PLIM_OC3 Messages
Error Message
%L1-PLIM_OC3-2-ERR_HW_RESTART
Physical layer interface module hardware restart
for error recovery failed: [chars]: [chars]
Explanation The PLIM driver failed in soft error recovery. When a soft error is detected with any
ASIC on the datapath, the Fault Manager will start the soft error recovery on the whole datapath. If
the PLIM soft error recovery failed, the PLIM hardware state may not be in the correct state, and the
traffic may be affected. %s - indicates the reason for the failure %s - is the decoded error reason
Recommended Action The Fault Manager will reset the linecard if the error recovery failed, search
through the event logs, if there is no any message indicating that the Fault Manager resets the
linecard, try to do a manually reset with CLI: 'hw-module location 0/x/cpu0 reload' 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_OC3-3-ERR_INIT
Physical layer interface module driver initialization
failed: ([chars]/[chars]).
Explanation The physical layer interface module (PLIM) driver on the linecard failed to initialize.
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 this
process, up to a fixed number of times when this error is encountered, to recover. Execute 'show
process e48_plim_oc3 location 0/x/cpu0' to verify that the process is up and running. If it is still
non-operational, try doing 'process restart e48_plim_oc3 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_OC3-3-ERR_TIMER
Unknown timer type detected, the timer is stopped.
Explanation The wrong timer type is detected while handling the timer event, the timer will be
stopped. The POS interface counter will not work if the timer is stopped, but the traffic will not be
affected.
Recommended Action Execute 'show int pos 0/x/0/x' while the traffic is running on the interface to
confirm if the counter is still working, if not, restart PLIM driver with CLI: 'process restart
e48_plim_oc3 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_OC3-4-ERR_DEBUG
Debug initialization failed with [chars].
Explanation Debug message initialization failed.
Recommended Action This error has no effect on any feature except that debug information cannot be
turned on by CLI 'debug plim location 0/x/CPU0'. Restarting the process with CLI: 'process restart
e48_plim_oc3 location 0/x/CPU0' may resolve the problem.
PMENGINE Messages

current value [unsigned long long int], threshold [unsigned long long int] in
current [chars] interval window
Explanation The specified PM TCA has been declared.
Recommended Action Recommended action is to repair the source of the alarm.
