PLIM_CLKSEL Messages
Error Message     
%L1-PLIM_CLKSEL-3-ERR_INIT PLIM process is restarted because of a failure in Clock Selection Library initialization: ([chars]/[chars]).
Explanation The initilaization of the Clock Selection Library failed. The Clock Selection Library is used by the physical layer interface module (PLIM) driver on the linecard. The PLIM driver creates the SONET controller and POS interface, handling the all the SONET event, applying SONET/POS configuration to the layer-1 device hardware. If the PLIM driver fails to initialize, no traffic will pass, therefore no higher level protocol will work. %s - indicates the reason for the failure %s - is the decoded error reason
Recommended Action The System Manager process (sysmgr) will automatically respawn the PLIM process, up to a fixed number of times when this error is encountered, to recover. Execute 'show process location 0/x/cpu0' to verify that the process is up and running, where process name = 'pl_e48_pos_4p_oc12' for OC12 linecard; 'pl_e48_pos_1p_oc48' for OC48 linecard; If it is still non-operational, try to do a manually process restart with CLI: 'process restart location 0/x/cpu0'. If the message recurs, copy the error message exactly as it appears on the console or in the system log, call your Cisco technical support representative and provide the representative with the gathered information.
Error Message     
%L1-PLIM_CLKSEL-4-ERR_DEBUG Debug initialization failed with [chars].
Explanation Debug message initialzation failed.
Recommended Action This error has no effect on any feature except that debug information cannot be turned on by CLI 'debug plim-clksel location 0/x/CPU0'. Restarting the process with the CLI below, process restart will not affect traffic. 'process restart location 0/x/CPU0' may resolve the problem.
