described in the installation guide). If the problem
persists, report it.
AGENTABRT, DFS/COM service agent aborted session
Explanation: The DECdfs server unexpectedly
terminated communication. This message has a severity level of Error.
User Action: Verify that DECnet and the DECdfs
server are operational. If they are, retry the operation. If the
problem persists, report it.
ALIAS_REMOVE, Cluster alias access point name removed from DNS server
and from DFS server on this node
Explanation: An access point name that was added (with
the DFS$CONTROL command ADD /CLUSTER_ALIAS) has been removed from the
Distributed Name Service and from the local DECdfs server access
point database on this node. This message has a severity level of
Information.
User Action: You should remove the access point from
the local server access point databases on any other cluster members
that had the access point name added (with the DFS$CONTROL command ADD
/CLUSTER_ALIAS) or you should disable incoming alias on this node. To
remove the access point from other cluster members, use the DFS$CONTROL
command SHOW ACCESS_POINT /LOCAL /FULL. Then use the DFS$CONTROL
command REMOVE ACCESS_POINT on each of the other nodes serving the
access point. Use the fully expanded access point name as displayed by
the SHOW command.
ALLOCFDB, Server unable to allocate file descriptor block
Explanation: An error occurred during the server's
initial access of a file. The server was unable to obtain the necessary
memory resources. This message has a severity level of Error.

have enough space to add a new access point. This message has a
severity level of Error.
User Action: Remove one or more access points, or
increase the table size by increasing the maximum permitted number of
access points. To increase the maximum number of access points, edit
the DFS$CONFIG.COM file. Change the value specified by the SET
SERVER/ACCESS_POINTS_MAXIMUM command, and then restart the server.

cache. The persona cache threshold will remain static until the server
is stopped and restarted. An additional message follows giving
information about the cause of the failure. This message has a severity
level of Error.
User Action: If the threshold value at the time of the
failure is acceptable for current and future usage, you may not have to
do anything. Most likely, you will find it necessary to correct the
cause of the problem and stop and restart the server process.
