Unit [dec] (ranges 0-14):

Indicates the Multibus jumper setting for the ciscoBus controller, or in the Cisco 7000, a slot number.

 
daughter controller [dec] (ranges 0-3):

Indicates the ciscoBus relative slot number (0 to 3, or in the Cisco 7000, 0 to 4) of the daughter card that failed the test.

 
failed [chars] test ([chars]= memd read, memd write):

If the failed test was memd read, the processor was able to write to shared ciscoBus buffer memory from the ciscoBus registers, but was unable to read back that memory through special commands to the daughter card.

If the failed test was memd write, writes to MEMD through the daughter card were not verified successfully with reads through the ciscoBus controller.

The daughter card under test responds successfully to some commands (otherwise the software would have received a DAUGHTER_NO_RSP message), but its MEMD tests failed. The daughter card must be able to write to some MEMD addresses; otherwise, it cannot respond to any commands.

Recommended Action First check that the daughter controller card is properly seated in its Multibus and ciscoBus connectors. Next, swap daughter cards and check whether the error follows the daughter card or the slot. If the message recurs, call your technical support representative for assistance.

Error Message

 
%CBUS-3-DAUGHTER_NO_RSP: Unit [dec], daughter [dec],
not responding [hex] - disabled

Explanation A hardware component failed an internal diagnostic test. Test output and descriptions of ranges follow.

Unit [dec] (ranges 0-14):
Indicates the Multibus jumper setting for the ciscoBus controller.

daughter controller [dec] (ranges 0-3):
Indicates the ciscoBus relative slot number (0 to 3, or in the Cisco 7000, 0 to 4) of the daughter card that failed the test.

The daughter card's hardware was recognized across the ciscoBus backplane, but the daughter card did not respond to the first command issued to it.

This condition is a result of one of the following: the daughter card did not reset, or the microcode on the card is in a hung state, or the card cannot fully communicate across the ciscoBus backplane (cannot read or write shared MEMD or does not get the MALU_ATTENTION signal across the ciscoBus).

Recommended Action First, make sure that the daughter card is properly seated in its Multibus and ciscoBus connectors. If this action does not solve the problem, call your technical support representative.

CIP Error Messages

The system can report error conditions in several facility codes related to the Channel Interface Processor. As shown in the following example, the format of the error messages for the CIP differs slightly from the format of other system error messages:

 
%CIP3-6-MSG:%ADAPTER-6-DIAGBEGIN: [chars] diagnostic starting

All CIP-related error messages begin with a percent sign (%), the facility code CIP, and a number that indicates the slot where the CIP is installed. The next meaningful information is the facility subcode, severity level, and mnemonic. This part of the error message is preceded by another percent sign, such as %ADAPTER-6-DIAGBEGIN in the above example.

For simplicity, CIP error messages are organized into sections alphabetically by facility subcode. Within each CIP section, messages appear alphabetically by mnemonic. CIP and slot number are not shown in the error message listing.
