| VECDIS,  vector disabled fault, code='xx', PC='location', PSL='xxxxxxx'
 +
| SYSTEM, System Services
 +
| The current process issued a vector instruction that requires an idle vector processor to become active. Under normal circumstances, this event is not reported to a system user. However, if the vector processor was originally disabled due to some error involving the current process, the VECDIS message is issued in association with one of the following messages:
 +
* BADCONTEXT - The vector state of the mainline routine is                  corrupt and cannot be restored.
 +
* CPUNOTACT - The VAX system contains no vector-present processor on which to schedule the current process.
 +
* EXQUOTA - The OpenVMS operating system cannot allocate sufficient space to save the vector state of the mainline routine because the process in which the routine is executing exceeded process paging file quota.
 +
* INSFMEM - Insufficient nonpaged dynamic memory exists to                  turn the current process into a vector consumer.
 +
* INSFWSL - The OpenVMS operating system cannot allocate sufficient space to save the vector state of the mainline routine because the working set limit of the process in which the routine is executing is too low.
 +
* MCHECK - The vector processor has been disabled due to the detection of a hardware error.
 +
* NOPRIV - An ACL on the vector capability denied a user mode program access to the vector processor.
 +
* VASFULL - The OpenVMS operating system cannot allocate sufficient space to save the vector state of the mainline routine because the address space (P0 space) of the process in which the routine is executing is full.

| VECALIGN,  vector alignment exception, reason mask='xx', virtual address='location', PC='location', PSL='xxxxxxx'
 +
| SYSTEM, System Services
 +
| The current process issued a VAX vector memory access instruction that attempted an operation on an improperly aligned vector element. The VAX architecture requires that vector operands to vector memory access instructions be naturally aligned in memory. Longwords must be aligned on longword boundaries; quadwords must be aligned on quadword boundaries.                This message indicates an exception condition and is followed by a register and stack dump to help locate the error. The reason mask is a longword whose lowest three bits, if set, indicate that the instruction caused a length violation (bit 0), referenced the process page table (bit 1), attempted a read/modify operation (bit 2), was a vector operation on an improperly aligned vector element (bit 3, always set), or was a vector instruction reference to an I/O space address (bit 4).
 +
| Examine the PC and virtual address displayed in the message. The virtual address is an address in the same page as that address to which the access was attempted. Check the program listing to verify that the vector operands to vector memory instructions are naturally aligned.

| SYSTEM, System Services
 +
| The image performed an arithmetic or conversion operation that resulted in an arithmetic trap. When an arithmetic exception condition is detected, several instructions can be in various stages of execution. These instructions are allowed to finish before the arithmetic trap can be initiated. Some of these instructions can themselves cause further arithmetic traps. Thus it is possible for several arithmetic traps to be reported simultaneously. The Imask parameter records all integer registers that were targets of the instructions that set the bits in the exception summary. Bit 0 corresponds to R0, bit 1 corresponds to R1, and so on. The Fmask parameter records all floating-point registers that

| On I64, an image attempted to use a register whose value is Not A Thing. Bit 2 of the reason mask indicates that a read operation was attempted, probably with a NaT address. A NaT value can be generated by a user program using an I64 feature called control speculation. However, compiler-generated code should never take a NaT fault.

An errror message is a message that is written to SYS$ERROR to provide information about successful execution of the previous command (if requested) or, usually, an error condition that has occurred. An example of an error message is: 

%TYPE-W-SEARCHFAIL, error searching for DKA0:[000000]NOTHHERE.LIS;
-RMS-E-FNF, file not found

Syntax

Error messages consist of the following parts:

  • FACILITY: the facility or command that has issued the error message. In the example above, facilities are TYPE and RMS.
  • SEVERITY: the severity code for the error message.
  • IDENTIFICATION: the abbreviation of the error message that can be passed as an argument to HELP/MESSAGE to find out more about this error.
  • TEXT: an explanation of the error: in the example above, the "file not found" and "error searching for DKA0:[000000]NOTHHERE.LIS" strings constitute the text part of the respective error messages.

Any or all of these parts can be obtained with the F$MESSAGE() lexical given the $STATUS of the error condition.

ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask='xx', virtual address='xxxxxxxx', PC='xxxxxxxx', PSL='xxxxxxxx' TPU, DEC Text Processing Utility (DECTPU) An internal DECTPU failure occurred. Contact VSI customer support
SYSTEM, System Services An image attempted to read from or write to a memory location that is protected from the current mode. This message indicates an exception condition and is followed by a register and stack dump to help locate the error. The reason mask is a longword whose lowest 5 bits, if set, indicate that the instruction caused a length violation (bit 0), referenced the process page table (bit 1), attempted a read/modify operation (bit 2), was a vector operation on an improperly aligned vector element (bit 3), or was a vector instruction reference to an I/O space address (bit 4). This message is also displayed when an attempt has been made to make the user stack larger than the user's virtual address space permits. For example, the automatic user stack expansion algorithm reports an access violation with the following two conditions (which should serve as hints that automatic expansion has failed):
  • The reason mask has the low-order bit set. This indicates a memory reference that is not described in any page table.
  • The relatively small P1 address space virtual address is referenced.
 Examine the PC and virtual address displayed in the message. The virtual address is often the address to which the access attempt was made. However, in the case of vector-related access violations and in some processor implementations, the reported virtual address may be some other address in the same page as that address to which the access was attempted. Check the program listing to verify that instruction operands or procedure call arguments are correct. If this message is displayed because of insufficient virtual memory for automatic user stack expansion, reduce the user stack requirements of the image or increase the virtual address space available to the process in which the image is executed.

BADPARAM, bad parameter detected DVR$ Facility (CDA Viewer) An invalid parameter was passed to a routine. Ensure that you call the routine properly. Some parameters must be passed by value, and some must be passed by reference. Check the documentation to ensure that you correctly pass the right number of parameters.
BADPARAM, unable to find load assist parameter VAXCLUSTER, OpenVMS Cluster Software Parameters defined in the MOP downline load database or the satellite's SYSGEN parameter file, VAXVMSSYS.PAR, were not set properly. Check the MOP database using the NCP command SHOW NODE 'node-name' CHAR and check the SYSGEN parameters for the satellite with the SYSGEN command SHOW/CLUSTER.
BADPARAM, parameter to DECthreads operation is invalid CMA, HP POSIX Threads Library for OpenVMS A parameter passed to a DECthreads routine is improper; for example, the value is of the wrong type or is out of range. Determine which routine raised the exception. Then consult the documentation to determine the correct parameters and value ranges. Update your code accordingly and retry the operation.
BADPARAM, insufficient shared memory to create specified data structures SYSGEN, System Generation Utility The sum of all the data structures specified is more than the available amount of shared memory. Recalculate memory usage and reenter the command.
BADPARAM, bad parameter value SYSTEM, System Services A value specified for a system function is not valid. Several conditions can cause this error:
  • If this message occurs as a result of a call to a file system ACP function, it indicates that parameter list options are not valid.
  • If this message occurs as a result of a call to the Formatted ASCII Output ($FAO) system service, it indicates that a control string contained an unknown directive.
  • If this message occurs as a result of a call to a network ACP control function, it indicates that one of the function parameters is out of range or has an invalid format.
  • If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR32 interface, an attempt is made to set the data rate higher than the rate allowed by the SYSGEN parameter /XFMAXRATE.
  • If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a standard XADRIVER, an odd transfer count is specified by the P2 argument.
  • If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DMP11 interface, the rejected parameter code is given in the second longword of the IOSB. The parameter could be rejected because it is not recognized, the parameter value is not legal, or the state is inconsistent with the requested parameter value. If this message is associated with turning on fallback, fallback may not be loaded or the virtual terminal may be disconnected. Reconnect the virtual terminal and enter the request again. If the FB driver is not loaded, ask your system manager to enable fallback. This message can be generated by the device driver interface of the QIOserver when a bad parameter is passed to the QIOserver new unit routine under one of the following circumstances:
    • The driver does not support QIOserver (that is, the DPT$M_QSVR bit is clear).
    • Both the DEV$M_QSVD and DEV$M_QSVBL bits are set in the device characteristics or both are clear.
    • Either the DEV$M_CLU bit is clear or the DEV$M_NOCLU bit is set in the device characteristics.
  • This message can be generated by the device driver interface of the QIOserver when an incorrect parameter or argument is passed to the SYS$QIOSERVER system service. This could include an incorrect item code or an incorrect item descriptor such as an illegal size or a missing buffer address.
 Using the debugger, if necessary, determine the system service call that returned the error. Verify that the call to the service is coded correctly. Refer to the OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual Vol. I (A-GETUAI) and OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual Vol. II (GETUTC-Z) for coding specifications. In the case of a QIOserver device driver interface error, correct the error in the device driver or in the item list and retry the operation.
BADPARAM, bad parameter LBR, Librarian Routines An illegal value is passed to an LBR routine. Correct the illegal value.

EXQUOTA, registry file quota or page file quota exceeded REG, Registry for OpenVMS A request to create a key or value could not complete successfully because a Registry for OpenVMS database file exceeded its quota. Increase the quota for the file by modifying the Registry value HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\Registry\File Quotas\'file name'. For more information about using Registry for OpenVMS or the $REGISTRY system service, consult the "COM, Registry, and Events for OpenVMS Developer's Guide" or the "OpenVMS System Services Reference Manual".
EXQUOTA, process quota exceeded SYSTEM, System Services An image could not continue executing or a command could not execute because the process exceeded one of its resource quotas or limits. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR32 interface, a DR11-W interface, or an LPA11-K driver, the AST quota for the requesting process is exceeded. In the latter case, an AST cannot be queued for a buffer full/empty AST. Normally, a start data transfer request can require no more than three AST blocks at a time. If this message is associated with a vector disabled (VECDIS) status code, the process's paging file quota prohibits the allocation of sufficient process memory for storing its mainline vector state. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DUP11 interface, a request cannot be queued because the buffered I/O quota is exceeded. This message can indicate failure to create a subprocess because deductible quotas, when subtracted from the current quotas of the creator, would not leave the minimum required quotas for the creator. This message may also occur if the size of a buffered I/O request exceeds the value of the SYSGEN parameter MAXBUF. Use the DCL command SHOW PROCESS/QUOTAS to determine the current quotas and to determine which quota is exceeded. Determine whether any subprocesses are hibernating and are no longer performing useful functions; delete any such subprocesses. If a program fails consistently because of insufficient quotas, ask the system manager to increase your quotas.
EXQUOTA, maximum number of users exceeded - try again later LOGIN, Login Procedure The installation-defined maximum number of users has been reached. Wait and try to log in later, after other users have logged off.

NOPRIV, Insufficient privileges: (SET,STOP,START & TRACE commands require SYSPRV) SCACP, Systems Communications Architecture Control Program The process does not have sufficient privileges to execute the indicated commands. Ask the system administrator to grant the SYSPRV privilege to the process.
NOPRIV, No privilege for attempted operation GCMSRV, Graphical Configuration Manager Server You do not have the privileges required to perform the attempted operation. Contact your GCM server administrator to request the necessary privileges.
NOPRIV, No privilege for attempted operation GCMSRV, Graphical Configuration Manager Server You do not have the required privileges to start a GCM server. Contact your GCM server administrator to request the necessary privileges.
NOPRIV, user denied privilege to write to volume on 'device-name' MOUNT, Mount Utility The user requested initialization of a volume but does not have the privilege to write to it. Mount either a tape that the user has write privilege to, or a blank tape. Request initialization of this tape when replying to the next mount request.
NOPRIV, operation requires SYSPRV privilege CAF, Cluster Authorization File Service Access to the cluster authorization file requires SYSPRV privilege. Enter a SET PROFILE/PRIVILEGE=SYSPRV command, then reenter your original command.
NOPRIV, insufficient privileges for this operation. CMKRNL, SYSNAM, and SYSPRV are required LICENSE, License Management Utility An attempt was made to enter a LICENSE command for which you need CMKRNL, SYSNAM, and SYSPRV privileges. See your system manager.
NOPRIV, insufficient privilege to display complete information SHOW, SHOW Command You do not have sufficient privilege to see all the users of an Activity license. See your system manager. You must obtain GROUP privilege to see license users in the same group and WORLD privilege to see license users outside your group.
NOPRIV, insufficient privilege or queue protection violation JBC, Job Controller The queue protection denies access to the queue for the specified operation. None.
NOPRIV, insufficient privilege or object protection violation SYSTEM, System Services This message can occur under any of the following conditions:
  • A command or program requested a system function that requires a specific user privilege or privileges that the current process does not have.
  • A program image attempted to access, modify, or delete a control area created and owned by a more privileged access mode. Such areas include pages in memory, I/O channels, or timer queue entries.
  • A command or program requested file or volume access that is denied.
  • The requesting process does not have the privilege to read or write to this mailbox. (The protection mask is defined when the mailbox is created.)
  • The flags parameter to $SUSPND has requested suspension of kernel mode, but the caller is not running in executive or kernel mode.
 If the message is in response to a command entered interactively, verify that the particular command or qualifier does not require a specific user privilege or privileges. If the message occurs during the execution of a program, determine the system service call that resulted in the error. Verify that a service or an argument was not used for a particular service that requires a user privilege that you do not have. Or, verify that you are not attempting to modify an RMS file system or system-owned data area or memory page. If this message is associated with a vector disabled (VECDIS) status code, an ACL on the system's vector capability has prevented the process from executing vector instructions. In each case, correct the command or program so that you do not request the privileged function. If you determine that you need the privilege for an application, ask your system manager to give you the necessary privilege. Verify the file or volume name. Have the owner of the file or volume change the protection value.
NOPRIV, insufficient privileges for the requested operation ACME, ACME SYS$ACM[W] Codes The calling process does not possess the necessary privileges to issue the requested SYS$ACM[W] service or perform the requested SET SERVER ACME operation. Choose the proper role-based action as follows:
  • System Manager: evaluate whether privileges should be granted if this is an exceptional circumstance.
  • ACM Client Programmer: review the arguments provided to the SYS$ACM[W] system service to determine which ones are causing the status code.

ABORT, operator requested abort on fatal error BACKUP, Backup Utility In response to a BACKUP-I-SPECIFY prompt, the user or operator entered the QUIT option; the Backup utility terminated. None
ABORT, 'test-name' aborted at 'date' or 'time' UETP, User Environment Test Package A test ended abnormally. Take action based on the accompanying message.
ABORT, abort SYSTEM, System Services The $END_TRANS service returns this message when a transaction aborts. The reason for the abort is specified in the reason code returned in the I/O status block. Take action based on the reason code, then retry the transaction.
ABORT, abort SYSTEM, System Services An attempted operation was aborted by the $CANCEL system service. One of the following occurred:
  • An I/O request was canceled before completion.
  • A logical link was disconnected following a network request.
  • A fatal hardware error occurred.
 The operating system does not normally display this message. User programs should be coded to detect and respond to the status return. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DMP11 interface, examine the device-dependent longword in the IOSB to determine if the device-dependent longword in the IOSB to determine if the controller is dead. (The controller is dead if the XM$V_ERR_FATAL bit is set.) If the controller is dead, restart the controller. Next, check if the tributary is dead. (The tributary is dead if the SM$V_STS_ACTIVE bit is clear.) If the tributary is dead, restart the tributary.
ABORT, abort SYSGEN, System Generation Utility The action has been aborted. Take action based on the accompanying messages.
ABORT, fatal error encountered; operation terminated PPPD, Point-to-Point Protocol The fatal error reported in an accompanying message caused the command to fail. Correct the problem and retry the operation.

BADATTRIB, bad attribute control list SYSTEM, System Services An invalid code or size is specified in the read or write attribute list for a file system ACP QIO function. Check for a programming error. Begin debugging procedures to verify the source of the problem and to correct the problem. Note that when using ANSI-standard magnetic tapes, the block size must be 4 bytes larger than the largest record in a variable record length file, and the largest record that can be written is 2048 bytes. To write files larger than 2048 bytes, mount the tape using the /BLOCKSIZE qualifier.

BADIMGHDR, bad image header in shareable image file 'file-name' LINK, Linker Utility A shareable image contains a bad image header, or the file is not a shareable image. Correct the problem and relink.
BADIMGHDR, bad image header SYSTEM, System Services An image to be executed with the DCL command RUN or within a process is not in the correct format and cannot be executed. Verify that the specified file is an executable image. If necessary, recompile or reassemble and relink the program to ensure that the image file is in the proper format.

CTRLERR, fatal controller error SYSTEM, System Services The exact meaning depends on the device. This message may indicate a hardware error. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a disk driver or magnetic tape, it indicates a controller-related error. For example, one or more of the following conditions can cause this error:
  • Late data
  • Error confirmation
  • Invalid map register
  • Interface timeout
  • Missed transfer
  • Programming error
  • Read timeout
  • RX01 switch set incorrectly (RX02 only) (disk driver specific)

If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR11-W interface, a fatal error that affects all DR11-W activity is set in the DR11-W CSR on completion of the QIO request. Look at the third and fourth words of the IOSB (CSR and EIR) for the specific cause of the error. If the condition indicated in the CSR can be cleared (that is, if the ATTN bit can be cleared), SS$_DRVERR is returned. If the condition cannot be cleared, SS$_CTRLERR is returned. In both cases, the driver performs a device reset to the DR11-W. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR32 interface, a fatal hardware malfunction occurred that stops all DR32 activity. (Only for start data transfer functions.) The second longword of the IOSB contains additional information pertaining to this error. The following bit values are associated with SS$_CTRLERR:

  • XF$V_IOS_INVPTE
  • XF$V_IOS_SBIERR
  • XF$V_IOS_RDSERR

If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DMC/DMR device, it can occur for one of the following reasons:

  • NAK threshold errors exceeded
  • Timeout on response from remote end
  • Buffer not available
  • Maintenance message received in RUN mode
  • Message too long to fit in receiver buffer
  • Modem has disconnected
  • Start message is received in run mode
  • Nonexistent memory error
  • Halt to DMC/DMR is complete

If this message is displayed, restart the DMC/DMR device.

If this message is associated with a status code returned by an LPA11-K driver, it is a fatal error that affects all LPA11-K activity. The LPA11-K terminates all active requests. The third and fourth words of the IOSB contain the LPA11-K Ready-Out Status Register and Maintenance Register contents. In particular, the high byte of the third word contains the specific LPA11-K error code.

If this message is associated with DEUNA hardware, on a STARTUP request the startup failed because of bad error return from the DEUNA hardware. On a read request, the hardware returned a zero-length message.

Your action depends on the type of device to which the I/O request is directed. If the failure is on STARTUP, the DEUNA should be checked by running UETP, or VSI Customer Support should run the DEUNA diagnostics. If the failure is on a read request and the protocol has enabled PADDING, then the remote software module should be corrected to stop sending zero-length messages. If the failure persists, notify the system manager.

DATACHECK, write check error SYSTEM, System Services The data in memory did not match the data on disk during a data check operation. If this message is associated with a status code returned by an LPA11-K driver, a mismatch between the microcode in memory and the microcode loaded into the LPA11-K is detected. The second word of the IOSB contains the number of bytes successfully loaded. Another possible explanation is that the Ethernet hardware detected a late collision on a write request. If necessary, modify the source program to detect and respond to the condition. If there is a hardware error, check the Ethernet cable and all Ethernet controllers for proper operation. If the error persists, notify the system manager.

DEVMOUNT, device is already mounted SYSTEM, System Services The device specified has a volume mounted and cannot be allocated, or a volume is already mounted on a device for which a mount request is previously issued. Verify the device name (or logical name, if a logical name is specified) and reenter the command with the correct device name. If the device name is correct and if the volume that is mounted can be dismounted, dismount the volume and reenter the request.
DEVMOUNT, a volume is mounted on the device; you must use SET SECURITY to modify the security profile SET, SET Command and SET Utility The SET DEVICE/ACL command cannot be used for a device with an ODS-2 mounted volume. To modify the volume security profile, use the SET SECURITY/CLASS=VOLUME command. To modify the device security profile, use the SET SECURITY/CLASS=DEVICE command.

DEVNOTMBX, device is not a mailbox SYSTEM, System Services An I/O channel specified in a system service request is not currently assigned to a mailbox. The service requires that the device be a mailbox. Check for a programming error. Verify that the channel number specified for the service is valid.

DEVOFFLINE, device is off line OPCOM, Operator Communication Process This message is displayed on the operator's console when a device goes off line in the OpenVMS system configuration. Take appropriate measures to bring the device on line.
DEVOFFLINE, device is not in configuration or not available SYSTEM, System Services For some device-specific reason, the associated driver is not available. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DMC11 interface, the device protocol is not started (read or write). The function is inconsistent with the current state of the unit (Set Mode). Or, possibly the device is not currently on line or the Ethernet protocol has not been specified. In the first case, reenable or repair the device and retry the operation. In the second case, make sure the XE device has been configured as ONLINE. Also, make sure that all parameters in the QIO STARTUP request are supplied, NMASC_PCLI_PTY.

DRVERR, fatal drive error SYSTEM, System Services If this message is returned by a request to a magnetic tape or a disk driver, it is a drive-related error. One or more of the following conditions can cause this error:
  • Drive or driver timing error
  • Illegal function
  • Illegal register
  • Operation incomplete
  • Register modify refused
  • Write clock failure (disk driver-specific)
  • Nonexecutable function (magnetic tape-specific)
  • Register modify refused
  • Write clock failure (disk driver-specific)
  • Nonexecutable function (magnetic tape-specific)
  • Unrecovered reproducible error (magnetic tape-specific)
If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR11-W interface, a fatal error that affects all DR11-W activity is set in the DR11-W CSR on completion of the QIO request. Look at the third and fourth words of the IOSB (CSR and EIR) for the specific cause of the error. If the condition indicated in the CSR can be cleared, that is, if the ATTN bit can be cleared, SS$_DRVERR is returned. If the condition cannot be cleared, SS$_CTRLERR is returned.

IVADDR, invalid media address SYSTEM, System Services This message can occur for several reasons:
  • An invalid disk address was specified in a physical disk read or write operation.
  • A duplicate address test failed on an attempt to start a network protocol.
  • A hardware error occurred.
 Take action appropriate to the cause of the error:
  • If a programming error occurred, update the program to specify a valid disk address.
  • If the error occurred on network activity, contact the network manager, who can do the following tests to determine the cause of the error:
    • Test: Use the NCP command SHOW KNOWN LINES to check whether the user's machine has multiple LAN lines. If so, DECnet for OpenVMS may be trying to use more than one LAN adapter on the same extended LAN. Action: Run DECnet for OpenVMS on only one LAN adapter per machine.
    • Test: Disconnect the erring system from the LAN. Go to another node on the LAN and set host to the erring node. If you get a response, another system on your extended LAN is up and running with your DECnet address. Action: Decide which DECnet address each system can use.
    • Test: Check for a halted node that was last using the disputed DECnet address. Such a node's LAN adapter is still active using the LAN address. Action: Initialize the bus or power off the machine on the node using the disputed DECnet address.
  • If none of the above solutions applies and you suspect a hardware error, contact VSI Customer Support.

Use the DIAGNOSE command to examine the system error log for more information related to an error occurring on the device at this time. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR11-W interface, a parity error is detected in a block mode transfer when the buffered data path of the UNIBUS adapter is purged. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR32 interface, either the microcode is not loaded successfully or the DR32 controller detected a parity error and a hardware malfunction is indicated. The second longword of the I/O status block contains additional information pertaining to this malfunction for the DR32; the following bit values are associated with SS$_PARITY:
  • XF$V_IOS_WCSPE
  • XF$V_IOS_CIPE
  • XF$V_IOS_DIPE
  • XF$V_IOS_PARERR

If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a disk driver, one or more of the following conditions can cause this error:

  • Drive parity error
  • ECC hard error
  • Header compare error
  • Map parity error
  • Header CRC error
  • MASSBUS control parity error

If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a magnetic tape driver, one or more of the following conditions can cause this error:

  • Attempt to read beyond the logical end of volume (possibly caused by a missing or overwritten tape mark)
  • Control bus parity error
  • Correctable data error (PE only)
  • Correctable skew (PE only)
  • CRC error (NRZI only)
  • Data bus parity error
  • Format error (PE only)
  • Invalid tape mark (NRZI only)
  • Longitudinal parity error (NRZI only)
  • Map parity error
  • MASSBUS control parity error
  • MASSBUS data parity error
  • Nonstandard gap
  • Read data substitute
  • Uncorrectable error (PE only)
  • Vertical parity error (NRZI only)
  • PE = 9-track, 1600-BPI, phase-encoded tape
  • NRZI = 9-track, 800-BPI, nonreturn-to-zero inverted tape

If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to an LPA11-K driver, a parity error occurred in a UBA-buffered data path. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to an LPA11-K driver, a parity error occurred in a UBA-buffered data path. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a terminal driver, a parity bit mismatch was detected by the device interface during a read operation. The I/O operation stopped when the mismatch was detected. (Data is received up to this point in the operation.) SS$_PARITY is meaningful only on terminal lines that have parity enabled.

Your action depends on the type of device to which the I/O request is directed.

PARTESCAPE, partial escape SYSTEM, System Services A terminal escape sequence is only partially stored because the buffer space was exhausted before the sequence was complete. The type-ahead buffer contains the remainder of the escape sequence unless the terminal line had the TT$M_NOTYPEAHD characteristic. Check for a programming error. Modify the source program, if necessary, to detect and respond to the condition.

RESULTOVF, resultant string overflow SYSTEM, System Services A user buffer specified to receive data from the system is not long enough. The system does not truncate the data because the loss of data will damage its integrity. Check for a programming error. Verify that character string descriptors for output data buffers reflect the correct lengths.

SECTBLFUL, process or global section table is full SYSTEM, System Services The system space allocated to maintain information about sections is full; no more sections can be created. If you have created many private sections, you may have to delete sections when they are no longer needed. If the error occurs while a global section - in particular a system global section - is being created, this message may indicate that not enough space is allocated at system generation for the section tables. Notify the system manager of the deficiency.

TAPEPOSLOST, magnetic tape position lost SYSTEM, System Services The magnetic tape ancillary control process lost the current position on the tape and cannot continue processing. Close all open files. Dismount and remount the tape and position it to the desired position, if possible. If the error persists, the tape may be defective.

TIMEOUT, device timeout SYSTEM, System Services An input operation did not complete because the timeout period specified with the request elapsed before the input was received. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to an LPA11-K driver, a device timeout occurred. (Only for the start microprocessor, initialize LPA11-K, set clock, and start data transfer request functions.) An interrupt was not received within 1 second after the request was issued. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR11-W interface driver, the timeout period specified for this request was exceeded. A device reset is issued to the DR11-W when the timeout occurs. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a terminal driver, the specified terminal could not perform the QIO read operation because a timeout occurred at the terminal. In other words, an interrupt was lost, IO$M_TIMED was specified on a read operation, or a hardware timeout occurred. IOSB+2 contains the number of bytes transferred before the timeout occurred. If the message is associated with a network operation, the connect request was not completed within the maximum time. The action to take depends on the context of the command or application. For example, if a timeout occurs during the execution of a DCL command MOUNT, verify that the physical device is ready and that the volume is properly loaded on the device.

UNASEFC, unassociated event flag cluster SYSTEM, System Services An image called a system service specifying an event flag number in a common cluster with which it is not associated. Check for a programming error. Verify the event flag numbers specified in system service calls, and verify that the required request to associate with the cluster completed successfully.

UNSAFE, drive unsafe SYSTEM, System Services The drive malfunctioned and cannot be used. Check the status of the device and repeat the request. If the failure persists, notify the system manager.

%x00000576 %x00000577 %x00000578 %x00000579 %x00000580 %x00000581 %x00000582 %x00000583

VASFULL, virtual address space is full SYSTEM, System Services The virtual address space is full. This condition can occur if the attempted operation exceeds a settable quota or the architectural limits of the system. On a VAX system, if this message is associated with a vector disabled (VECDIS) status code, insufficient process virtual address space exists to allow the current process's mainline vector state to be saved. Depending on the version of OpenVMS, the following parameters can affect the available address space:
  • The value set by the /PGFLQUOTA qualifier in the ADD or MODIFY commands of the AUTHORIZE utility can be a factor on all versions of OpenVMS.
  • The total size of P0 or P1 space is limited to 1 GB each. This is a hard limit on all versions of OpenVMS.
  • The value of the VIRTUALPAGECNT system parameter limits the total size of the sum of P0 space and P1 space on all versions of OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha prior to Version 7.0. VIRTUALPAGECOUNT has no effect on OpenVMS I64 and OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.0 or later.
  • The number of pages that a single process can have backed by page files is limited to 4,194,304 on all versions of OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS Alpha prior to Version 7.3. This is a hard limit for the affected versions. No such limitation exists on OpenVMS I64 and OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3 and later. The usual cause for the VASFULL error is the value set by /PGFLQUOTA. This value should never be set below 1024. By default, /PGFLQUOTA is set to 32768 pages on VAX systems and 50000 pagelets on Alpha and I64 systems. (See the HP OpenVMS System Management Utilities Reference Manual for details.) If you raise the value set by /PGFLQUOTA, be sure to log out and log in again before retrying the operation that produced the VASFULL error. For OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.0 and later, VIRTUALPAGECNT is not a factor. If you change the value of the VIRTUALPAGECNT system parameter on an earlier version or on a VAX system, you must reboot the system. Some system services can return VASFULL when an allocation fills or exceeds P0 space. For example, a call to SYS$CRMPSC of one billion bytes (2 million blocks) or more will exceed the available P0 space and return a VASFULL error. On OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.0 and later, 64-bit addressing permits the use of P2 space, allowing larger allocations. For example, you can use a 64-bit addressing variation of SYS$CRMPSC. (At the DCL prompt, enter "HELP System_Services" to view a list of the $CRMPSC_*64 system services for OpenVMS Alpha.) On OpenVMS VAX, user programs are limited to an architectural maximum of two billion bytes (the total capacity of P0 and P1 space), less any existing contents.

VOLINV, volume is not software enabled SYSTEM, System Services The volume valid bit is not set for the volume. All physical and logical I/O operations will be rejected until the bit is set. Check for a programming error. Verify that the volume is mounted and loaded. Check to see that the power is on before retrying the program.

NOTAPEOP, no tape operator SYSTEM, System Services An operation failed because no system operator is available to satisfy a requirement for manual assistance; for example, to mount the next volume in a multivolume tape file. Ensure that the tapes were mounted on the original mount request, or run the job when an operator is present.

NOLINKS, maximum network logical links exceeded SYSTEM, System Services The maximum number of allowable logical network links exists and no more slots are available to establish another link. Retry the request later. If the problem persists, ask the system manager to increase the allowed number of logical links. Or, if you have SYSPRV, you could run the Network Control Program (NCP) and change the number of maximum allowable links yourself. To increase the number of allowable links, use the NCP command SET EXECUTOR MAXIMUM LINKS n, where the valid range for n is between 1 and 960, unless the ALIAS MAXIMUM LINKS parameter is also specified, in which case the valid range is between 1 and 512. A reasonable range for maximum links on most networks is between 25 and 50.

NOSUCHNODE, remote node is unknown SYSTEM, System Services The node name portion of a file or task specification refers to a node that either is not part of the cluster or is unknown to the network ACP. Check the node name specification. Use the DCL command SHOW CLUSTER to verify the status of OpenVMS Cluster nodes or use the DCL command SHOW NETWORK to verify the status of the network and available nodes.

REJECT, connect to network object rejected SYSTEM, System Services A request to connect to an object at a remote node failed for one of the following reasons:
  • The object requested does not exist.
  • The access control information specified is invalid.
  • The partner NSP has no resources.
  • The partner task exited during the connect sequence.
  • The partner task rejected the connect.
 Determine which reason caused the failure and try to correct the condition.

TOOMUCHDATA, too much optional or interrupt data specified SYSTEM, System Services This message can occur under the following circumstances:
  • A network interrupt message was rejected because it contains more than 16 bytes of data.
  • On a write request, the DEUNA hardware incorrectly read the value for the buffer size because the DEUNA device driver previously verified that the buffer size was correct.
  • An attempt to declare an additional DECnet object failed because the maximum number of objects allowed by the local DECnet node already exists.
 The following actions correspond to the causes listed above.
  • Repeat the request; do not specify more than 16 bytes of data.
  • Check the UNIBUS and UNIBUS adapter, especially the Data Path board.
  • Increase the value of the NCP parameter EXECUTOR MAXIMUM DECLARED OBJECTS (default = 31).

DEVACTIVE, device is active SYSTEM, System Services If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR32 interface, the microcode cannot be loaded because there is an active data transfer request (only for the load microcode function). If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to an LPA11-K driver, the microcode cannot be loaded or the microprocessor cannot be started because there is an active data transfer request. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR11-W interface, the DR11-W controller is occupied with a request from another process. The operating system does not normally display this message. Modify the source program, if necessary, to detect and respond to the condition.

OPINCOMPL, operation is incomplete SYSTEM, System Services This message indicates a hardware or device driver error and can be returned under any of the following conditions:
  • A write request was issued for a disk device before the unit finished restarting after a hardware failure.
  • An attempt was made to read beyond the logical end-of-volume on a magnetic tape device.
  • On a DR11-W I/O request, a block mode transfer operation completed without transferring the requested number of bytes. The DR11-W generates an end-of-transfer interrupt without transferring all the data.
 For disks or DR11-W devices, check for hardware errors. Check the cabling and configuration. Ensure that the device driver is compatible with the device. Then retry the write request.

BUFNOTALIGN, buffer incorrectly aligned SYSTEM, System Services A table, list, or buffer area is not correctly aligned. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to a DR32 interface, the command block address in the data transfer command table is not quadword aligned (only for start data transfer functions). 
If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to an LPA11-K driver and this error occurs for an initialize LPA11-K request, the initialize command table is not word aligned. If this error occurs for a start data transfer request, there are several possible causes:
  • The user status word (USW) is not word aligned
  • The buffer area is not longword aligned
  • The random channel list (RCL) is not word aligned
 Determine which data area is incorrectly aligned and align it on the appropriate boundary; that is, word, longword, and so forth.

DEVCMDERR, device command error SYSTEM, System Services The exact meaning depends on the device. If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to an LPA11-K driver (only for the initialize LPA11-K, set clock, and start data transfer request functions), it is associated with the issuance of a new LPA11-K command. The third and fourth words of the IOSB contain the LPA11-K Ready-Out Status Register and Maintenance Register contents. In particular, the high byte of the third word contains the specific LPA11-K error code. Your action depends on the type of device to which the I/O request is directed.

If this message is associated with a status code returned by a request to an LPA11-K driver, it indicates an LPA11-K user request error for a start data transfer request. The third and fourth words of the IOSB contain the LPA11-K Ready-Out Status Register and Maintenance Register contents. In particular, the high byte of the third word contains the specific LPA11-K error code. On a write request, the DEUNA failed to transmit the message after 16 attempts.

Your action depends on the type of device to which the I/O request is directed. The Ethernet cable may have short-circuited, or it may have been temporarily overloaded. In either case, check the Ethernet cable and, if it is operational, you might want to send packets again. However, it must be noted that if these kinds of errors persist, the Ethernet is overloaded.

IVBUFLEN, invalid buffer length SYSTEM, System Services The exact meaning of this message depends on the device. If the device is an LPA11-K and if this error occurs for an initialize LPA11-K request, the initialize command table length is not the required 278 bytes. If this error occurs for a start data transfer request, there are several possible causes:
  • The command table length is not the required 40 bytes
  • The buffer area size is not evenly divisible by the number of buffers assigned
  • The individual buffer size is 0
  • The individual buffer size is not a multiple of 2 for a multirequest mode request, or is not 4 for a dedicated mode request
  • The random channel list length is 0 or is not a multiple of 2
  • Bit 15 in the last word of the random channel list is not set

If the device is a DR32 interface, the command block size or the buffer block size is 0 or equal to or greater than 2**29, or the command table length is not XF$K_CMT_LENGTH. If this error was returned by the Pseudo Terminal facility, it 

indicates that the buffer size supplied is illegal (less than 0 or greater than 508 characters).
Your action depends on the type of device to which the I/O request is directed. Refer to the HP OpenVMS I/O User's Reference Manual for additional information. If the error was returned by the Pseudo Terminal facility, check the buffer size.

VECDIS, vector disabled fault, code='xx', PC='location', PSL='xxxxxxx' SYSTEM, System Services The current process issued a vector instruction that requires an idle vector processor to become active. Under normal circumstances, this event is not reported to a system user. However, if the vector processor was originally disabled due to some error involving the current process, the VECDIS message is issued in association with one of the following messages:
  • BADCONTEXT - The vector state of the mainline routine is corrupt and cannot be restored.
  • CPUNOTACT - The VAX system contains no vector-present processor on which to schedule the current process.
  • EXQUOTA - The OpenVMS operating system cannot allocate sufficient space to save the vector state of the mainline routine because the process in which the routine is executing exceeded process paging file quota.
  • INSFMEM - Insufficient nonpaged dynamic memory exists to turn the current process into a vector consumer.
  • INSFWSL - The OpenVMS operating system cannot allocate sufficient space to save the vector state of the mainline routine because the working set limit of the process in which the routine is executing is too low.
  • MCHECK - The vector processor has been disabled due to the detection of a hardware error.
  • NOPRIV - An ACL on the vector capability denied a user mode program access to the vector processor.
  • VASFULL - The OpenVMS operating system cannot allocate sufficient space to save the vector state of the mainline routine because the address space (P0 space) of the process in which the routine is executing is full.
 See the description of the associated status code for additional information on the error.

ILLVECOP, illegal vector opcode fault, opcode='xx', PC='location', 
           PSL='xxxxxxxx'
SYSTEM, System Services An operation code designated as an illegal vector opcode by the VAX architecture has been encountered during the execution of an image. This message indicates an exception condition and is usually followed by a display of the condition arguments, registers, and stack at the time of the exception. Examine the PC of the vector instruction that caused the exception to be reported. (Note, however, that this instruction is not always the instruction that caused the exception.)

VECALIGN, vector alignment exception, reason mask='xx', virtual address='location', PC='location', PSL='xxxxxxx' SYSTEM, System Services The current process issued a VAX vector memory access instruction that attempted an operation on an improperly aligned vector element. The VAX architecture requires that vector operands to vector memory access instructions be naturally aligned in memory. Longwords must be aligned on longword boundaries; quadwords must be aligned on quadword boundaries. This message indicates an exception condition and is followed by a register and stack dump to help locate the error. The reason mask is a longword whose lowest three bits, if set, indicate that the instruction caused a length violation (bit 0), referenced the process page table (bit 1), attempted a read/modify operation (bit 2), was a vector operation on an improperly aligned vector element (bit 3, always set), or was a vector instruction reference to an I/O space address (bit 4). Examine the PC and virtual address displayed in the message. The virtual address is an address in the same page as that address to which the access was attempted. Check the program listing to verify that the vector operands to vector memory instructions are naturally aligned.

HPARITH, high performance arithmetic trap, Imask='xxxxxxxx', Fmask='xxxxxxxx', summary='xx', PC='xxxxxxxx', PS='xxxxxxxx' SYSTEM, System Services The image performed an arithmetic or conversion operation that resulted in an arithmetic trap. When an arithmetic exception condition is detected, several instructions can be in various stages of execution. These instructions are allowed to finish before the arithmetic trap can be initiated. Some of these instructions can themselves cause further arithmetic traps. Thus it is possible for several arithmetic traps to be reported simultaneously. The Imask parameter records all integer registers that were targets of the instructions that set the bits in the exception summary. Bit 0 corresponds to R0, bit 1 corresponds to R1, and so on. The Fmask parameter records all floating-point registers that

NATFAULT, register NaT Consumption fault, reason mask='xx', PC='location', PS='xxxxxxxx' SYSTEM, System Services On I64, an image attempted to use a register whose value is Not A Thing. Bit 2 of the reason mask indicates that a read operation was attempted, probably with a NaT address. A NaT value can be generated by a user program using an I64 feature called control speculation. However, compiler-generated code should never take a NaT fault. Examine any user-written I64 assembly language code for bugs involving control speculation. Any register loaded speculatively must be tested for NaT before being used. NaT values are not allowed to be passed as arguments to other routines. If no user-written I64 assembly language is involved, contact HP Customer Support.
